Sleeman Breweries Recognized as One of Waterloo Area’s Top Employers
Today, the Canada’s Top 100 Employers competition announced that Sleeman Breweries has been named one of Waterloo Area’s Top Employers. We’re honoured to have been recognized in this way!
The Waterloo Area’s Top Employer competition accepts applications from business that have their head office in Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, or Guelph.
“Creating workplaces where our employees can thrive is important to us,” says Mike Minami, President and CEO. “Our employees are essential to our success, and we’re committed to creating workplaces where they can be their best.”
This is the fifth time, and the third year in a row, that Sleeman Breweries has been named one of Waterloo Area’s Top Employers.
Feedback from our employees helps shape the programs and benefits we offer. Wellness, Employee Engagement, and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion surveys help us understand what matters to our teams.
Companies are evaluated on eight criteria:
- Workplace
- Work Atmosphere & Social
- Health, Financial & Family Benefits
- Vacation & Time Off
- Employee Communications
- Performance Management
- Training & Skills Development, and
- Community Involvement
In our 2025 application, we highlighted some of the employee benefits we offer that help set us apart from other companies. Our parental leave for primary and secondary caregivers allows both parents to spend important time with their newest additions. Our tuition reimbursement program helps employees grow personally and professionally by pursuing coursework offered by a variety of institutions. Sleeman Breweries’ commitments to DEI, safety, and the environment are important aspects of who we are as an organization.
Sleeman Breweries was also highlighted in the editorial introduction to the Waterloo Area’s Top Employers list.
Congratulations to each of this year’s winners!
