G&K Services, Inc. (Nasdaq:GKSRA), a market leader in branded
identity apparel programs and facility services, today announced
that it was named one of the 50 Best Employers in Canada for the
second consecutive year. The award is sponsored by The Globe and
Mail, Canada's national newspaper, and Hewitt and Associates, a
global consulting firm whose Vancouver, British Columbia office
conducted and analyzed the surveys for the award. "We are honored
to receive this award for the second consecutive year," said Robert
Wood, president of G&K Services Canada. "The award is based on
responses from our most valuable asset, our people, which serves as
a strong testament to the fulfilling work environment at our
company. We look forward to continuing to provide people with a
great place to work while serving our customers' image and safety
needs." G&K Services has been providing branded identity
apparel and facility service programs to customers in Canada since
1990. Today, G&K is the largest provider of these programs in
Canada, employing more than 1,900 people. "Our strong company
culture and outstanding people create a positive, opportunity-rich
environment across North America," said Richard Marcantonio,
chairman and chief executive officer of G&K Services, Inc. "We
are very proud of our Canadian partners whose hard work and
dedication earned G&K Canada this recognition for the second
straight year. In addition to establishing a great work
environment, they have also continued to build our market leading
position in Canada." As in previous years, global HR outsourcing
and consulting firm Hewitt and Associates designed and conducted
this study. The survey is sent to more than 1,500 Canadian
companies with greater than 400 employees. Broken down into three
components - the Leadership Team Survey, the Human Resources
Survey, and the Employee Opinion Survey - the results were meant to
capture a broad employee perspective within the company. The
Leadership Team survey focused on the vision, culture, strengths
and opportunities of the organization while the Human Resources
survey focused on the HR strategy and philosophy of the company.
The Employee survey was distributed to a random sample of
employees, representing union and non-union groups proportionally,
including employees from G&K's recent acquisitions in Canada.
Based on the employee size of G&K Canada, 500 employee surveys
were required for consideration. The results and an article on the
winners were published in The Globe and Mail's Report on Business
and La Presse on December 23, 2005. In addition, the study results
