The Great Place to Work® Institute – Canada has named Venterra one of the 2024 Best Workplaces™ for Giving Back based on our colleagues’ feedback in their Annual Employee Satisfaction Survey!
The Best Workplaces™ For Giving Back list is based on a thorough and independent analysis conducted by Great Place to Work®. As part of the survey, an impressive 91% of our team members responded positively to the statement, “I feel good about the way our organization contributes to the community.”
Venterra is built on fostering a Culture of Care, placing genuine care at the forefront of our operations. Demonstrating this dedication, we offer Venterra colleagues a day of paid time off to volunteer, underscoring our commitment to community involvement. Our efforts have been recently recognized by its inclusion in the 2024 People Companies that Care list. Additionally, as part of our annual holiday contributions, our chosen charity donation this year was Feed the Children, dedicated to helping children experiencing food insecurity.
To rank on the list, at least 90% of an organization’s team members had to indicate they feel good about how we contribute to the community. The “best” designation is based on colleagues’ responses to inclusion-related Trust Index statements.
“Being named to the 2024 Best Workplaces™ for Giving Back is a testament to our unwavering commitment to making a positive impact. Our team members’ dedication to community service and philanthropy is what truly sets us apart and makes Venterra a great place to work. To support our commitment, our team members receive eight hours of paid time off specifically for giving back to the charity of their choice. We are proud to support initiatives that enhance the lives of those around us and look forward to continuing our efforts to give back in meaningful ways,” said Venterra CEO, John Foresi.
“At the heart of Venterra is our Culture of Care, which emphasizes empathy, support, and a genuine desire to improve the lives of those around us. This culture is what inspires our team to go above and beyond in their efforts to give back,” said Andrew Stewart, Venterra Chairman.
Our unique culture has been honored by the Great Place To Work® Institute with a variety of awards in the past.

The independent basis for this recognition matters because it connects the award to colleagues’ own feedback rather than a general corporate claim. The 91% positive response about community contribution also gives the Culture of Care a concrete point of reference. Recognition is most meaningful when the underlying practice remains visible over time—through clear opportunities for colleagues to participate, regular updates on community impact, and feedback that helps shape future efforts.
The distinction between a recognition based on colleague feedback and one supported by an independent analysis is meaningful. It suggests that giving back is being evaluated as part of the organization’s everyday culture, rather than as a one-off campaign. The 91% positive response on community contribution also gives readers a clearer indicator of how that culture is perceived internally. Care is a useful standard when it is reflected in both values and feedback.
The survey result is more meaningful when read alongside the independent basis for the recognition. Reporting that 91% of team members felt positive about the organization’s contribution gives readers a concrete indicator, while the emphasis on a Culture of Care explains the intended connection between internal values and community impact. Continued detail about the kinds of giving supported could make that commitment easier to understand over time.
Recognition grounded in colleague feedback carries more weight when the underlying standard is independently assessed. The reported 91% positive response about the organization’s community contribution also gives the award a concrete internal measure, rather than leaving the Culture of Care as a broad phrase. Sustaining that care will depend on making community contribution visible in everyday decisions, not only in moments of recognition.
Learning the names of the chess pieces becomes more useful when each name is paired with a clear visual cue and its role on the board. Beginners can distinguish pieces more confidently when lessons also explain how their movement creates different tactical possibilities. A focused guide to chess character names can turn memorization into recognition, making it easier to follow notation, understand instructions, and discuss a position with other players.
