Alida recognized among global leaders such as Google, Samsung, IBM, General Motors, and many others
TORONTO -- August 4, 2021 -- Fast Company today announced its third annual Best Workplaces for Innovators list, honoring businesses that demonstrate a deep commitment to encouraging innovation across their entire organization. Alida is included among these top industry players due to a continuous commitment to leading with innovation and placing it at the core of its business and culture.
Developed in collaboration with Accenture, the 2021 Best Workplaces for Innovators ranks 100 winners from a variety of industries, including computer science, biotech, consumer packaged goods, nonprofit, education, financial services, cybersecurity, and engineering. Working together, Fast Company editors and Accenture researchers scored nearly 1,500 applications, and a panel of eight eminent judges reviewed and endorsed the top 100 companies. The 2021 awards feature workplaces from around the world with several of the honorees based outside the U.S.
“It is an absolute honour to be recognized among Fast Company’s list of 100 Best Workplace Innovators,” said Ross Wainwright, CEO of Alida. “An innovative approach to business has been central to our leadership position in the Customer Experience Management (CXM) and Voice-of-Customer (VoC) markets globally and has also been integral to our Alida culture. I am grateful to have such committed and passionate employees who continuously innovate and create meaningful relationships with our customers, partners, and with each other.”
Alida has a strong focus on innovation and prioritizes this value across all aspects of the business. Over the past two years, the Alida Product and Engineering team has delivered over 123 new product enhancements and continues to place customer-driven innovation at the centre of every product release. Innovation also runs through Alida’s social community programs called Alida Impact. This program has inspired innovative projects such as the Toronto Vaccine Finder where employees creatively adapted Alida software to help simplify the process for Toronto residents to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Alida is dedicated to creating an environment which promotes and encourages innovation among all of its employees.
“These leaders and teams created cultures of innovation and sustained them, even as remote work extended into 2021,” says Stephanie Mehta, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “This newest list of the Best Workplaces for Innovators honors those organizations that found ways to collaborate and invent despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, ensuring employees were at the forefront.”
