Edmonton, Alberta – Focus Corporation is proud to announce that we have been awarded recognition as one of the Best Employers for New Canadians in 2009.

We have achieved recognition for a number of prestigious awards, namely: One of Alberta’s Fastest Growing Companies for the years 2002; 2003; 2005; 2006; 2007 and 2008 and One of Alberta’s Top 25, 35 and 40 Employers.

"We are pleased to have been chosen as one of the Best Employers for New Canadians in 2009. The success of this company would not be possible without its employees and we truly value the knowledge, experience and diversity that new Canadians bring to Focus.

Angela Fong, Chief Corporate Services Officer

Focus is committed to respond to the needs of our cultural diversity. We thank our employees for making Focus their employer of choice and value their contribution to our business.

Background
The Best Employers for New Canadians competition is managed by the editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers in partnership with The Maytree Foundation and The J.W. McConnell Family Foundation, two foundations with long histories of strengthening Canadian communities. This special designation recognizes the nation's best employers for recent immigrants. These employers offer interesting programs to assist new Canadians in making the transition to a new workplace -- and a new life in Canada.

Employers are evaluated in several areas of assistance to new Canadians such as offering programs designed to assist employees who are new Canadians; taking steps to reduce employment barriers such as recognizing their foreign educational credentials and experience and assisting them in getting their documentation recognized in Canada; providing internal coaching, mentoring and cross-cultural training.
