Bayshore HealthCare achieves platinum status, wins Canada’s Best Managed Companies award for 16th straight year

TORONTO, May 25, 2022 /CNW/ – For the 16^th year in a row, Bayshore HealthCare has earned inclusion on Deloitte’s list of the Best Managed Companies in Canada. Bayshore also received the highest designation, Platinum status, for the 10th consecutive year.

Now in its 29th year, Canada’s Best Managed Companies remains one of the country’s leading business awards programs recognizing Canadian‑owned and managed companies for innovative, world‑class business practices.

“The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the shift from institutionalized care to home, community and digital health care in Canada,” said Stuart Cottrelle, President of Bayshore HealthCare. “We directed our strategy to reflect this need, putting more resources into wrap-around services for “aging in place” and contact-less care. I am particularly proud to see how our evolution of digital home health care services will further enhance the experience for patients, caregivers, and front-line workers.”

Best Managed applicants are evaluated by an independent judging panel comprised of representatives from program sponsors in addition to special guest judges. In 2022 companies share commonalities that include (but are not limited to) putting their people and culture at the forefront, focusing on their Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) strategies and doubling down on accelerated digitization.

“It has become increasingly important for businesses to foster collaborative workplaces where employees are empowered to make valuable contributions to their organizations,” said Lorrie King, Partner, Deloitte Private and Co-Leader, Canada’s Best Managed Companies program.

“This year’s Best Managed winners embraced a people-first mentality, enabling employees to cultivate important capabilities and integrating diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives into their core strategy. By prioritizing employee wellbeing and championing professional development, these companies have been able to harness an engaged talent pool to explore new ventures and set the course for continuous improvement and growth,” she added.
