2004 Employer of the Year   

SOURCE: MAPLE RIDGE AND PITT MEADOWS TIMES FRIDAY JUNE 18 2004

Eight employers across the province are being recognized this week for their outstanding commitment to their staff and their community.

          Most Referred Real Estate Agents was honored Wednesday by the provincially funded Job Wave BC program for constantly providing a great work environment and internal opportunities for employees.

          Most Referred Real Estate Agents is a real estate technology company that produces, maintains and markets web sites from over 5,000 realtors in over 2,600 markets across the United States and Canada. Founded in 1997, Most Referred has grown from 18 to 45 staff and is looking to hire 15 more over the next year.

          We've been working with a number of job agencies to find staff, said (President) Glenn Davies, I guess the folks there have been getting reports back from people about how we do business. I guess they've had reports from people who didn't get hired who said they wanted to receive referrals if something came up again.

          Davies gave a lot of credit to Joan Wild in the human resources department and Ken Galpin, CEO, for developing good strategies for finding and retaining staff.

          We've set the tone of what the culture is in the office and we're pretty proud of what we've achieved, he said. The contribution our small business employers make to the province in invaluable. Together employers and JobWave have made it possible for over 28,000 British Columbians to find full-time employment.

          Employers are the backbone of B.C. communities, explains Darlene Bailey of JobWave BC. Join us in recognizing the dedication of these small business heroes who help build our dynamic communities.

          JobWave works closely with employers to combine free HR services, post-placement support and remote assistance. JobWave is funded by the Ministry of Human Resources and partners with the BC Chamber of Commerce and 43 B.C. chambers.
