Northern Commerce and JMP Solutions have been named to the 2020 list of Best Workplaces in Ontario

TWO GROWING LONDON-BASED firms, Northern Commerce and JMP Solutions, can now call themselves two of Ontario’s best places to work as well.

The two companies have been included on the Great Place to Work 2020 list of Best Workplaces in Ontario. The list is compiled annually by the Great Place to Work Institute Canada, a research and management consultancy firm founded in the U.S. with International affiliate offices throughout the world. The Institute works with global publications to select Lists of Best Workplaces​ that appear in 49 different countries.

To be eligible for this list, organizations must have been Great Place to Work Certified in the past year, be headquartered in Ontario and have employees that participated in a Trust Index employee survey. Great Place to Work determined the best based on the overall Trust Index score from these employees.
