CAMBRIDGE, Ontario– April 12, 2019 – eSentire, Inc., the global leader in Managed Detection and Response (MDR), today announced it was named to the 2019 Canada’s Top Small & Medium Employers list. This marks the second consecutive year that eSentire was named to the sought-after list.

Editors selected eSentire as one of Canada's Top Small & Medium Employers because of its offering of wellness spending account to support healthy habits, its organization of numerous social events throughout the year, and for providing access to an in-house concierge service that looks after personal errands for employees.

Employers are evaluated by the editors at Canada’s Top 100 Employers using the same criteria as the national competition: (1) Physical Workplace; (2) Work Atmosphere & Social; (3) Health, Financial & Family Benefits; (4) Vacation & Time Off; (5) Employee Communications; (6) Performance Management; (7) Training & Skills Development; and (8) Community Involvement. To determine eligibility, the Top 100 editors follow the SME definition used by Statistics Canada, limiting the competition to private-sector companies with under 500 employees worldwide.

Kathryn Hodge, VP, People said: “The ecosystem in Canada and Waterloo Region – the universities and colleges, talent, industry and government support are the pillars to our ability to innovate and thrive. Our employees are the backbone to our success and what makes eSentire a great place to work. We are very pleased to be named to this coveted list of top organizations for the second year in a row.”

“The companies that make this list are fast-growing employers that need to innovate rapidly,” says Richard Yerema, Managing Editor of the Canada’s Top 100 Employers project. “Some have doubled in size over the past year, but all of them are looking for new ways to attract the best and brightest employees so they can keep growing. Many compete in high technology fields, where the race to scale-up isn’t just a matter of ambition – it’s a matter of survival.”

Additionally, it was ranked on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 for the fourth consecutive year and the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Leadership Award for effective management and market attractiveness in a high-growth, competitive market.
