WATERLOO – December 10, 2019 – eSentire, Inc., the global leader in Managed Detection and Response (MDR), today announced it has been named to the 2020 Waterloo Area’s Top Employers list. Now in its 13th year, Waterloo Area's Top Employers is an annual competition organized by the editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers. This special designation recognizes the employers in the Kitchener-Waterloo and Guelph area that lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work. This marks the third consecutive year that eSentire has been named to the sought-after list.
eSentire was selected as one of the Waterloo Area’s Top Employers because of its offer for employees to have the opportunity to take advantage of flexible hours and telecommuting work options to help balance their work and personal lives as well as the numerous social events throughout the year.
Kathryn Hodge, VP, People, eSentire, said: “In June 2019, we opened our new state-of-the-art 65,000 square-foot global headquarters in Waterloo so that both our business and employees could better take advantage of the educational, talent, industry and government support that Waterloo Region has to offer. Our people are essential to our success, and we are proud to be once again recognized as one of the Waterloo Area’s Top Employers.”
Richard Yerema, Managing Editor of the Canada's Top 100 Employers Project at Mediacorp, said: “The Waterloo area is known around the world for its technology expertise and is home to some of the most advanced international research in engineering and computer science. The area is supported by first-class educational, health and public services that have made it possible for the world’s best and brightest to study, work and live in this region.”
