OLG Continues to Shine as a Top Employer

The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) proudly announces its inclusion in Forbes' prestigious list of Canada's Best Employers for the third consecutive year. This recognition is a result of feedback from both direct and indirect employee recommendations, focusing on their willingness to endorse OLG to friends and family.

OLG, a state-run agency overseeing various gaming operations, from brick-and-mortar properties to iGaming, has been a stalwart supporter of healthcare, responsible gaming, and amateur athletes since its establishment in 1975. Having contributed over CA$59 billion to the province, OLG remains committed to its multifaceted role in community well-being.

Duncan Hannay, OLG's President and CEO, expressed gratitude for the consecutive Forbes listings, attributing the achievement to OLG's commitment to fostering a positive workplace culture. Emphasizing the significant investments made in its workforce, Hannay commended the staff's dedication to OLG's overarching goal of enhancing Ontario.

Hannay highlighted the deep commitment of OLG employees to the corporation's mission of bettering Ontario. He noted their daily efforts to provide top-tier gaming entertainment while positively impacting the lives of people throughout the province. Hannay acknowledged the honor of working alongside such dedicated professionals.

Forbes and Statista Inc. determine Canada's Best Employers through an independent survey of over 40,000 employees from companies with more than 500 employees. The evaluation relies on employees' likelihood to recommend their employer to friends and families, incorporating feedback from the general public.

Esther Zdolec, OLG's Senior Vice President of People and Culture, expressed humility at the continued positive sentiments from staff. Zdolec shared OLG's ongoing commitment to cultivating an inclusive, innovative, and engaging workplace. The organization aims to celebrate diverse perspectives and backgrounds, fostering a collaborative and positive environment.

Beyond its role as a distinguished employer, OLG actively engages in community initiatives. Collaborating with the Toronto Raptors in the Home Court Advantage campaign, OLG aims to support and donate funds to four community basketball organizations, enriching lives through sports. This builds on the success of the "Borough Ballers" initiative in April 2023, where CA$91,132 was raised and awarded to community basketball organizations.
