National Leasing, a leading provider of asset financing solutions and member of the Canadian Western Bank Group was recognized for its 7th consecutive year as one of the Top 50 Best Small and Medium Employers in Canada.

"National Leasing just completed a record year of financial performance, which included surpassing $1 billion dollars of total leases outstanding," said Tom Pundyk, National Leasing's President. "While it's always very satisfying to achieve new financial milestones, we recognize that the performance of our organization is ultimately driven by the tremendous engagement of our team. Our people work hard under a common mandate to get deals done for customers; and our customers are saying great things about us."

The Best Small and Medium Employers in Canada study, now in its 10th year, is designed for Canadian companies with 50 to 399 employees and more than three years of business history. The results of employee opinion surveys are used to determine the placement of participating organizations. The surveys are largely designed to measure employee engagement. Organizations with high employee engagement enjoy tangible benefits, including a greater ability to attract and retain key talent.
