bitHeads Wins Award as a Top 15 Employer

Award reflects growth and industry leadership resulting from investments in work environment, training and community involvement.

Ottawa, Canada (PRWEB) November 14, 2006 -- bitHeads Inc., a leading software product development outsourcing company, announces that it has been named by Mediacorp Canada Inc. as one of the Top 15 Employers in Ottawa.

The award comes as a result of Mediacorp's extensive "Top Employers in Canada" survey that recognizes fast growing and industry-leading companies who have demonstrated extraordinary commitments to training and skills development, communications, performance management, community involvement, work environment and employee benefits. The award follows a rigorous screening process by Mediacorp that began with 55,000 businesses from across Canada.

"It's validation for us that everyone here has created a company where folks like to come to work everyday," said Scott Simpson, President & CEO of bitHeads. "We invest in ourselves because we all like to be fairly rewarded and work in a great environment but also because we see direct business benefits for our company and our clients. We're able to attract and retain the brightest people, which reduces costs and provides continuity for our long term customers. With such a skilled and dedicated team of professionals, we're also able to be more effective as an organization. This has led to our great delivery track record and very satisfied repeat clients -- something we all take tremendous pride in."

The bitHeads headquarters building is somewhat legendary in the city, with the company taking over an old complex of movie cinemas within a shopping center several years ago. Two theatres were converted into office space but a third theatre was retained. It's used for company entertainment and business and use of the theatre is provided to local business groups for meetings and presentations. "We provide the space to these groups as part of giving back to Ottawa's tech community. If we can make Ottawa a stronger and more competitive place, that's better for all of us in the long run," Simpson added.
