Concord, Ontario, February 10, 2010 - Accubid Systems is pleased to be named among the Top 50 Best Small and Medium Employers in Canada. This confirms what employees of the software developer have known all along. The study, now in its sixth year, is published in the Globe and Mail and PROFIT Magazine.

"We take great care of our people, our people take great care of our clients, and our clients take great care of us. This is the very foundation of our corporate culture," said Accubid Founder and CEO, Giovanni Marcelli.

"Our executive team has always felt that fostering a great working environment breeds a culture with happier, more productive employees", said Bob Yakimetz, Accubid's President & COO. "This explains our higher-than-average tenure and lower attrition."

Becoming a Top Best Small and Medium Employer is a very detailed and competitive process. This national awards program recognizes top employers with between 50 and 400 employees. This study mirrors the renowned Best Employer in Canada initiative run by partner, Hewitt Associates; however, caters to smaller businesses.

The rankings are primarily determined using the results from Employee Opinion Surveys. Here, 21 key engagement drivers are detailed and analyzed. The evaluation process also includes the assessment of organization practices and perspectives from the leadership team. This year, more than 200 companies across Canada registered to participate in the study.

Study partners include Queen's School of Business, Queen's Centre for Business Venturing and Hewitt Associates. More information about the Best Small & Medium Employers in Canada is available online at http://business.queensu.ca/qcbv/sme.
