Genetec was recognized as a Top Employer “based on its numerous employee-focused initiatives including a work environment that promotes creativity, innovation, and teamwork,” according to the announcement.
“Aside from flexible hours, health and wellness programs, subsidized gourmet healthy meals, an on-site kinesiologist, and a fitness center, young team members at Genetec benefit from many training and continuing education opportunities, including an apprenticeship program to help candidates without the right qualifications to gain the necessary experience and skillset on the job,” the announcement says.
