Mobile Climate Control (MCC) in Toronto has once again been recognized as a Great Place to Work in Canada. In the latest employee survey, 94% of employees said MCC is a great place to work, compared with 62% at a typical company.It's a result to be proud of, and one that reflects the people who make MCC what it is.
Another result is particularly encouraging: 100% of employees say MCC is a physically safe place to work.
We spoke with Dean Varley, President MCC Americas, about the results, the people behind them and what comes next.
Dean Varley:
I think it comes down to the culture our employees create together. People feel valued, respected and connected to what they do. There's a strong sense of teamwork, our leaders care about their people, and colleagues are always willing to help one another.
It's not the result of one particular initiative. It's about building trust, communicating openly and giving people opportunities to develop.
When employees feel listened to and supported, they're more engaged in their work. And that makes MCC a place where people enjoy working and feel they can make a difference.
Dean Varley:
That's a result we're particularly proud of. It shows that safety isn't simply a matter of following rules and procedures. It's something our employees take seriously every day.
People look out for one another, and they know their wellbeing matters. It's also important that employees feel comfortable raising concerns and trust that those concerns will be taken seriously.
A safe workplace is something we all help create, and it's encouraging to see that reflected so clearly in the survey.
Dean Varley:
Consistency, without a doubt. Safety isn't something we can focus on occasionally. It needs to be part of our everyday decisions, conversations and ways of working.
We've worked to create an environment where everyone understands what's expected and feels comfortable speaking up if something doesn't seem right.
And I think that's an important part of the result. Safety isn't just the responsibility of one department or a few individuals. Everyone has a role to play.
When people know they can rely on their colleagues and that their concerns will be heard, it builds both confidence and trust.
Dean Varley:
First, I think we should take a moment to appreciate what our employees have achieved together. These results are something everyone can be proud of.
But we also know that creating a great workplace is an ongoing effort. We need to keep listening, learning and finding ways to improve.
That includes supporting personal and professional development, encouraging collaboration between teams and making sure everyone feels welcome, respected and able to contribute.
The survey gives us a good indication that we're doing many things right. Now it's about building on that foundation and continuing to make MCC a workplace where people feel safe, supported and valued.
Being recognized as a Great Place to Work is an achievement worth celebrating. But what matters most is what the recognition represents: the everyday experiences of the people who work at MCC.
The results reflect a workplace built on teamwork, trust and a shared responsibility for one another. They also give us a strong foundation to keep improving.
Congratulations to everyone at MCC in Toronto, and thank you for the part you play in making it a great place to work.
