Since its inception, myRyan has delivered tremendous dividends for the Firm, its clients, and its employees. Ryan has dramatically improved employee retention and satisfaction, while sustaining revenue growth, profitability, and the highest client satisfaction ratings in Firm history.

Brint Ryan, Chairman and CEO of Ryan. “Receiving this prestigious award five consecutive years is a testament to our Canadian associates’ commitment and dedication to ensuring Ryan remains a great place to work.”
This list of Best Workplaces in Canada is compiled by Great Place to Work® Institute Canada based on feedback from anonymous employee surveys and an in-depth review of the organization’s culture, including an evaluation of HR policies and procedures.
