TORONTO, Nov. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ryan, a leading global tax services firm with the largest indirect and property tax practices in North America, has been recognized as one of the 40 Best Small and Medium Employers in Canada by Aon Hewitt, a leading global talent, retirement, and health solutions business. This is the fourth year that Ryan has been selected to this highly selective list, earning the prestigious platinum-level designation. This list publicly recognizes outstanding organizations that have created great work environments. The Best Small and Medium Employers in Canada program was established to identify and honor top Canadian employers, selected through the results of employee engagement scores and other factors measured by surveys of each firm's employees, human resources team, and executives.

Ryan's commitment to attracting and retaining world-class professionals at all levels is central to the Firm's growth and market leadership position in the industry. The Firm offers an innovative, flexible work environment called myRyan, which measures work performance based on results achieved, as opposed to hours worked. Since introducing myRyan, the Firm has dramatically improved employee retention and satisfaction, enjoyed consistent revenue growth, and continues to achieve record-high client satisfaction ratings.

"It is an honor to be recognized for our employee-centric work culture, and this award reinforces our commitment to attracting and retaining top Canadian talent to support our ability to deliver superior client service and results," said Garry Round, Ryan President of Canadian Operations. 

"We are unwavering in our determination to build and maintain the very best work environment in the Canadian tax services industry," said G. Brint Ryan, Chairman and CEO of Ryan. "I want to personally thank our Ryan associates for the trust they've placed in the Firm and for demonstrating what a successful performance culture can achieve."
