Fresche Legacy Recognized as One of Montreal’s Top Employers

Employee-friendly working conditions and a wide variety of benefits help Fresche employees smile while they work. Fresche Legacy, a leading provider of legacy application management and modernization solutions, was recognized today as one of Montreal’s Top Employers.

Fresche qualified as a top employer by providing a wide variety of benefits and flexible working conditions to its employees.

Montreal’s Top Employers program highlighted the following:

• Fresche encourages employees to expand their minds with generous tuition subsidies for courses at outside institutions.
• Along with profit sharing and share purchase plans, Fresche employees are encouraged to save with matching RRSP contributions.
• Fresche helps employees balance their personal and work lives with flexible work hours and telecommuting work options.
• Fresche strives to provide programs that put their employees first, further develop their strengths and help them reach their full potential.

Maria Anzini, Vice President of Talent Acquisition at Fresche, commented that it was an honor to be chosen by the program. “Being selected along with some of the greatest companies in Montreal is a thrill. We work hard to ensure that Fresche is a place where people love coming to work – a place where everyone can make a difference, not because of a job or a title, but because of who you are. Our passion for making our Customers smile grows out of how we run the business, how we all work together as employees  and our combined sense of pride. When you appreciate your employees, they like where they work, and they transmit their enthusiasm to Customers. We want this to be a place where people are happy to arrive in the morning.

We promote idea sharing and collaboration, and we hold regular weekly all-employee meetings where everyone has a chance to contribute. We’re always looking for ways to innovate; we know that growth is the key to employee satisfaction and we want to encourage it any way we can. We also pay attention to the small stuff: a big basket of fruit Monday morning, donuts on Friday, monthly birthday cakes and rooftop barbecues in summer. We work hard, we learn, we grow and we have fun.”

No matter where you are in your career, if you are still enthusiastic and still have something to prove, Fresche is a place where you can make a significant contribution – no matter your location. We have been chosen one of Montreal’s Top Employers, but our benefits and philosophy extend worldwide to all of our Fresche Legacy offices. Our diversified cultures around the world are a vital part of our success.
