Reflecting on the award, GLBC’s President Brad Tindall says, “Recognition amongst your peers is always rewarding and helps validate that we are moving forward on a path shared by many other successful organizations. In today’s environment, with low unemployment, everybody’s competing for the same candidate but if we can leverage our social programs, people can see that it’s just not a job – it’s a culture.”

Headquartered in Richmond, B.C., GLBC has established itself as a one source manufacturer for innovative and custom packaging and label solutions. Founded 37 years ago, the company is now comprised of a diverse workforce of 300 employees and growing.

GLBC’s unique approach to supporting and valuing their employees includes everything from wellness programs, and birthday’s off to a company wide goal that when reached takes all employees on a “BOX GOAL” trip.   It attracts great people and makes them want to stay – and invite others to join. Half of the company’s new hires are through referrals from within the company.

“GLBC’s success has always been attributed to the incredible employees we have on our team,” said Tindall. “At our core we believe a strong culture is critical to our success and we focus on being a very inclusive and family-oriented company where achieving work-life integration is possible.”
