Webcom Limited First Canadian Company to be Named Best Workplace in America

TORONTO, CANADA, February 2005 - Webcom Limited of Toronto, Ontario has been awarded the designation Best Workplace in America 2004 for their exemplary corporate and people practices. This year marks the fifth year of the Best Workplace in America program initiated by PIA / GATF to specifically honour printing companies that provide a superior work environment. Webcom Limited is the first Canadian company to receive such an honour since the program's inception. PIA/GATF is the world's largest graphic arts trade association representing an industry with more than 1.2 million employees.

A panel of highly respected U. S. and Canadian HR professionals with decades of experience in the graphic arts industry reviewed the submissions. Applicants were judged on eight criteria: Management Practices; Work Environment; Training and Development Opportunities; Financial Security; Work-Life Balance; Recognition and Rewards; Health and Wellness Programs; and Workplace Health and Safety. All of the winning companies actively show their employees that the company cares about their work environment, their personal goals and ambitions, as well as the needs of the company.

"It's a tremendous honour to receive such recognition by the industry. We have always believed our differentiation factor is our people," said Jeff Wilkins, President of Webcom Limited. Michael Makin, President and CEO of PIA/GATF, agrees. "Best Workplace in America winners routinely recognize that success is generated in many ways, and importantly, through their employees. Congratulations to Webcom."

Webcom has distinguished itself in many ways over the past 28 years in its relationship with employees, empowering individuals to make responsible decisions and formally recognizing dedicated service.
