It has been announced the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority is among the 2016 “Best Casinos to Work for” in North America.
The ranking was conferred by the Casino Journal, which ranked SIGA fourth on a list of the top five casino organizations who competed across North America. It was also the only Canadian casino organization that was recognized, according to a SIGA news release.
The Best Casinos to Work for was unveiled and profiled in a supplement of Casino Journal, published in January 2016.
According to SIGA’s news release, participation in the process meant SIGA’s employees had to go through an assessment process that included surveying employees and taking an inventory of company benefits, policies and offerings. Also, SIGA received a summarized analysis of the engagement and satisfaction of their employees.
The Gold Eagle Casino in North Battleford is one of SIGA’s casinos across Saskatchewan.
“SIGA is very proud of this accomplishment,” said President and CEO Zane Hansen in a news release.
“Since starting in the 1990s, we have grown SIGA into an employee compliment of about 1,900 people, making SIGA the largest First Nations employer in Canada – over 1,300 of our employees identify as First Nations. We continue to improve as an organization, and we are proud of our employees; they are contributing on a grand scale to the communities where they live, work and play.”
“We are very proud of our employees at our casinos and corporate office,” said Shauna Bear, V.P. Human Resources. “SIGA is always exploring new ways to develop and enhance our workplace. We actively look for and value feedback from our employees. It helps us to improve the working environment, and we strive to provide the resources needed to encourage their professional success. We work hard at ensuring our workplace is the best so that we can attract and retain top talent to better serve our customers.”
