Commitment to excellence is more than a core value at Cloud for Good. It’s a daily practice that shapes our interactions with clients and colleagues alike. We began 2025 by celebrating our 15-year anniversary, and now, we’re continuing that spirit of celebration, reflection, and pride with another meaningful milestone: our being recognized for an 11th consecutive year as a Great Place to Work in the U.S. and our 4th in Canada. These recognitions are a testament to how excellence begins within, which is reflected in our dedication to creating an environment where employees feel valued, empowered, and inspired to make a difference.
Highlights of Our Great Place to Work Ratings
Our Great Place to Work recognition is based on the ratings of our Goodies’ responses to the Great Place to Work annual survey. The survey centers around five key focus areas: Credibility, Respect, Fairness, Pride, and Camaraderie.
This year, 93% of our team said Cloud for Good is a great place to work—that’s the same strong rating we had in 2024, and well above the average of 60% at typical Canadian companies and 57% at typical U.S.-based companies. We also saw an increase in overall satisfaction across all survey questions in both the U.S. and Canada.
Here are a few other standout highlights:
- 98% of staff agreed with: “I feel good about the ways we contribute to the community”
- 98% also agreed: “People care about each other here”
- 97% said: “When you join the company, you are made to feel welcome”
- 95% rated: “Management is competent at running the business”
- In both the U.S. and Canada, our strongest subtheme was Justice, which reflects how well management promotes inclusive behavior, avoids discrimination, and supports fair appeals
- In the U.S., the next strongest subtheme was Intimacy, which measures how much people enjoy their colleagues, feel they can be themselves, and trust each other for support
- In Canada, the second strongest theme was Community, which is similar to Intimacy, reflecting a strong sense of camaraderie, team, and family
Excellence in Action: Purposeful Programs and Community Impact
At Cloud for Good, our commitment to excellence is evident in the way we design opportunities for connection, growth, and service, both inside and outside the organization. Programs like Goodies Give Back foster meaningful, sustained engagement with volunteering, while our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) offer inclusive spaces for employees to build community, elevate shared experiences, and support one another in authentic ways. Beyond our internal culture, Goodies regularly contribute to causes that matter to them, from supporting Canadian Blood Services to advocating for the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation. These efforts reflect a culture where excellence isn’t just a value, but a mindset: one that guides how we show up for each other, and how we strive to make a difference in the world around us.
A Culture of Listening: Iterating on Feedback
Excellence isn’t just about setting a high bar; it’s about continuously improving. At Cloud for Good, we’re proud of how we respond to feedback: not as a one-time exercise, but as an ongoing commitment to refinement. Whether it’s through employee surveys such as the one needed for Great Place to Work certification, which we use to gather insights and evolve our practices, or through the ongoing updates we make to our team structures and programming, we’re constantly asking how we can make our employee experience even better. This culture of listening and iterating ensures that we don’t just maintain high standards but continually raise them. It also ensures that we continue to be a company where people feel heard, valued, and part of something bigger.
Empowering Our People: Leading with Authenticity and Elevating Voices
Excellence is also about bringing our whole selves to work. At Cloud for Good, excellence thrives when we lift up the voices of our employees and encourage them to be authentic and lead with their unique perspectives. Whether it’s participating in industry conferences, sharing personal stories, or advocating for causes they care about, our employees are empowered to be leaders both inside and outside the company. Our IGNITE Diversity and Inclusion speaker series also offers a platform for team members to share about their experiences and passions. By creating opportunities and a space where authenticity is valued, we foster a culture where excellence is not just expected but celebrated in all its forms. This commitment to authenticity and inclusion is essential to the way we operate, and it is reflected in the trust and respect we cultivate among our team members. It is also reflected in our employees’ resulting work; when our people feel empowered to be themselves, they are inspired to do their best work—a form of excellence that, in turn, benefits our clients and the broader community.
A Culture of Recognition and Growth
Excellence isn’t only about what we do; it’s about how we honor the contributions of everyone on the team and support their ongoing growth. At Cloud for Good, we celebrate success—not just when we hit milestones like our Great Place to Work certification, but every day by creating opportunities to recognize and reward our employees for their hard work and achievements. Whether it’s through the in-person Goodie Summit or internal awards programs, to personalized recognitions of work anniversaries and achievements, we make sure that every individual is seen and celebrated.
Collaboration at Its Best: Strength Through Teamwork
Cloud for Good’s dedication to excellence is also built on collaboration. We understand that strong teamwork is essential for delivering exceptional experiences. That’s why we ensure that programs and initiatives are coordinated well across all our teams, whether it’s Service Delivery, or Marketing. This cohesive, collaborative approach not only strengthens our internal culture but also ensures we deliver consistent, high-quality results for our clients. When we all work toward the same goals, excellence is a natural outcome.
Trust and Transparency: The Foundation of Our Culture
Finally, Cloud for Good’s commitment to excellence is rooted in another one of our Core Values, trust. The high satisfaction Great Place to Work ratings reflect that employees consistently cite transparency and responsiveness as two of the company’s standout qualities. This foundation of trust ensures that we can work together toward a common goal, knowing that our voices are heard and our contributions matter.
Building on Excellence
Our commitment to Excellence is more than just a phrase; it’s a living, breathing part of everything we do. By continuing to elevate our people, listening and adapting, collaborating, and creating experiences that resonate, we remain dedicated to not only being a great place to work but also a company that continually strives for something more.
As we celebrate our 2025 Great Place to Work certifications, we look back on everything that has brought us to this point — and we look forward to all that lies ahead.
