FINCAD Awarded as One of BC's Top Employers

Vancouver, BC - October 28, 2009

FINCAD, a trusted global provider of financial analytics, announced today that it has been recognized among the 2010 BC's Top Employers.

FINCAD was recognized for its dedication to creating an exceptional place to work by providing regular training and career development opportunities. The Company supports work-life balance by offering employees with free memberships to an onsite fitness facility and by being a vacation leader in Canada that offers new employees four weeks of paid vacation to start.

"We are honoured to be recognized as one of the 2010 BC's Top Employers. We are dedicated to nurturing a collaborative, safe and fulfilling work environment," said Nancy Petersen, CFO and Head of HR, FINCAD. "We appreciate our FINCAD team, who are an integral part of making a great place to work by contributing to our culture of sharing and learning and bringing their strong professional skills, diversity and dedication to FINCAD."

Winners of the BC's Top Employers competition were selected from applicants to the national Canada's Top 100 Employers competition. To develop this year's list, editors at Mediacorp Canada Inc. examined the recruitment histories of over 75,000 employers across Canada that it tracks for its popular job search site, Eluta.ca. From this initial group, Mediacorp editors invited 16,000 of the fastest-growing employers to apply, plus another 8,000 companies and organizations in industries that they wanted to examine more closely. Employers completed an extensive application process that included a detailed review of their operations and HR practices. Over 2,600 employers started this year's application process nationally. The final applicant pool was up 3.7% over last year's total, which was also a record.

Mediacorp editors graded each of the applicants on eight key areas: (1) Physical Workplace; (2) Work Atmosphere & Social; (3) Health, Financial & Family Benefits; (4) Vacation & Time Off; (5) Employee Communications; (6) Performance Management; (7) Training & Skills Development; and (8) Community Involvement. These criteria have remained consistent since the inception of the national competition, now in its 10th year.
