Sun Peaks Resort and Sun Peaks Grand Hotel Earn 2026 Great Place To Work Certification™

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Certification is based on employee feedback

Sun Peaks, BC, February 6, 2026 – Sun Peaks Resort (SPR) is thrilled to announce that it has been Certified™ by Great Place To Work® for the second-year running. The prestigious designation is based entirely on what current employees say about their work experience. Sun Peaks Resort proudly owns and operates the Sun Peaks Grand Hotel (SPG), also included in this certification.

Great Place To Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviours proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention, and increased innovation.

"Great Place To Work Certification™ is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience," says Sarah Lewis-Kulin, the Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place To Work. She emphasizes that Certification is the sole official recognition earned by the real-time feedback of employees regarding their company culture. "By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that Sun Peaks Resort/Sun Peaks Grand Hotel stand out as a top company to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees."

According to Helen Davies, Chief People and Culture Officer at Sun Peaks Resort and Sun Peaks Grand Hotel, “Earning recognition last year was just the beginning of our journey. Certification confirmed that we were doing a good job, but the insights from the survey also highlighted where we had opportunities to improve. That feedback has been a key area of focus for us over the past 12 months. Recertification in 2026 reinforces that we are on the right track in co-creating a workplace and company culture our teams are proud to be part of. As a world-class tourism destination, we know our employees make a meaningful difference in delivering an exceptional guest experience, and we thank them for their dedication, passion, and honest feedback.”

At SPR and SPG, employee feedback plays a critical role in understanding what aspects of the workplace experience is working well, identifying areas for improvement, and supporting effective action planning. This feedback is gathered through formal channels, such as the Great Place to Work survey, as well as through more informal opportunities for employee dialogue.

One such forum is the employee-led Kaleidoscope Committee, now in its second year. The committee represents a diverse range of departments and demographics, bringing employee perspectives to the table and serving as a sounding board for leadership on new initiatives and ideas.

Recertification as a Great Place to Work™ provides an opportunity for the company to celebrate this achievement while also differentiating itself as a destination employer within the recreation and hospitality sector. At the same time, the leadership team remains committed to continuous improvement and to identifying opportunities that enable employees to perform at their best while further strengthening workplace culture at Sun Peaks Resort and Sun Peaks Grand Hotel.

The company employs nearly 250 permanent employees, along with more than 600 seasonal team members during the winter ski season and more than 250 seasonal team members during the summer bike, hike, and golf season.
