2024 Impact Awards winner: Conagra Brands Canada

It’s no easy feat for a company to relocate their office without major disruptions for employees, but Conagra Brands managed to do it seamlessly by ensuring everyone was well informed about the move through a new office committee. 

In March 2024, the company welcomed staff to its new digs, located minutes away from Toronto Pearson Airport. 

Employees were welcomed into a bright, modern space with areas for collaboration, state-of-the-art technology and privacy pods for making calls. 

They also had ergonomic chairs and sit-to-stand desks available at each workstation. 

Before staff arrived, every effort was made to keep them up to date about the move through meetings, an ambassadors’ program to address questions and a comprehensive guide to the new office with details on everything from parking to the cafeteria. 

Activities launched in the first week in the new office helped create an inviting atmosphere, including a catered hot lunch for employees and a welcome breakfast. 

The Canadian leadership team gifted each employee a swag bag with items like branded tumblers and new keyboards. 

The initiatives were well worth it. Feedback from employees was overwhelmingly positive. Looking ahead, the company is exploring ways to share the office space with their families and kids.
