Access Communications is One of Saskatchewan’s Top Employers For 2026

Regina, SK – Access Communications Co‑operative (Access) has been named one of Saskatchewan’s Top Employers by Mediacorp Canada.

At Access, that recognition reflects a workplace where people are encouraged to grow, bring new ideas, and take on meaningful challenges. Employees build long‑term careers in a Saskatchewan‑owned, not‑for‑profit co‑operative that values trust, collaboration, and real community impact. It’s a place where people do work they’re proud of and can see the difference it makes.

“Access is more than a service provider,” said Carmela Haines, President and CEO of Access Communications. “Our employees are part of a community owned co operative with a shared purpose. We invest in our people so they can grow, contribute, and see the impact of their work across Saskatchewan. That sense of purpose and belonging is what makes Access a great place to work.”

Access was selected as a Top Employer in Saskatchewan for the 15th year in a row.

“Private-sector employers in Saskatchewan have shown that responsiveness and adaptability can be powerful advantages,” adds Sonja Verpoort, assistant editor at Mediacorp. “This flexibility allows small businesses and private employers to pivot when necessary and act quickly on employee feedback.”

Access Communications was evaluated on eight criteria for Saskatchewan’s Top Employers, the same used for the national Canada Top 100 Employers competition:

(1) Workplace
(2) Work Atmosphere & Social
(3) Health, Financial & Family Benefits 
(4) Vacation & Time Off
(5) Employee Communications 
(6) Performance Management
(7) Training & Skills Development
(8) Community Involvement

The editors publish detailed ‘reasons for selection’ for these criteria, providing transparency in selecting winners and a catalogue of best practices for employers and jobseekers alike. You can view our assessment as a Top Employer HERE.  

Access has also been selected for The Career Directory, which recognizes being a top employer for recent graduates. The directory is a guide to entry-level recruitment for new college and university graduates. To learn more about a career at Access please visit: https://www.myaccess.ca/career
