VALCOURT, Que. – Independent telecom provider Cooptel announced Wednesday it recently obtained a certification of “Remarkable Employer”, a program managed by a standards organization known as the Bureau de normalisation du Québec (BNQ), the province’s central body for standardization and certification.

“For many years, Cooptel has invested much effort to offer its employees an enjoyable work environment, personal vs. workplace time reconciliation, various social activities and excellent work conditions,” the company said in a release.

“As this certification is in fact confirmed by the employees through an anonymous survey mechanism to judge management practices, our employees have unanimously concurred that it is indeed an enjoyable experience to work in our cooperative.”

Based in Valcourt, Quebec, but with operations in other regions in the province, Cooptel is a telecommunications provider and a SILEC (small incumbent local exchange carrier), offering triple play services to its consumer and business clients, primarily using fiber-to-the-home technology. It’s a member of the ITPA and of the CCSA and celebrates its 75th anniversary as a co-operative in 2019.
