“The PPQ constitutes the highest distinction awarded annually by the Government of Quebec to private companies and public organizations which apply the best management practices. They are awarded based on a world-class evaluation model,” explains the Ministry of Economy and Innovation in a press release.
Established in 1998, these Awards are presented jointly by the government of Quebec and the Mouvement québécois de la Qualité.
They are coupled with an organizational measurement tool, indicates the City of Trois-Rivières. “This recognition results from a complete analysis carried out by a neutral expert team and is based on an internationally recognized measurement index. Thus, in addition to being a prestigious public recognition, the Québec Performance Awards allow the City to obtain a complete organizational diagnosis and an overall external vision of its management.” This information will allow it to improve various internal processes, she adds.
The companies Locweld and blackcircles.ca, both located in Montérégie, received the PPQ Trophy and a Grande Mention respectively. Four companies saw their work rewarded with a Mention: Direct Impact Solutions (Laval), Evnia, eco-tax consulting firm (Laurentides), Yourbarfactory (Montérégie) and Axia Services (Montreal). Finally, in addition to the City of Trois-Rivières, Médyx (Lanaudière) received a regional distinction.
