Beyond Technologies made it to the 2024 List of Best Workplaces™ for Today’s Youth

Beyond Technologies, a Syntax company, proudly announces its recognition as an exemplary workplace for the youth, reinforcing its commitment to providing an inclusive and supportive environment to introduce them into the workforce.

Our company received this distinction following an in-depth, independent analysis conducted by Great Place to Work®. This nomination is based on direct feedback from employees regarding Beyond’s practices for providing a healthy, psychologically and emotionally beneficial workplace but also a culture audit led by them. 

Being recognized as a great place to work for today’s youth is a testament to Beyond Technologies’ dedication to fostering a dynamic, supportive, and inclusive work environment in which young professionals can thrive, grow, and contribute meaningfully to our organization.

– Lisa Bolduc, VP Global People Operations & Social Impact for Syntax  (previously Vice-President, Talent & Culture at Beyond Technologies)

This acknowledgment comes as Beyond Technologies continues its mission to attract, nurture, and retain top talent, creating a workplace that aligns with the aspirations and expectations of today’s dynamic youth while preparing tomorrow’s workforce.

An innovative bootcamp program 

A key contributor to this recognition is Beyond’s Bootcamp Program, tailored specifically for new graduates from recognized universities. This immersive initiative spans several weeks, offering comprehensive and tactical training alongside mentorship from seasoned SAP professionals. The program ensures a seamless integration into the workforce, fostering a collaborative atmosphere.

Strong career development opportunities

Beyond Technologies stands out by prioritizing the career development of its employees. The company provides abundant opportunities for professional growth, empowering individuals to reach their full potential while learning new skills set outside of their comfort zones. This commitment is underlined by continuous learning initiatives, different career paths and mentorship programs, providing a solid foundation for long-term success.

Inclusive social events and activities

In addition to career-focused initiatives, Beyond understands the importance of a balanced work-life dynamic and the thirst of our youth to be engaged socially. Monthly social events, inclusive sports teams, and various recreational activities create a vibrant and enjoyable workplace culture. These opportunities not only promote team bonding but also reflect Beyond’s commitment to nurturing a positive and engaging atmosphere.

It is rare that your first job provides you with a smooth transition from university life into your professional career, and to me, that is precisely what the bootcamp provided.

Beyond’s 12-week bootcamp provided us with the foundational SAP knowledge, giving us the tools we needed to succeed moving forward. We were supported by multiple trainers, some who had undergone the Bootcamp experience themselves. It helps that you are placed in a class setting, with other bootcampers who are going through the same experience. It allowed us to create bonds and friendships and fostered teamwork with peers who we would later collaborate with on client projects. I found a sense of comfort knowing that I was not alone nor going to get thrown into the SAP world with little to no training. The bootcamp is structured in a way  that you get the chance to explore the different  modules and to pinpoint your preferences.The content is thoughtfully paced, with a mix of theory and practical allowing you to absorb the concepts effectively. By the end of the bootcamp, it was surprising to see how much we had all learnt!.  All this to say, the bootcamp was a seamless transition into the corporate world and one of the many ways that Beyond invests in their employees!

Choosing your first company upon graduation can surely be a challenging decision to make! Beyond Technologies has been by far the greatest and most gratifying choice I’ve made to debut my professional HR career without a doubt. From being personally mentored as of my first day with care to operating directly on the recruitment field internationally is a source of growth that I keep on experiencing and learn from every day. Actually, the learning never stops; it keeps climbing up. I’ve had the privilege to have access to new certifications such as become a Certified Predictive Index Analyst (CPIA) and Chartered Professional in Human Resources (CPHR), the opportunity to travel internationally and recruit young graduating students (Morocco!!), attending University career fairs and meeting new talent for our Bootcamp program, working with the latest technologies and internal applications, this has been all part of my journey at Beyond (side note : even winning hockey tickets!). The more I grew into my position, the more I wished to expand myself and try new activities: hop into Beyond’s soccer team & social committee. At this time, witnessing Beyond Technologies as a Best Workplace for Today’s Youth embodies what I have come across these past two years and attests the supportive environment that it yields to young professionals. So, thank YOU Beyond!
