Questrade uses cutting-edge technologies to develop innovative products that empower Canadians to take control of their money and, ultimately, become much more financially\u202fsuccessful and secure\u200b\u200b.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Questrade Financial Group (QFG) believes in infinite possibilities\u200b, \u200bnot only for their customers, but for their employees too. That belief is woven \u200binto\u200b\u200b \u200bevery element of the company\u2019s culture and brought to life through a deep commitment to creating a workplace where employees feel genuinely cared for, connected, and empowered to shape their futures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In August 2024, QFG took a major step in deepening that commitment with the launch of QuestStars, a comprehensive internal recognition platform powered by Workstars.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With QuestStars, QFG introduced a smarter, more transparent way to celebrate employee contributions &#8211; whether it\u2019s a milestone moment, a daily win, or an act of going above and beyond. QuestStars is not just a tool\u200b, \u200bit\u2019s a reflection of QFG\u2019s culture of appreciation, collaboration, and care.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This initiative reinforces a powerful message: recognition isn\u2019t an afterthought at QFG\u200b,\u200b\u200b \u200bit\u2019s embedded in the everyday\u200b work\u200b experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Values that guide, inspire, and attract\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today\u2019s top talent is increasingly driven by more than salary or title. Research from Deloitte and Gallup confirms what many organizations are now experiencing firsthand: employees\u200b\u200b are prioritizing workplace culture, alignment with values, and purpose-driven environments when choosing and staying in roles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u200b\u200b\u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallup.com\/workplace\/610856\/new-challenge-engaging-younger-workers.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A recent Gallup report shows that Millennial and Gen Z workers are more likely to stay with companies that share and reflect their personal and professional values.<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.deloitte.com\/global\/en\/about\/press-room\/deloitte-2024-gen-z-and-millennial-survey.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A 2024 Deloitte study reveals that 50% of Gen Zs and 43% of millennials have rejected assignments or potential employers based on their ethics or beliefs.<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>QFG anticipated this generational shift and built its employer brand around shared values. The company\u2019s IQTECH values of <strong>I<\/strong>nnovative, <strong>Q<\/strong>-Curious and Optimistic, <strong>T<\/strong>eam Oriented and Think Enterprise-wide<strong>, E<\/strong>ntrepreneurial and Agile <strong>C<\/strong>ustomer-Centric and<strong> H<\/strong>onest with Integrity, guide everything from day-to-day decision-making to long-term strategy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through QuestStars, those values aren\u2019t just talked about\u200b, they\u2019re \u200bactively celebrated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each time an employee is recognized for embodying a value, the culture is reinforced. It becomes easier for new hires to connect with what QFG stands for and for existing employees to see those values brought to life in real ways.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why recognition matters more than ever\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating a recognition-rich environment isn\u2019t just about boosting morale &#8211; it\u2019s a strategic investment in performance and retention. Studies show that:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u200b\u200b\u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallup.com\/workplace\/397058\/increasing-importance-best-friend-work.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Employees with friends at work are more engaged and productive (Gallup).<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stagwellglobal.com\/what-the-data-say-76-stick-with-a-company-because-of-workplace-friends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">76% of job seekers say they would stay longer at a company if they had strong friendships there (Stagwell Global).<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/stories\/2025\/04\/what-companies-can-do-to-improve-workplace-wellbeing-and-why-it-matters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Emotional support in the workplace reduces stress and burnout, boosting morale and collaboration (World Economic Forum).<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These findings reinforce why tools like QuestStars matter. In a hybrid work environment, where spontaneous hallway conversations and informal recognition moments are less frequent, structured platforms like Workstars help bridge that gap without \u200bsacrificing authenticity\u200b.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At QFG, QuestStars supports recognition at every level:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Peer-to-peer recognition<\/strong>: Empowering employees to appreciate one another\u2019s contributions, big and small.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Manager-to-employee recognition<\/strong>: Enabling leaders to reinforce high performance and effort in visible, motivating ways.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Team recognition:<\/strong> Allowing colleagues to celebrate collective success by building and recognizing teams using the platform\u2019s built-in hierarchical structure.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Service milestones and birthdays<\/strong>: Marking important career and life moments through thoughtful acknowledgements.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>QFG Annual Awards<\/strong>: Recognizing exceptional contributions aligned with QFG\u2019s IQTECH values through a transparent, engaging nomination process.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees can also redeem recognition points for gift cards, branded swag\u200b,\u200b or payroll transfers, turning moments of appreciation into meaningful rewards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A culture that cares\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What truly sets Questrade Financial Group apart isn\u2019t just its technology or benefits\u200b &#8211; \u200bit\u2019s the sense of belonging it creates. QuestStars has quickly become more than a recognition system. It\u2019s a window into a workplace where people genuinely support one another and take time to celebrate wins, both big and small.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>QFG\u2019s commitment to care and connection hasn\u2019t gone unnoticed. The company has consistently been named one of <a href=\"https:\/\/reviews.canadastop100.com\/top-employer-questrade?_gl=1*1uoot3y*_ga*MTg0MTk0NjQ1MS4xNjc4Mzg4NTIw*_ga_H481FDLVWD*MTc0NTg1MDE4NC41Mi4wLjE3NDU4NTAxODQuMC4wLjA.#gta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canada&#8217;s Top 100 Employers,<\/a> one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/news-release\/2024\/05\/14\/2881316\/0\/en\/Questrade-honoured-as-one-of-Canada-s-Best-Managed-Companies-for-13th-consecutive-year.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canada\u2019s Best Managed Companies for Over 10 Years (Platinum Status)<\/a>, and one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newswire.ca\/news-releases\/announcing-the-2024-canada-s-most-admired-corporate-cultures-tm-canada-s-most-admired-ceo-tm-and-canada-s-most-admired-cpco-tm-winners-814046985.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canada\u2019s Most Admired Corporate Cultures<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This recognition reflects a workplace where employees feel proud to be part of something larger than themselves. And it signals to candidates that QFG is not only a great place to work\u200b, \u200bbut a great place to belong.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Early wins and\u200b the data to back it up\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the platform\u2019s launch, QFG has already seen measurable improvements. In the company\u2019s most recent employee engagement survey, the &#8216;feedback &amp; recognition&#8217; factor score increased by five points compared to the previous year. This uplift reflects not just higher engagement, but a growing culture of gratitude.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recognition fuels morale and when people know their efforts are seen and valued, they feel more \u200bconnected to their work, their colleagues, and the organization as a whole.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond survey feedback, platform engagement tells a compelling story. With 87% of QFG\u2019s global workforce &#8211; spanning seven countries &#8211; now registered on QuestStars, recognition has become a daily norm. In the first six months after launch, over 85% of registered users were recognized through the platform, with a recognition given, on average, every 2.5 hours &#8211; often crossing team and department boundaries. With peer-to-peer kudos, milestone celebrations, and the addition of QFG\u2019s annual awards, recognition is now seamlessly woven into the everyday employee experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Amplifying the employer brand\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For QFG, building a strong employer brand is a strategic \u200bpriority and\u200b QuestStars plays a key role in that story. Recognition is now a visible part of QFG\u2019s culture, shared internally on the company intranet and newsletter\u200bs\u200b, and externally on platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This visibility sends a clear message to potential candidates: QFG is a place where you\u2019ll be appreciated, where you\u2019ll be celebrated, and where you\u2019ll grow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A message to future Questraders\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe believe in recognizing and celebrating the people who help us succeed every day,\u201d the company shared. \u201cAt QFG, recognition is more than a program &#8211; it\u2019s part of who we are.
