Ceridan: Leading Human Resources Firm Prospers in Canada

Headquartered in the United States, parent company Ceridian has nearly 8,000 employees worldwide and posted global revenues of $1.6 billion in fiscal 2008.

In addition, Canada’s public healthcare system helps companies compete successfully.
