Next Level Games Inc. 2. **Cactus Restaurants Ltd.** 3. Microsoft Canada Development Centre 4. Odlum Brow Ltd. 5. Flight Centre North America 6. Integris Credit Union 7. **Coastal Pacific Xpress Inc.** 8. **Nurse Next Door Professional Home Healthcare Services Inc.** 9. **1-800-Got-Junk LLC** 10.

The one thing that stuck out during the awards: when Matt O’Grady, Editor of BCBusiness Magazine, was reading off random comments from employees of the winners was how much authenticity (I am who I am at work and at home) ran true.  Score 1 for the Facebook and Twitter generation. FYI:  ViRTUS is collaborating with [Mindfield Group](http://www.mindfieldgroup.com/) and BCBusiness to bring you the 2009 Best Companies to Work For in BC Survey and Awards.  Let me know if you want your company to be involved. ###### Related News Articles [leadership](https://blog.virtusinc.com/virtus-inc-leadership-journal/tag/leadership), [culture](https://blog.virtusinc.com/virtus-inc-leadership-journal/tag/culture), [corporate culture](https://blog.virtusinc.com/virtus-inc-leadership-journal/tag/corporate-culture), [behaviour change](https://blog.virtusinc.com/virtus-inc-leadership-journal/tag/behaviour-change), [goal planning](https://blog.virtusinc.com/virtus-inc-leadership-journal/tag/goal-planning), [best companies](https://blog.virtusinc.com/virtus-inc-leadership-journal/tag/best-companies), [economy](https://blog.virtusinc.com/virtus-inc-leadership-journal/tag/economy) #### [Flexible Work Options.
