Mednow Awarded 2022 Best Workplace™ – Start-ups

Mednow was awarded 2022 Best Workplace^™ – Start-ups following continued investments in its talent and personnel. Mednow continues to work towards establishing operations across Canada in 2022.

TORONTO, ON –/COMMUNITYWIRE/– Mednow Inc. (“Mednow” or the “Company”) (TSXV: MNOW), Canada’s on-demand virtual pharmacy, is pleased to announce that the Company has been recognized as a 2022 Best Workplace^TM – Start-ups. To be eligible for this list, an organization must be “Great Place to Work – Certified” in the past year, self-identify as a Start-up, have been in business less than 10 years and have not yet reached the scale-up phase. There are several key metrics that are assessed before being awarded this recognition including culture, diversity, compensation, and benefits, in addition to in-depth employee surveys.

Being a Great Place to Work – Certified, Mednow prioritizes fostering a healthy culture, which Mednow believes can result in financial advantages for the Company. Mednow believes its ability to attract, retain and utilize its talent results in higher-quality ideas and faster implementation of such ideas. This inclusivity and increased responsiveness are important to the Company’s development strategy and, Mednow believes, results in increased trust, higher retention rates, increased brand recognition and actionable insight, all which the Company believes contribute to continued revenue growth.

Since the Company’s initial public offering in March 2021, Mednow has grown its employee base by more than 3 times to an approximate total of 60 employees and expanded into three provinces. Mednow continues to work towards delivering its services across Canada in 2022 and implementing multiple technological platforms to provide a user-friendly website and proprietary application.

“The global pandemic has shifted the job market, including the traditional demands of employees who historically value primarily job security and compensation,” said Diandra Forde, Head of People and Culture at Mednow. “The ‘Great Resignation’ has seen a shift in the expectations of employees to include feeling valued within a company, a sense of belonging and contribution amongst trusted colleagues, the potential to grow with the company, and most recently, have the flexibility to balance work with their personal lives. The ability of Mednow to grow and attract top talent over the past year is reflective of Mednow’s core values, putting people first and innovating with purpose, which aligns with Mednow’s talent.”

Mednow’s people-centric approach to business starts with its employees and branches out through its vision and mission. By providing access to healthcare to Canadians through its fully owned and operated digital pharmacies and ancillary services, Mednow intends to redefine pharmacy’s role in holistic care, providing patients with the tools to live a healthier life.
