Vena earns its second formal honor as one of Canada’s leading culture-driven companies, thanks to its people-first mindset and values-led leadership
Toronto, ON – November 20, 2025 – Vena, the only AI-powered planning platform built for the Microsoft technology ecosystem, today announced it has been named one of Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures™ for 2025 by Waterstone Human Capital.
Building on its 2022 win and subsequent recertifications in 2023 and 2024, this achievement marks Vena’s second formal recognition among Canada’s top organizations for outstanding corporate culture. This latest recognition reflects Vena’s ongoing commitment to building a high-performance culture that champions diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB). Vena's culture is one that grows alongside its people and customers and continues to set a benchmark for workplace excellence.
“Being recognized, again, as one of Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures is incredibly meaningful to us,” said Tracey Mikita, Chief People Person at Vena. “It reaffirms that the culture we are building together—one grounded in our CORE values of Customer Trust, One Team, Respect & Authenticity and Execution Excellence—continues to resonate and create an environment where people feel supported, valued and inspired to do their best work. This recognition reflects the everyday actions of our team and our commitment to a people-first culture.”
The annual award evaluates organizations on leadership, engagement and cultural alignment. Vena’s recognition highlights the impact of its supportive, collaborative workplace and underscores how a strong culture drives performance, innovation and long-term growth. This cultural momentum has contributed to several major milestones in 2025, including reaching the 2000th customer mark, being named “Best in Class” in the 2025 Dresner Wisdom of Crowds® Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) Market Study, securing 60 leadership badges in G2’s Summer and Fall 2025 reports, being recognized as a top Complete Planning platform in three new Buyers Guides from ISG® and receiving its sixth consecutive TrustRadius Tech Cares Award.
Vena’s culture is sustained through intentional practices that reinforce transparency, development and inclusion at every level. The company’s leadership development programs, AI learning enablement, DEIB initiatives and eight employee-led Vena Resource Groups (VRGs) ensure employees feel supported, heard and empowered to grow.
“We’re proud of this recognition because it reflects the way our people show up for each other every day,” added Mikita. “When trust, collaboration and continuous learning guide how we work, the outcomes follow—for our team, our customers and our community.”
