Toronto-based corporate training provider CultureAlly has been named No. 41 on The Globe and Mail's 2026 list of Canada's Top Growing Companies, a ranking that underscores the escalating demand for workplace learning focused on soft skills and leadership development. The recognition follows a 719% revenue increase from 2022 to 2025, according to the company, which also placed No. 2 in the Educational Services category.
Founded in 2021, CultureAlly has worked with more than 1,000 organizations and reached over 100,000 learners across the United States, Canada and internationally through corporate training, eLearning and leadership development. The company detailed the ranking in a CultureAlly blog post.
"Seeing CultureAlly at No. 41 is a pretty incredible moment for us," said Ashley Kelly, founder and CEO of CultureAlly. "We started this company five years ago, and I'm proud of the team whose hard work brought us here. What excites me now is how much more we can do with the organizations that trust us. Stronger workplace cultures help people do their best work, and that shows up in how a business performs. That's the kind of impact we want to keep growing."
The company's growth trajectory reflects a broader shift in how employers invest in their workforces. Clients that initially engaged CultureAlly for a single training need have returned with new challenges, leading to longer relationships and expanded work across workplace communication, leadership and soft skills development. That pattern suggests companies are moving beyond one-off training sessions toward sustained partnerships that embed learning into their operations.
"Each of these organizations has shown an extraordinary ability to adapt, innovate and grow amid ongoing change," said Andrew Saunders, president and CEO of The Globe and Mail.
The complete 2026 ranking and editorial coverage are published in the October issue of Report on Business magazine and online.
The implications extend beyond a single company's success. CultureAlly's ranking signals that the corporate training market, particularly for soft skills and leadership development, is expanding rapidly as organizations seek to improve communication, retention and performance. For an economy characterized by ongoing change, the ability to develop adaptable, well-communicating teams may prove as critical as technological investment.
