Aviva Canada Inc, one of Canada’s leading property and casualty insurance groups, has been recognized by Waterstone Human Capital as having a culture that has helped to enhance its financial performance and sustain a competitive advantage. Awarded to only 10 organizations annually, this honour distinguishes Aviva as one of Canada’s most sought-after employers.
“At Aviva, we strive to create a dynamic environment where our employees are encouraged to continuously deliver higher value solutions to our customers and partners,” said Robin Spencer, president and CEO of Aviva Canada. “While being honoured with this award is fabulous recognition for Aviva as a company, it speaks volumes about the strength and dedication of our employees.”
Employing over 3,300 Canadians in 40 locations across the country, over the past two years the team at Aviva Canada has been on a mission to change insurance by demystifying auto, home and lifestyle coverage. Its Change Insurance website – www.changeinsurance.ca – provides Canadians with “straight answers” to questions they are too afraid to ask their insurance company for fear that their premiums will increase. The company also introduced a Claims Service Satisfaction Guarantee to ensure complete customer satisfaction through the claims process.
“We recognize that businesses don’t change, grow and mature into successful organizations on their own – people grow them,” Spencer continued. “Aviva has put significant energy and time into creating a great work environment where talented employees can thrive. We’re changing insurance through the strength of our people and this award proves that it is working.”
Aviva is also empowering Canadians to make changes in their communities through the Aviva Community Fund competition. Visit more than 1,300 ideas by Canadians from coast to coast at avivacommunityfund.org.
“Aviva’s commitment to their employees is at the heart of their culture,” says Marty Parker, the managing director of Waterstone Human Capital, an executive search and human capital consulting firm that has been running the Canada’s 10 program since 2005. “This is no small feat considering their employee base of 3,300 people in Canada. Clearly, Aviva is focused on creating a high performance organization that drives business results.”
