For immediate release
Moncton, NB – Medavie Blue Cross is proud to be named one of Canada's 10 Most Admired Corporate Cultures of a national program presented by Waterstone Human Capital. This program recognizes Canadian companies for having a culture that has helped them enhance performance and sustain a competitive advantage.
This award, which is valid for three years, comes on the heels of our 2016 Canada’s Top 100 Employers award announcement earlier this month. We are one of only four Canadian companies to receive both awards this year.
“As a not-for-profit health care company, caring for our employees, our clients and our communities is core to who we are. It is an honour to receive this award for the third consecutive time. New to my role, I would like to thank our employees for their contributions,” said Eric Laberge, President of Medavie Blue Cross. “As we continually strive to enhance our corporate culture through the wellness, growth and development of our employees, the return on that investment is clear. Our ability to best serve our clients is tied directly to the engagement of our employees.”
“In our work at Waterstone, we partner with leaders of high-growth organizations to help them recruit for fit and provide counsel on human capital issues to drive performance,” said Marty Parker, President and Chief Executive Officer of Waterstone Human Capital and Chair of Canada’s 10 Most Admired Corporate Cultures™. “What’s so impressive about this diverse list of 2015 winners is their shared belief that culture is their competitive advantage – they know that building and sustaining a great culture is a significant asset that drives performance. The 2015 winning organizations have shown diverse strategies in achieving inspirational cultures that have measureable results. “
