The 2024 Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures, CEOs, and Chief People and Culture Officer (CPCO) Award winners were unveiled on Thursday, with some insurance companies and executives being recognized for their exemplary workplace cultures and leadership.
Among the awardees is Manulife, one of Canada’s most prominent insurance providers, recognized for its corporate culture in the Enterprise category. In the Growth category, Cowan Insurance Group also received recognition for its corporate culture.
Beyond corporate culture, the awards also highlighted outstanding leadership within the industry. Rashid Wasti, executive vice president and chief talent officer at Weston Group of Companies was named a winner in the CPCO category for Enterprise.
“These awards recognize the very best in high performance corporate culture—those leaders and organizations that have built and nurtured performance-driven cultures and that are at the forefront of culture best practices,” said Marty Parker, president and CEO of Waterstone Human Capital and chair of the Canada’s Most Admired™ program. “This year’s winners actively craft high-performance cultures and serve as an inspiration for others who want to do the same.”
