The award reflects both the organization’s diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) efforts and feedback gathered directly from employees through an independent survey conducted as part of the evaluation process.“Receiving this recognition for a fourth consecutive year is meaningful because it reflects the experiences and voices of our people,” said Keri Fraser, Chief People Officer at Westland Insurance. “Creating a workplace where everyone feels they belong is an ongoing commitment. This recognition belongs to our employees, whose feedback, participation, and support help shape our culture every day.”Westland’s DEIB strategy is guided by Amplify Belonging, the organization’s diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging framework, which focuses on embedding inclusion into how employees work, lead, and grow. The organization continues to invest in employee-led initiatives and programs that create opportunities for connection, learning, and development across the business. These include Employee Resource Groups, a mentorship program, and partnerships with organizations like the Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion, Pride at Work Canada, and MentorAbility.Canadian HR Reporter’s annual 5-Star DE&I Employer program recognizes organizations that demonstrate a strong commitment to creating equitable and inclusive workplaces. Winners are evaluated on the impact of their DE&I programs, policies, and practices, as well as employee feedback and organizational outcomes.“This recognition reflects what can happen when employees feel heard and empowered to contribute,” added Keri Fraser. “We’re committed to continuing this work, listening to our people, and creating an environment where everyone can grow their potential and feel a true sense of belonging.”This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.About Westland Insurance GroupWestland Insurance Group is one of the largest and fastest growing insurance brokers in Canada.
