Thanks for sharing your feedback. Our recruitment process has been developed with the intention to hire the right person, in the right role, at the right time, where decisions are made based on an alignment to the requirements identified in the job posting. If you have ambitions beyond your current role, please discuss those goals with your leader to create a development plan, and input those goals into STRIVE in the section devoted to long term growth. We encourage open and transparent dialogue with your leader or members of the HR team, and seeking feedback in instances where you have questions/concerns. We want all employees to feel supported. The regular conversations that happen with your leader serve as an opportunity to discuss career goals and growth, as well as the alignment to or curiosity in other areas in our business. Please reach out to your leader or a member of your local HR team if you have any questions about your career growth or hiring practices in your next one on one.

Pros

GreenShield is one of the few organizations where purpose genuinely drives decision-making. The mission of improving health outcomes and advancing Better Health for All is woven into the culture, not simply used in marketing materials. The people are highly collaborative, values-driven, and committed to making a meaningful impact on Canadians' health and well-being. Leadership encourages innovation, continuous learning, and employee growth while fostering an environment where diverse perspectives are welcomed. One of GreenShield’s greatest strengths is its People and Culture team. The HR function operates as a true strategic partner to the business while maintaining a deep commitment to employee experience and well-being. The team is progressive, caring, and focused on creating an environment where people can do their best work. From leadership development and talent programs to wellness initiatives and culture-building efforts, the People and Culture team consistently demonstrates what modern, purpose-driven HR should look like. The organization is also undergoing an exciting transformation, creating opportunities to shape strategy, influence change, and contribute to work that has a measurable social impact. Employees are encouraged to give back to their communities, and there is a strong emphasis on wellness, flexibility, and supporting the whole person.

Cons

As with any organization navigating significant growth and transformation, priorities can evolve quickly, which can occasionally create ambiguity or require teams to adapt at a rapid pace.
