Pros

Many great people work here and the many products deliver real value.

Cons

GreenShield's motto is "Better Health for All" but I don't feel it extends to employees. First, there's an odd imbalance of below-average PTO and significantly above average mental health spending account dollars, as if an expensive weekly therapist is desired over more vacation. The mental health spending account increase was communicated along with a pitch on the wide range of mental health products our platform has, which felt extremely disingenuous. Second, the return to office policy and remote work changes were loosely communicated which left managers stuck in the middle and employees confused, and now enforcement is heading toward strict monitoring. Third, lately many top-class and well-liked employees including managers have either quit or been abruptly fired for speaking up. The lack of context communicated to employees is worrisome. These developments have created a culture of fear for myself and those I work closely with. HR feels like a spotlight to stay out of instead of a place to seek support from. While you can't knock an old-school company for operating as such, it's painful when the outward messaging is the opposite: "best company culture" awards, always inviting feedback, etc. The outward messaging of "Better Health for All" contrasts with what feels like an Amazon-style approach of treating employees purely like numbers - not what you might imagine working at a non-profit supporting health and wellbeing to feel like.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. At GreenShield, Better Health for All starts with our people, and we want to clarify how that commitment shows up every day. On PTO vs. Mental Health: Our Total Rewards program was designed to reflect our values and areas in which we specialize, with mental health as a key pillar. This includes coverage for employees and their dependents with no co-pay, ensuring broad access to care. PTO is competitive within our sector, and we regularly review both benefits based on data and employee input. On Remote Work: Our hybrid work model currently provides flexibility for the majority of roles to work remotely up to three days per week. This flexibility is important to us, particularly as many organizations have now reduced remote work to one or two days weekly, and others have eliminated it entirely. We remain focused on clear communication as we evolve and adapt to changing needs. On Culture and Terminations: Decisions are made thoughtfully, and we encourage employees to speak up. Feedback and transparency remain core to how we operate, and our leadership team is accessible. GreenShield invests in its employees – including our Total Rewards program, flexibility, and well-being - because we believe in our people. If you have constructive ideas, please share them directly or reach out to talent@greenshield.ca. Your input helps us continue to make GreenShield an even better place to work.
