Several firms have joined the People Corporation family recently, which provides an opportunity to share with you what we’re working on and why we’re so proud of having these firms join us. In each case, there is a strong underpinning of strategic rationale, cultural alignment, and operational logic.
Our company’s vision is to deliver a comprehensive suite of products and solutions, aimed at the health, wealth, insurance, and human resource needs of our clients. We’re building a digital-first, end-to-end platform that makes our solutions easy to use, accessible, and cost effective. And we’re bringing all of this to market with the country’s best advisors.
The firms that have joined People Corporation represent exactly the kind of partners we want to be in business with. For example, our coast-to-coast consulting expertise has grown stronger with the addition of Granville West Group Benefits’ Joe Lopes, Brian Ganden, and Patrick Chen. At the other end of the country, we’ve welcomed Mark Kenny and Andrew MacDonald of Southport Benefit Solutions. From a depth and breadth of solution offering perspective, Dr. Liz Scott and her team at Organizational Solutions Inc. significantly enhance our disability management solutions. And these are just a few examples.
When we meet with firms considering joining a larger organization, the first thing we look for is cultural alignment – companies that understand not just what we do, but why we believe so firmly in a holistic approach to the needs of clients. Our partners are successful, know the industry inside out, and share our passion for client service.
Together, we take a carefully balanced, collaborative approach. We’re committed to effectively welcoming these teams to the People Corporation family in a manner that maintains each firm’s unique success factors. Leaders remain in place and client relationships are respected.
Our value proposition is anchored on trusted advisors. Each new partnership brings additional industry experience and expertise onto our team. Once a part of People Corporation, these insightful professionals have access to the resources of our highly collaborative, deeply resourced organization. Their team members have opportunities to advance in their careers. And, where appropriate, leaders are able to put effective succession planning in place.
We’re proud of our leadership position. People Corporation is the largest Canadian-focused provider of group benefits consulting, third-party administration (TPA) and managing general agent (MGA) services. We have a growing suite of highly complementary continuum-of-care, health, wealth, HR, and insurance solutions. For the third consecutive year, we were named to Canada’s Top Growing Companies of 2023 by The Globe and Mail.
We continue to make significant progress on our executing our strategy. And we consider ourselves fortunate to have so many industry-leading professionals joining us. You can expect to hear more announcements from us in the weeks and months ahead as we add more expertise and capabilities to our team. Stay tuned.
