YES! WINNIPEG 15 Corporate Headquarters Winnipeg, Manitoba Business Focus Wealth management, life and health insurance, financial security advice Operating Earnings (2017) $1.3 trillion assets under administration Corporate Leadership Paul Mahon, President and Chief Executive Officer Phone, where Great-West Life helped underwrite the costs for their pioneering nation-wide crisis texting service. This service allows children and teens to text with a trained crisis responder 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A five- month pilot in Manitoba for the Kids Help Phone texting service was launched earlier this year. Another example of the company's commitment to mental health is the Great-West Life Centre for Mental Health in the Workplace. The Centre provides practical tools and resources to help Canadian employers with the prevention, intervention, and management of workplace mental health issues – free of charge. Being a strong Winnipeg community partner is part of Great-West Life's mandate. The company is the presenting sponsor of Canada Day at The Forks until 2020, and contributed over $1 million to United Way Winnipeg in 2017 thanks to a generous employee campaign and corporate contribution. Recently, they were honoured for the 19th consecutive year with the Thanks a Million Award at United Way's Annual General Meeting, which is awarded to organizations whose head office is in Winnipeg and whose employees have raised over $1 million. Great-West Life continues to be one of the two companies in Manitoba to earn this prestigious honour. A commitment to sustainability is also a core belief of Great-West Life, rounding out their triple-bottom line philosophy. The organization constantly reviews its operations to find efficiencies and 'green' options to limit its environmental impact – as evidenced by their Winnipeg head office's BOMA Manitoba Earth Award designation for exceptional environmental management practices. Winnipeg has always been a cornerstone for Great-West Life, and for the thousands of employees that build their careers at the company's headquarter offices. Their commitment to caring is instilled in their employees as well, by encouraging employees to volunteer for causes they support. Building on its record of financial success, Great-West Life continues to be a leader and champion in the financial services industry, and in Winnipeg. As the company continues to grow into new industries and markets, it will always remember its local roots and history as the place where it all began.
