Wawanesa Celebrates Brokers Who Go the Extra Mile
Your story could be awarded one of 10 donations of $10,000 for charity
WINNIPEG, MB - To celebrate Canadian brokers providing exceptional service in support of their customers and communities, the Wawanesa Mutual Insurance Company (Wawanesa) has launched a new country-wide program called Going the Extra Mile.
Going The Extra Mile extends an open invitation to brokers across the country to share their stories with Wawanesa that highlight situations where they delivered exceptional customer service or contributed to their communities in an impactful way. From these submissions, Wawanesa will select 10 brokerages to each direct a $10,000 donation to an eligible charity or non-profit organization of their choice.
“We know from long experience that brokers are hard-working community leaders committed to being there for their customers, especially in times of need,” said Selena Hinds, Wawanesa’s Vice President of Communications & Marketing. “With Going The Extra Mile, which grows out of Wawanesa’s own longstanding commitment to our communities, we want to recognize and proudly celebrate brokers who inspire us and represent our industry so well.”
Specifically, Wawanesa is looking for stories from brokers at their inspirational best, where the end-result or impact of their good work exceeded their client expectations or delivered meaningful community value. Here below are some considerations for brokers interested in making a submission to the program before the deadline of June 15:
- How did your expert advice and advocacy make a meaningful difference?
- How did your client or the community respond?
- Did your local perspective or knowledge help to deliver unparalleled service or ensure your client was protected against a major weather-related loss? What was the impact?
- Did you support your local community through a major natural disaster?
- What did you do to make a difference and why did you take those actions?
Brokers can visit www.wawanesa.com/extra-mile to share their most impactful stories and enter to become one of 10 brokerages across Canada recognized by Wawanesa for exceptional support and service or for commitment to building safer, healthier and more sustainable communities.
