Surrey, BC/Territories of the Coast Salish (Kwantlen, Katzie, Semiahmoo, Tsawwassen First Nations), Nov. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Westland Insurance has been recognized as one of Insurance Business Canada’s (IBC) Top Insurance Employers for 2025, a distinction awarded based on direct employee feedback and organizational excellence across engagement, culture and inclusion.
This marks another milestone in Westland’s ongoing recognition by IBC, joining previous honours such as IBC 5-Star Brokerages (2021, 2023) and IBC Fast Brokerages (2023).
Rigorous two-step evaluation
IBC’s selection process combined an employer submission and an employee survey to assess organizations across 20 key areas, including compensation, career growth, flexibility, leadership, wellness, and inclusion. To qualify, companies were required to meet minimum survey response thresholds and achieve a satisfaction score of at least 75%.
Westland surpassed these benchmarks, receiving an average satisfaction score of 79%. The strongest area of performance (4.5/5) was ‘dedication to diversity and inclusion’.
Commitment to people and culture
