Aujourd’hui, à l’occasion de la #Journéeinternationaledelacharité, nous nous rappelons l’importance de redonner à nos communautés. Que vous choisissiez de donner de votre temps ou de contribuer par l’entremise de dons, redonner est l’une des nombreuses façons dont l’#ÉquipeDefinity aide nos communautés à s’adapter et à s’épanouir. La culture d’effort communautaire continue de croître chez Definity. Voici quelques faits saillants de 2023, qui démontrent que l’#équipeDefinity a eu une incidence significative : ✅ Nous avons versé un total de 2 601 000 $ en dons de bienfaisance. Ce montant a été partagé entre des causes présentées par notre famille de marques comme Petline Insurance Company, qui continue de défendre les droits des animaux et qui a recommandé plus de 60 000 $ aux refuges pour animaux ainsi qu’aux SPCA à travers le pays et Sonnet Insurance Company qui a recommandé un don de 50 000 $ à SickKids Foundation en vue de créer des espaces pour sa patientèle et les familles à l’hôpital pour enfants malades. ✅ Un investissement communautaire de 1 191 000 $ a été versé à des initiatives liées à la diversité, l’inclusion et l’équité. ✅ Un investissement communautaire de 902 000 $ a été versé à des initiatives sur la résilience climatique et la préparation aux situations d’urgence. ✅ Les dons dirigés par les membres de l’équipe ont atteint un montant total de 135 000 $ versé à des organismes de bienfaisance, générant 62 000 $ supplémentaires grâce à notre programme de jumelage de dons. ✅ De plus, nos quatre groupes d’employés et d’employées (groupe axé sur la lutte contre le racisme et sur l’équité culturelle; groupe axé sur la communauté LGBTQ+; groupe d’influence au féminin; groupe axé sur les mesures environnementales et climatiques) ont chacun reçu 20 000 $ afin de verser un don à un organisme de bienfaisance œuvrant dans leur domaine. ✅ Plus de 4 500 heures de bénévolat ont été consignées et 900 journées de bénévolat payées ont été utilisées. De quelle façon redonnez-vous à la communauté? Dites-le-nous dans les commentaires ci-dessous!

Definity reposted this
I am finishing up my internship at Definity with a beautiful day of mini putt and lunch to celebrate our team's achievements so far this year and send a few of us off onto our next journey. This experience has been invaluable, and I am so grateful for the relationships I've built and the knowledge I've gained from this opportunity. I really tried to take advantage of the unlimited access I had to professionals during my internship by networking (chatting!) as much as I could. Based on the amount of people I bothered within the office I'll call it a success. Being a part of the Women's Empowerment Employee Group gave me the opportunity to host a speed-networking event at our Head Office with around 70 participants. The success we had at the event reiterates how important networking is at every point in our career. Thank you everyone - you know who you are!
