Our Women+ Employee Group (EG) is a vibrant community that empowers women through mentorship, networking, and engaging dialogue. By sharing experiences, uplifting each other, and celebrating successes, we drive meaningful change and progress across Wawanesa.  To deliver on our goals toward equity, we’ve led annual pay equity assessments for the last several years—confirming no systemic pay gap when job level is considered, with women and men earning the same on average at Wawanesa. While we celebrate this progress, our commitment to inclusion goes beyond pay, shaping our hiring, career development, and leadership practices.
