A Time to Pause and Connect

Some days feel easy and full of energy, while others can feel a little heavier. What makes a “good day” looks different for everyone,  depending on where they are in life.

This May, Acrisure is taking a moment to slow down and focus on mental wellbeing, connection, and community. Inspired by the theme, More Good Days, Together, this month is a reminder that mental health matters and that no one has to face difficult days alone.

This month is about meeting each other where we are, showing compassion, and creating support that feels real and meaningful.

 

Sharon Walker- “It is not often in today’s world that we meet someone with such a high level of service-mindedness. Over the last three days Sharon has gone above and beyond what we would have expected as she assisted us with many concerns regarding our house insurance. Her knowledge of her many duties and her professionalism is exceptional. We were seriously contemplating changing insurance companies; to the point we had already contacted an agent in our area. Her willingness to work with us coupled with her friendly attitude convinced us that we would not be making any changes.

Having worked in the service industry as the director of a 911 center for over 25 years, I know what it means to get a good assessment of an employee. All too often do we hear from those that are less than happy, I hope you and your company realize how fortunate you are to have Sharon on your team. After all, our greatest assets are those great front-line people and Sharon certainly is extraordinary. ”

 

 

 

Black History Month is an opportunity to honor the trailblazers who transformed the insurance industry and to recognize the Black leaders shaping its future today. This article highlights historic milestones, modern leaders, and ways every colleague can engage.

Honoring Those Who Came Before Us
As a fintech company, we honor the Black trailblazers who helped shape this industry, often in the face of exclusion and systemic barriers. From early mutual aid societies to Black-owned insurers that modeled “neighbors helping neighbors,” their vision helped define what modern insurance carriers, brokers, and reinsurers, look like today.

Our organization stands on this foundation. The innovations, courage, and community focus of Black leaders past and present, have influenced how we think about risk, protection, and shared responsibility, and they continue to inform how we build products, serve clients, and show up in our communities.

Celebrating Contributions Then and Now
By celebrating the contributions of Black professionals in insurance, both the historic pioneers and the modern leaders moving the industry forward, we intentionally honor a legacy that has helped us build who we are as a company. Their insistence on access, fairness, and economic empowerment challenges us to keep evolving, to widen the path for all talent, with an awareness of Black talent, and to ensure that equity is embedded in the way we hire, promote, partner, and serve.

This Black History Month, Our Goal is Twofold:
To deepen awareness of the rich history of Black excellence in insurance that underpins our organization’s own growth and resilience.

To spark pride and belonging for Black colleagues and allies by affirming that their stories, leadership, and lived experiences are welcomed here, as they are integral to our past, present, and future success.

Truth and Reconciliation Day, observed on September 30th, is a vital occasion dedicated to honoring the survivors of Canadian residential schools, along with their families and communities. Often known as Orange Shirt Day, this day derives its significance from Phyllis Webstad’s story, where her new orange shirt was stripped away on her first day at a residential school. This national event calls for acknowledging the harrowing history and lasting impact of residential schools on Indigenous people. It encourages learning, reflection, and discussion aimed at fostering healing and understanding. By acknowledging this painful history, we can move toward reconciliation and a more inclusive future for all.

Wear orange to show support and honour the lost children and Survivors of residential schools.
