CWB National Leasing rewards employees who Take A Stand

By: CWB National Leasing

WINNIPEG, August 18, 2016 – CWB National Leasing launched a new employee engagement program yesterday to reward and inspire employees who lead, volunteer, fundraise and promote wellness and physical activity.

The program, Take A Stand, is a double entendre for taking a stand in the community through charitable initiatives and taking a stand (literally) to keep active and well.  

“CWB National Leasing employees are passionate about community, always volunteering or fundraising for different charitable causes,” says Tom Pundyk, President & CEO, CWB National Leasing. “Also, sports and other forms of activity or wellness have been ingrained in our corporate culture since the beginning. Take A Stand perfectly encompasses this culture of giving back and keeping well.”

The new program gives employees the chance to earn matching dollars for fundraising campaigns, donations toward organizations where they volunteer, special bonuses for leading charitable or fitness activities and contributions toward employee sports teams.

“We’re already very community-oriented, and we have lots of opportunities to keep active through employee sports teams or our on-site gym, but Take A Stand celebrates our grassroots efforts to organize these activities,” says Candice Stokman, Payroll & Benefits Coordinator, CWB National Leasing.

Candice coordinates CWB National Leasing’s cross country ski team, which earned her the title of Take A Stand Champion. Other Champions are excited about the new program, too.  

“It’s really neat to see CWB National Leasing integrate our community activities with employee wellness, because doing good for our communities plays a significant part in our own well-being – social, emotional and physical,” says Tracy Walld, Human Resource Administrator, CWB National Leasing.
