WHO WE ARE
When it comes to health, we’re always looking for ways to push for better. It’s why we were founded in the first place. In 1957, our founder, pharmacist William Wilkinson, witnessed a mother sacrifice her health by forgoing her own medicine to pay for her sick daughter’s prescription. He knew there had to be a better way. So, he introduced North America’s first prepaid drug plan, and GreenShield was born as a not-for-profit with a mission to support better health for all Canadians.

We aren’t just a health and benefits company. We’re the only not-for-profit social enterprise that brings worlds of coverage and care together, all in one place. We’re noble challengers, purposefully building a better way and we need the best people to help us create a more holistic approach that takes care of the mind and body.
 
Our mission is to create better health for all Canadians, and we know that starts with our employees. 

As a part of Greenshield group of companies, Greenshield Administration provides innovative health benefit solutions for the small-mid size companies in Canada. Recognized as the leading alternative to the traditional insurance companies, in a market where small and mid-sized employers have been largely underserved Greenshield Administration sets itself apart from the competition, by using technology, creative product development and a stellar customer experience to solve problems for employers. Honeybee Benefits is our next generation benefits platform built for today’s modern workforce that empowers employers to compete better for talent.
