THE POWER OF ONE

This year’s GreenShield Cares Award winner, Emmanuelle Sansfaçon, Director, Sales Transformation, sat down with Zahid Salman, President and CEO, to discuss what motivates her to be a force for good in her community.
Zahid: Congratulations on your well-deserved win! The GreenShield Cares Award honours an employee who exemplifies our commitment to our mission and culture where purpose meets passion and performance. You won because you truly live and breathe our purpose through community involvement.
‍
Emmanuelle: Thank you! So many GreenShielders are living our values and mission of Better Health for All. I know it was tough competition. I’m very humbled. Like most GreenShielders, I joined the organization because of its mission, caring values and ability to deliver innovative solutions to the industry. Being recognized by colleagues I admire and who share the same values is probably the best award I could ever have wished for. 
‍
Zahid: The enthusiasm you bring to your community involvement carries over to your work, where you encourage your colleagues to look beyond traditional donations and focus on where GreenShield can make a difference. Why is it important for you to work with a purpose-driven company?
‍
Emmanuelle: My work and personal life are deeply connected, so it’s important that my work life be aligned with my personal values, which are highly purpose-driven. I'm passionate about building relationships that are meaningful, intentional and long-lasting. 
‍
Zahid: I know you spend your personal vacations each year at Camp Vol d'été Leucan-CSN, where children undergoing cancer treatments have a chance to create lasting memories. You’re also a mentor at Innovatank, and a board member of Unsinkable, an organization focused on mental health advocacy for youth and families through the power of storytelling. How does GreenShield support your volunteer activities?   
‍
Emmanuelle: GreenShield's employee giving program amplifies my charitable work by matching my donations and rewarding my volunteer time with additional dollars to donate. This year, I’ve been able to contribute an extra $5,550 to causes close to my heart. 
‍
Zahid: The GreenShield Cares Award winner receives $2,500 to invest in the charity of their choice. Have you decided where you’d like to donate?
‍
Emmanuelle: I chose to give to Unsinkable so its impact on the Quebec community can continue to grow. Last year, I had the opportunity to be part of a project hoping to bring greater visibility to local mental health organizations, where courageous individuals shared their journeys and the support they received.
‍
Zahid: That sounds wonderful. Congratulations again on your award win.
