Cambridge, ON | November 22, 2024 – Cowan Insurance Group, a leading Canadian-owned and operated independent insurance brokerage and consulting firm, is proud to announce its recognition as one of Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures™ for 2024.
Proudly one of Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures since 2015, this milestone achievement marks Cowan Insurance Group’s fourth consecutive win and our official entry into the program's Hall of Fame. The designation is awarded every three years, and induction into the Hall of Fame is a prestigious designation given to an elite group of organizations that have won the award four times.
“This recognition reflects our commitment to creating a culture that empowers our employees and inspires them to provide innovative solutions for our clients,” said Martin Brodigan, Co-CEO of Cowan Insurance Group. “Being inducted into the Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures Hall of Fame is a testament to our team’s passion, dedication, and collaborative spirit.

“Our culture is our greatest asset and a key driver of our success,” added Brodigan. “This recognition inspires us to continue building on our legacy of excellence and adaptability in an ever-changing industry.”
Presented annually by Waterstone Human Capital, the Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures™ program celebrates organizations whose workplace cultures drive exceptional performance and foster lasting employee and client relationships.
Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures program vets organizations through a rigorous application process and celebrates Canadian organizations that proactively work to create inspiring, high-performance corporate cultures. “These awards recognize the very best in corporate culture—those leaders and organizations that have built and nurtured performance-driven cultures and are at the forefront of culture best practices,” says Marty Parker, President and CEO of Waterstone Human Capital and Chair of the Canada’s Most Admired™ program. “This year’s winners actively craft high-performance cultures and serve as an inspiration for others who want to do the same.” “On behalf of Waterstone Human Capital and our partners, congratulations to the 2024 award winners,” says Parker. “We look forward to celebrating their success and the impact culture is having on their growth and performance.”
The Hall of Fame induction further solidifies Cowan Insurance Group’s position as a leader in shaping workplace culture across Canada.
