  • Our flexible health and wellness spending account can help you take care of unplanned expenses, offering additional health and financial protection.
  • Retirement security through our pension plans can help protect your future.
  • Employer-paid sick leave and long-term disability plans provide you with income protection.
  • Life and accident insurance will ensure your family is protected financially.

Our culture

Our people work hard, every day, at jobs that make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. More than just a collegial atmosphere, working here fosters a sense of family and belonging. And we have fun getting to know each other outside the office too. Here are a few examples:

  • We show off our sportsmanship every year as we participate in both Edmonton and Calgary's Corporate Challenge.
  • Our Quarter Century Club holds an annual dinner to celebrate those who have worked with WCB for 25 years or more.
  • Membership in our staff social club means discounts on tickets to sporting events, movie passes and local attractions.
