Derek W. Dobson, CEO and Plan Manager, announces CAAT’s new podcast.
My favourite part about working at the CAAT Pension Plan is speaking to – and learning from – top Canadian leaders across the country, every day.
From various sectors, industries, and across all sizes and job functions, I hear about the challenges leaders and their organizations face and the opportunities they bring to Canada. The meaningful change they are committed to providing to their employees, our economy, our country, is admirable and something I pride in at the CAAT Plan, too.
The idea of building today to secure a better and brighter future for tomorrow is the very reason we created our podcast, Contributors. At CAAT, we’re Contributors to one of Canada’s fastest-growing defined benefit pension plans, welcoming thousands of participating members and numerous employers interested in a better future. We understand the value of contributing today for a long-term benefit.
Experts agree Canada is a global leader in pension funds – building prosperity for Canadians. But the stories behind this prosperity are much bigger than us. We hear inspiring stories about collective solutions every day. On Contributors, we’ll showcase some of those stories.
Our hosts Marnie Niemi Hood and Russell Evans will sit down with leaders across the country to learn how they’re making meaningful impacts for a better future. These organizations are prospering today by prioritizing more than just the bottom line – they are breaking ground by also considering the wellbeing of their people, our economy, our country.
On Contributors, we will celebrate how great our country can become when the right tools and resources are available and dive deeper into how companies are closing gaps in Canada, like private capital and workplace wellbeing. We’ll explore how hot button topics in areas like infrastructure and technology allow Canadian employers to do well, while also doing good.
Contributors is a podcast for and by Canadian leaders. I hope you’ll join us as we learn how organizations make strategic decisions every day to secure Canada's better and brighter future. You’ll walk away with tangible actions on how to improve your business or life in the workplace and learn what’s in store for Canadians and our economy – including other valuable lessons and insights. If you’re excited about a better and brighter future for us all, you’ll want to tune in on Wednesdays, bi-weekly (starting on October 13th).
You can listen to the Contributors trailer here. (And, if you're interested in learning more about Modern defined benefit pension solutions at CAAT, you can get in touch with me anytime).
