Odlum Brown
Odlum Brown is two years away from celebrating its 100th anniversary, but the Vancouver investment firm with about $13 billion in client assets and five other offices across B.C. hasn't stopped trying to innovate.
Last year, Odlum Brown presented its Total Rewards strategy to its team of 300. The four-component plan integrates compensation, work environment, learning opportunities and benefits. “We looked at it from the
position of the work environment and your growth and development,” says Barbara Bahry, vice- president and director, organizational development.
“Then there's the traditional health care benefits, but also things that support employees well in terms of mental, physical, financial, environmental,” Bahry adds. That means everything from mental health coverage to holistic nutrition. Says VP Deena Magtoto, director of marketing: “The culture for us at the firm is such that everybody feels a part of something.”
