iA Financial Group announced Aug. 3 that its vision for its post-pandemic workplace will be based on a hybrid and flexible model combining both remote work and work from the office.

The insurer says this approach will enable the majority of its more than 8,000 employees to choose where to work on a daily basis.

iA adds that “flexibility is now key in retaining and attracting talent and delivering solid performance,”so it will not be imposing a mandatory number of days in the office. 

"Despite the pandemic, we continued to deliver strong results and value to all our stakeholders," explains Denis Ricard, President and CEO of iA Financial Group. "Our employees have consistently demonstrated performance, commitment, and agility. They have been able to take full advantage of the benefits of remote working. This is why we are moving enthusiastically and confidently towards a hybrid model with undeniable efficiency." 

The insurer adds that office spaces will be redesigned to provide a more stimulating employee experience in the workplace, and it will deploy new technology and develop various tools essential to this transformation, which will begin by the end of 2021.
