Our (True) Story
The story of Timber began, literally, in the trees and on the running trails of the local dog park in Edmonton. Timber’s co-founders Darcy and Susie were at a turning point in their lives. Having both run large, high-pressure companies in the past they were ready to pivot and create a purposeful and values-driven business model that does good and improves the lives of Canadians.
Like many people around them, they have also felt the impact of over-stressed workplaces and mental health challenges on staff and their own families.
Over countless runs, the same three questions kept them going:
- What if we could use employee benefits to help people stay healthy, not just for when they get sick?
- How can we use benefits as a way to help support staff’s mental health AND physical wellness?
- And most importantly, why hasn’t this industry changed to support the needs of a more modern workforce?
Timber Benefits was created to answer these very important questions.
As employer needs continue to evolve the Timber story will also grow and change as well.
We look forward to working alongside organizations to create healthy, happier workplaces.
How can we use benefits as a way to help support staff’s mental health AND physical wellness?
