praise for Marketplace Care is heard from many companies , who have first-hand experience of the benefits .
“ Life matters when you are heard . This is what we experience at Columbia Cabinets , with the help and support of Marketplace Care Canada ,” Bud ( Reinhard ) Loewen ( Owner ).
The addition of Cashco Financial in 2014 and their dozens of locations , allowed Marketplace Care Canada to hire its first full-time employee , Seeon Smith . He provides on-site leadership for the growing work in Canada . Smith , who is based in Edmonton , said he felt a calling to help others in the workplace and felt Marketplace Care Canada was the best way to accomplish it . One of his major roles is finding and hiring new care team members .
“ When I am looking for a team member , I look for individuals who have significant relational life experiences , coupled with a Christ-transforming faith ,” Smith said . “ If they have pastoral or counseling experience , this is a bonus . Most of the people we interact with don ’ t care about our faith or our credentials . They just want to know if they can trust us with the matters pertaining to their lives .”
Companies who have formed a “ partnership of caring ” with Marketplace Care Canada and Marketplace Chaplains USA ( the largest North American chaplaincy provider ) have found that there is increased productivity , retention , attendance , safety and teamwork with greater personal value among their employees .
More important are the hundreds of lives impacted in Canadian companies from border to border , as shown by these personal testimonies from those who have been involved with Marketplace Care Canada .
“ A care team member was asked to follow-up with an employee who took ill at a site location . Upon following up at the site location , it was discovered that several employees were visibly shaken at the thought that a fellow co-worker almost died on the worksite .”

Columbia Cabinets is one of many Canadian companies which uses our services .
Report from a Cashco location : “ The care team member visited with the employee while in hospital . This visit was welcomed by the employee , but it was also a shock to the family members . They said , ‘ We have never heard of an employer providing a service like this for their employees .”
“ I ’ m thankful for the opportunity to listen to people and encourage others to keep forging onward when things are tough ,” another care team member reported .
The chance to help and minister in the workplace and outside the walls of a company is a unique partnership between visionary Canadian company CEOs and Marketplace Care Canada . “ We continue to explore new methods to expand across Canada and are encouraged with recent new company additions and opportunities ,” reported Maclin .
