    ICBC employee Queena shares her experience working with the organization at its 50th anniversary celebration  
      After a lifetime of adapting to others, it never occurred to me that an employer would be willing to adapt to my needs. Throughout my decades-long working life, ICBC has been the first employer to allow me to work in a way that enables me to achieve my objectives. I’ve been able to thrive and grow in ways I once thought were impossible. Today, I encourage others to speak up and express what they need to reach their full potential. No disability — whether visible or invisible — should be a barrier to achieving personal or professional goals. I’m proud to be part of an organization who is committed to providing a diverse, equitable and inclusive work environment. Mike, senior business analyst – support and analytics
