The MediDirect® team is here to change the way health benefits are offered and administered. We all have experienced the frustration of management being somewhat handcuffed in what benefits can be offered and not receiving the benefits the employees want. We are here to provide the benefits employees want in the most cost-effective manner.

MAST Award 2005
MediDirect® Inc. was awarded one of several MAST Awards in 2005. MAST is an acronym for management and staff transformation, with the MAST Award using the same acronym for Management And Staff Team Award. More than that, it names a bold initiative aimed at establishing Calgary as an international model for generating business success through synergism. The MAST philosophy begins with the premise that the best companies are those able to articulate the vision of the CEO across the counter at the employee to customer level. Staff enthusiasm is the strongest lever to corporate success. This is the core of the MAST philosophy.
