Let’s discuss your group benefits needs

Lifestyle

What does it take to build a lifestyle-focused group benefits plan?

We believe it starts with a careful analysis of the health and well-being solutions that matter most to your employees. From there, it’s about designing a non-salary lifestyle group benefits package that enhances your team’s well-being in every way.

Corporate Wellbeing

These multifaceted programs take a longitudinal approach to corporate health and well-being. Mitigate risk, enhance employee engagement and retention and help your team live better. Some providers even act as your outsourced well-being consultant.

Behaviour Change

Our digitally enabled solutions help your employees make better decisions in their daily lives, while helping to promote positive behaviours. Address addiction challenges, improve work habits and help improve their wellness and workplace productivity.

Genetics

Using advanced DNA testing, we can unlock a world of information—from your probability of illness and disease and the variables that impact the way your body reacts to medications, to the foods that are best suited to your optimal dietary requirements.

Nutrition

Enable employees to make better nutritional choices with counselling and information sessions designed to educate and engage with easy-to-follow recommendations. Help improve their overall well-being with better-for-you food decisions.

Employee Assistance Programs (EAP)

Tailor your employee experience to suit the unique needs of your team. Our digital Employee Assistance Programs offer employees round-the-clock mental, physical and emotional health assistance, along with legal and financial support tools.

Spending Accounts

Enhance your traditional group benefits offering with a personalized spending account. Your employees will have access to health and wellness programs ranging from virtual fitness training and career development to pet insurance and financial advice.

Concierge Medicine

Medical procedure wait times can be lengthy across provincial health systems. Our concierge medicine programs are designed to help you navigate healthcare institutions and quickly access medically necessary diagnostic or medical treatment.

Remote Work

In a work-from-anywhere era, offering group benefits that appeal to remote workers is crucial to attracting and retaining top talent. Design a customized benefits package tailored to your remote employees’ physical and mental health and lifestyle priorities.

Lifestyle

Custom solutions designed to promote total wellness

Physical

It takes a healthy body to achieve wellness and productivity.

We’ve developed a slate of physical health and well-being solutions designed to help your team achieve their full workplace potential. Physical treatment options and preventative programs empower your people to work and feel better.

Virtual Doctors

Wait times are a thing of the past. Connect with a licensed Canadian doctor seven days a week. Request prescription renewals, ask medical questions or seek personalized medical advice and receive treatment for a range of health concerns.

Virtual Sports Medicine

When you play sports or exercise regularly, acute or chronic injuries are a near certainty over time. Arrange a virtual visit with a sports medicine professional for diagnoses, to arrange treatment and for information on rehabilitation regimens.

Biometric Screening

Use our biometric screening services to gain a full understanding of your personal health and monitor for potential changes in health status. Track a range of indicators to mitigate the risk of conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure.

Virtual Fitness

Get (or stay) in shape without ever hitting the gym. Our virtual fitness offerings deliver everything from one-on-one personal training to group classes. Fully certified personal trainers make essential workouts easy to follow, wherever you are.

Medical Second Opinion

Give your team access to a second opinion on medical diagnoses and treatment plans, delivered by a qualified specialist physician. It’s a benefit that delivers peace of mind and helps to reduce the chance of unnecessary treatments or surgeries.

Case Management

Ill, injured or disabled employees need assistance navigating the health system and developing a clear plan to return to work. Our case management offerings help enhance productivity and wellness, while reducing workplace absenteeism and disability costs.

Diagnostic Testing

Early detection is one of the most important tools to reduce the negative impacts or risk of death from a disease or illness. Our diagnostic testing services help to detect medical issues, improve prognosis and treatment timelines and define treatment protocols.

Physical

Promote complete physical well-being across your team

Mind

Protecting mental health takes the right suite of tools.

Our solutions empower your team to manage the stresses and strains of today’s increasingly fast-paced business environment. A combination of preventative practices and virtual treatment options are designed to optimize your team’s total wellness.

Virtual Counseling

Connect with a fully certified counsellor from anywhere. Whether facing an acute issue such as depression or personal trauma—or simply pursuing self-improvement—our counselling solutions deliver effective guidance through any of life’s situations.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

Talk therapy is an increasingly popular option to help individuals address mental health conditions or emotional challenges. Your team can harness the tools they need to adjust their behaviours and thoughts to perform better and live life to the fullest.

Mindfullness

Kids’ activities, work, family or social responsibilities—it’s easy to become overwhelmed by the increasing demands on our time. Our mindfulness solutions are designed to help your team take stock, reflect and embrace the many joys in life.

Meditation

Our guided meditation solutions offer your team an opportunity to step back and rebalance. It’s not only an effective tool to maintain mental health and total wellness, but to help employees achieve better workplace focus, productivity and creativity.

Breath Work

When faced with stressful situations, humans tend to breathe quickly. Doing so may aid our fight-or-flight response, but can compromise our ability to make rational decisions. Breath work helps individuals remain calm and focused, no matter the situation.

Mind

Protecting mental health takes the right suite of tools

Financial

Financial worries are a common distraction for employees.

Money concerns create uncertainty, negatively impact team productivity and can even derail workplace engagement. Our financial group benefits solutions offer your team effective tools to budget, save, spend thoughtfully and achieve their lifestyle goals.

RRSP

A group Registered Retirement Savings Plan is one of Canada’s most tax-effective tools to save for post-career expenses. Empower your team to save for the future with simplified payroll contributions, contribution matching options and more.

TFSA

Set up a group Tax-Free Savings Account for your employees, helping them build a nest egg with tax-free withdrawals. Set up contributions through payroll deductions, provide access to financial advisors and help your team save for future lifestyle expenses.

Deferred Profit Sharing Programs

These registered plans provide employees with a direct stake in your organization’s success through profit sharing. Determine vesting periods and allow employees to leverage tax incentives to build their personal wealth and save for the future.

Budgeting

Provide your team with the tools they need to make effective personal budgeting decisions. Our app-based solutions help to track cash flow, manage expenses, predict future expenditures and optimize decision-making to improve their financial wellness.

Financial

Financial security is a key to achieving wellness

Educational

What does it take to support personal and professional growth?

It requires a comprehensive group benefits offering that enables your team to further their education, build new skills and optimize their workplace performance. Our solutions offer your employees an opportunity to enhance their professional expertise.

Remote Learning

If your organization is like most, you need employees who can adapt to a rapidly shifting business environment and customer demands. Empower them to learn from anywhere with on-demand educational videos and expert-led classes.

Corporate Learning

With remote and hybrid work the new norm for many Canadian organizations, bringing employees together for corporate training sessions has become far more complex. Our virtual corporate training solutions are designed to simplify the process.

Caregiving

Work productivity suffers when employees are distracted.

One of the greatest personal financial and emotional stressors an employee can face is in managing the care of a loved one—from a disabled child to an elderly or ill parent. Our caregiving programs offer comprehensive support options.

Elder Care

Burnout, absenteeism and lost productivity are common when an employee is responsible for the care of an aging parent or loved one. Offer your team a range of flexible benefits from support groups to care subsidies to help ease the stress and burden of elder care.

Substance Abuse

Substance abuse not only impacts an employee’s ability to do their job, but can have a devastating effect on their personal life. Detect and address addictions—and help prevent setbacks—with substance abuse treatment and counselling programs.

Community Support Programs

Employees should never feel alone or without necessary resources to address their personal or professional challenges. Give your team access to online and in-person community support groups to help improve their physical, mental and emotional well-being.
