Strengthen your organization with a powerful suite of well-managed benefits. Offer the support your workforce needs through health benefits such as healthcare spending accounts and employee assistance programs, wellness programs, virtual care, and support for your expatriates.
A reputation as an employer who provides its employees with a robust benefits package gives you the opportunity to build trust even before an employee is hired. We can help you make the most of that opportunity, supporting you as you negotiate benefits contracts through our relationships with respected insurance carriers.
A comprehensive benefits package can include a lot of ancillary services. Whether it’s an HSA, a wellness program or an EAP, we’ll work with you to understand your organization’s needs. To us, it’s all about learning and putting your needs first. From there, we’ll work together to craft a benefits package that will serve your employees and their dependants.
Even with high-quality benefits, understanding the program and employee engagement can be a major difficulty. We can help you navigate these hurdles and give your workforce the context necessary to appreciate and take advantage of your offerings.
If you’re ready to build a benefits program that engages employees and elevates your business, you’re in the right place.
Healthcare Spending Accounts
An employee benefits plan can’t be all things to all people, but a healthcare spending account can help. Simply put, a healthcare spending account (HSA) is for healthcare costs not covered by your organization’s regular benefits plan. While traditional plans provide coverage for benefits at a cost that’s always subject to change, HSAs allow employers to provide coverage for a broader range of medical expenses and contain the funding costs.
It also gives employees the extra flexibility to spend their healthcare dollars on the care they need, giving employees with HSAs a greater sense of control over their healthcare decisions. This improves employee morale, and could help attract and retain high calibre employees, leading to a lower turnover rate.
Why Add an HSA?
Many companies have broader demographics making up their workforce. This presents a diversity of health benefits needs in the workplace that require innovative solutions. Implementing an HSA can offer cost-effective benefits solutions that provide real value to a workforce with diverse needs. If you’re ready to build a benefits program that offers your employees more choice and greater access to quality care, think about adding an HSA to your benefits package.
Employee Assistance Programs
Give your employees the means to make their emotional and mental well-being a priority. An employee assistance program (EAP) should be part of any robust wellness plan. Most think of an EAP as a counselling service, but it’s much more than that. An EAP gives employees the resources they need to manage difficult situations that impact their lives on a day-to-day basis.
Employee assistance programs have been around for decades, but with decreasing stigma surrounding mental health, a greater focus on employee well-being and a more tech literate workforce, EAPs are increasingly impactful.
Why an Employee Assistance Program?
Introducing an EAP into your benefits package is one of the first steps to attracting and retaining top performing talent. An EAP is likely to help you reduce absenteeism and help keep your workforce engaged and productive. A well-managed employee assistance program can help employees confront and deal with:
- Personal or emotional problems
- Marriage and family difficulties
- Stress, anxiety and depression
- Addiction
If you’re ready to create a benefits program that offers your employees more choice and greater access to quality care, think about adding an EAP to your benefits package.
Wellness Programs
Beyond EAPs, wellness programs give employers and opportunity to empower their employees to become the best version of themselves. Your employees and leadership are central to our process. We start with conversations and research about your wellness program needs, coming to understand your company’s culture, mission, vision and demographics. We want to know what aspects of well-being and wellness your employees care most about. Then, we’ll build a road map for an effective, evidence-based wellness program.
Beyond physical well-being solutions, we’re also poised to help you put together programs and find tools for financial well-being. Tools to promote financial wellness like planning support can make a real difference, lowering stress and increasing job satisfaction.

Virtual Health and Telemedicine
As the healthcare industry continues to rapidly evolve, organizations are always looking to increase their employees’ access to quality care while also decreasing costs. Thankfully, the advancements of digital technology have made it easier for medical professionals to communicate with their patients. Patients can now see their preferred provider anytime thanks to live video, audio and instant messaging.
- Cost savings: Digital care improves efficiency by reducing travel time to care, minimizing or shortening hospital stays, and potentially automating administrative tasks. All of these in turn lower healthcare costs.
- Quality of care: Telemedicine makes it easier for providers to follow-up with patients, as well as to monitor patients remotely and respond to queries when called upon.
- Easier access: Consistent patient engagement comes from virtual care’s ease of access. It makes it easier for primary care doctors to get in touch with specialists to better serve and care for their patients. This creates a stronger doctor-patient relationship and empowers patients to become their own advocates.
