Customized Benefits Plans

01

Customized Benefits Plans

We understand that every business is unique. Unlike off-the-shelf small business group benefits packages and health plans in Saskatchewan, our advisors work closely with business owners to tailor coverage based on:

  • Employee needs and group demographics
  • Budget and benefit dollar allocation
  • Occupation
  • Annual Earnings (Base Salary, Commissions, Bonuses & Dividends)
  • Industry-specific risks
Predictable Renewal Premiums

02

Predictable Renewal Premiums

One of the biggest challenges for small businesses is dealing with fluctuating benefits costs at the time of renewal. We analyze historical claims data and industry trends to provide stable renewal rates. We believe in being proactive and offering our clients claims experience reports on a semi-annual or quarterly basis (depending on the group size), so they can make changes to their plan design on a timely basis and not at the time of the renewal, when it is too late.

Data-Driven Advisory for Smarter Decision-Making

  • Risk mitigation strategies to lower long-term costs
  • Access to expert insights on cost-saving measures and employee wellness initiatives.

Benefits Plans: Why do We Need them?


Benefits for your employees play a crucial role in attracting and retaining top talent. Offering comprehensive benefits plans can increase employee satisfaction and loyalty, making it more likely for them to stay with your company long-term. In a competitive job market, having a strong benefits package can be a key differentiator for your organization. Why You Need Health Benefit?

Help Protect Your Employees and Their Families Health

Financial security is essential for employees’ peace of mind and overall well-being. By providing robust benefits plans, employers can help alleviate financial stress related to unexpected medical expenses or retirement savings. This support enables employees to focus on their work, knowing they have a safety net in place for themselves and their families.

Help Reduce Financial Stress if Something Happens

Employer-sponsored health plans often offer more extensive coverage options and networks compared to individual plans. They can also provide tax advantages for both employers and employees, making them a cost-effective solution. Additionally, these plans often include wellness programs that promote healthier lifestyles, contributing to a more productive and engaged workforce.

Employees can get coverage at a lower cost than most personal plans.

This is because group benefits plans in Alberta pool together the risk across many individuals, allowing insurance providers to offer lower premiums. Additionally, administrative costs are spread over a larger group, further reducing expenses for each member. As a result, employees can access the same level of coverage at a cheaper rate than purchasing individual insurance policies.

If you had a life-changing accident or were diagnosed with a critical illness tomorrow, would you and your family be able to cope? Ten years ago, Janet Freedman was rushing out the door of her home for work. Her arms loaded with tax returns, she missed a step on the stairs on her front porch and fell, hitting her head on the concrete. When her neighbours found her, she was barely conscious, with her head trapped between her own front steps and those of the house next door.
