We’ve developed this playbook to help employers better understand how group benefits fit into their organization’s overall inclusivity strategy. It’ll provide insights on how to broaden your workplace benefits to meet your company’s inclusivity needs.
We know that benefits plans can be more inclusive. In partnership with Ipsos, Sun Life conducted a survey that found1:
- 30% of diverse Canadians somewhat or strongly disagree that their benefits plan is addressing their unique needs.
- Those in the 2SLGBTQ+, Indigenous, and Persons with Disabilities communities are the least satisfied with their benefits plan.
We’ve developed new solutions to:
- help you broaden your group benefits offering
- identify opportunities for improvement based on the unique needs of your plan member population.
Support workplace inclusivity, get started with these 3 steps
1. Opportunities and objectives
Understanding your employee population, their needs, communication of benefits and costs.
2. Products and solutions
Overview of benefit offerings and solutions that can support a broad range of communities.
3. Communication
Continuous review of employee needs and how benefit plan updates will be required.
