Free, Members-Only Webinar

Canada’s senior care sector is facing a unique combination of workforce shortages, rising wages, economic uncertainty and increasing demand for services. At the same time, employee benefit plans are being pressured by growing drug costs, mental health-related disability claims, chronic disease and higher employee expectations.

This webinar will explore how these challenges are affecting benefit plans within the long-term care and senior living industry, and why simply reducing coverage may create greater costs through turnover, absenteeism, delayed treatment and longer disability claims.

Participants will learn how to identify the primary cost drivers within their benefit plans and apply practical strategies to improve sustainability without compromising employee support.
