Group Retirement & Savings Plan
Group retirement and savings plans are the twin elements that can make a huge difference in recruiting high-performing employees. With access to a wide variety of group retirement and savings plans, we can create bespoke plans that are every bit as custom tailored to your business as they are your employees’ financial goals.
These plans include:
- Group registered retirement savings plans
- Deferred profit-sharing plans
- Defined contribution pension plans
- Non-registered savings programs
- Group TFSA
- Individual pension plans for executives
Group Categories
Each benefit program we design is unique and customized to the needs of your business and employees. We take a managed, balanced and personalized approach to building your group benefits plans to keep your team happy, healthy and hard-working.
Some of the components of a group plan could include:
- Life insurance for employees and dependents
- Accidental death and serious illness
- Critical illness
- Short and long-term disability
- Extended healthcare
- Drug benefits and catastrophic drug coverage
- Vision care and eyeglasses
- Out-of-country emergency
- Expat and foreign workers coverage
- Dental coverage
- Healthcare spending accounts
- Wellness Spending Accounts
Employees are less likely to leave employers that offer good benefit plans. And with a group retirement plan in place, they are more likely to retire at the right time, making room for new people.
