The Leslie Group can help you find savings despite rising benefits costs.

Fall is here and Covid-19 cases are back on the rise with the fourth wave and the start of the new school year. Businesses are entering the traditional budget season and may be facing more challenges as we are seeing group insurance costs rising an average of 8-12% annually and many over 20%, applying further pressure to an already difficult situation. The Leslie Group is an independent employee benefits consulting firm that enjoys full access to the group benefits marketplace, with significant leverage to negotiate effectively with insurance companies to find immediate and sustainable savings. As a result, many clients of The Leslie Group are seeing a decrease in their group benefits costs, despite a current trend to the contrary. Our preferred employee benefit pricing reduces plan costs with no reduction to your current coverage, and our hightouch service model adds significant value for HR and Finance departments.

We take an entrepreneurial approach to program and product development with a view to providing innovative flexible benefit options and coverage your employees want today. The Leslie Group offers virtual healthcare options like GoToDoctor and preferred pharmacy discounts with Rexall and associated pharmacies with just a small implementation fee. We seek to provide and promote leading-edge coverage that maximizes the overall ROI for businesses. This may include access to mental health services or substance misuse support via virtual platforms such as Inkblot and ALAViDA, or customizable plans with options for more flexibility using Health Care Spending accounts through MyHSA at preferred pricing arrangements.

By significantly reducing the overhead costs built into the premium, The Leslie Group fixes the price problem resulting in sustainable long term savings. Employees are heavily favouring strong and comprehensive benefits plans that meet their needs and with 53% of Canadian workers rating strong benefits as their top factor in job decision making, It’s time to review your plan.
