How to Buy Employee Group Benefits
Employee benefits are an important part of your staff’s financial security and an investment in your company’s success. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, or you already have benefits but are considering a switch, there are some important aspects to think about when weighing the pros and cons of employee group benefits.
PREMIUM STABILITY | Most benefit plans are experience rated, which means that premiums are based on your company’s individual claims. But if you only have a few employees, and they have large claims, your rates could rise dramatically To help keep your premiums more stable from year to year, look for a plan that pools its claims, where premiums are based on the average of claims across all participants, spreading the risk.
GUARANTEES | Look for a plan with the fewest exclusions and the most assurances, like guaranteed renewable coverage or benefits that don’t require medical questionnaires. This makes your coverage more valuable in the long term.
ADDITIONAL SERVICES | Choose a plan that offers additional services and benefits Look for online utilities for employees that can reduce your employer costs and administration efforts or health supports like second medical opinions for specific health issues and access to health and wellness tools and resources
COVERAGE | A Plan should offer a wide range of coverage options and benefits. Most programs can provide your employees comprehensive coverage, but does the plan design have features to keep your costs under control? Also, your employees are as unique as your business Does the plan give employees flexibility to get the most from their coverage? Are there health and wellness resources to help your employees make informed decisions and keep them healthy and productive?
LONGEVITY | Make sure the plan you choose is a good fit for today and for the future Always select a supplier with a broad range of coverage options that can evolve with your needs A qualified advisor from a reputable plan will have access to cost-control tools, and can help you plan for the future while addressing your current needs.

10 things you should know about Chambers Plan Employee Benefits
NO MINIMUM FIRM SIZE | Your company is eligible to apply even if it’s a one-person operation Chambers Plan was designed specifically to protect small businesses, from home-based businesses to growing companies (up to 50 employees). Best of all, Chambers Plan can grow and evolve with the needs of your company
NO INDUSTRY RESTRICTIONS | We believe your areas of expertise shouldn’t determine your coverage. All for-profit businesses that are members of a participating Chamber of Commerce or Board of Trade are eligible Based on the specific needs of your business and employees, we have a plan that’s right for you.
GUARANTEED APPROVAL | There are no health questions or medical exams separating you from a benefits program. Even if you are a company of one or two people, you’re eligible for the Plan. Organizations with three or more employees can choose extensive dental coverage, and those of ten or more can add orthodontics Chambers Plan can provide the coverage you need at a cost you can afford.

GUARANTEED RENEWABLE | Chambers Plan guarantees your firm can renew coverage as long as you pay your premium and maintain your Chamber membership. It’s just another reason why Chambers Plan is different.
RATE STABILITY | When your claims are bundled together with thousands of similar firms, premiums stay manageable and predictable. Unlike most carriers, Chambers Plan utilizes a partial pooling concept on health and dental benefits Small fluctuations in a firm’s claims do not automatically factor into the rates, giving firms greater rate stability over the long term.
NOT-FOR-PROFIT | Chambers Plan operates under the direction of the not-for-profit Chambers of Commerce Insurance Corporation of Canada, volunteer directors who are also Chamber members Keeping your interests front and centre, ALL surpluses are reinvested in the Plan to help control premiums. That’s why 850 Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade across Canada actively endorse Chambers Plan.
