SPOTLIGHT ON BENEFITS

July 4, 2022

Wiegers Financial & Benefits was proud to sponsor the MCAS Ron Young Memorial Golf Tournament at Moon Lake on June 16th. The weather cooperated (proven by our sunburn) and we handed out 144 bags of chips to our fellow MCAS members. Matt & I are now famously known by the membership as the “Chip Guys” on the golf course. Congratulations to Steve Hall and the team at Boss Plumbing Ltd who won our prize draw at the tent.

A common theme we heard throughout the day is “if you know of any plumbers, send them our way”. It’s proven a comprehensive group benefits plan tailored to meet the diverse and unique needs of employees, such as the one offered by the MCAS, is critical to attract and retain top talent during this unprecedent “war for talent”. A recent 2021 Benefits Canada Healthcare Survey highlighted the following five reasons employers choose to offer benefits to their valued employees:

1. So employees are not placed under undue financial burden
2. Attract and retain employees
3. Keep employees healthy and productive
4. Provide peace of mind to employees
5. Provide coverage for routine medical needs

The MCAS Group Benefits Plan, available through Saskatchewan Blue Cross, provides employees and their families with access to routine medical needs such as massage, chiropractor, physiotherapy, eye exams, vision, prescription drugs, and dental coverage. It also protects against catastrophic claims such as life insurance, long-term disability, and out-of-country travel.

The MCAS Group Benefits plan is designed to provide employees and their families with industry leading benefits, so they don’t have to worry about life’s ups and downs. Unique to the MCAS, all member companies have the ability to customize a plan design to meet the diverse needs of their employees. The options are endless!
