Change is a constant

Over the past two years, work from home (WFH) has become the new norm. Everyone is settled into their home offices, spending extra time with their pets, and taking midday naps... we mean lunch breaks... yeah... lunch breaks.

Now that we’re eyeing a return to a “new normal”, what’s going to happen?

Well, as you may have heard from your employer, read in the news, or remembered from your dream, working from home, at least some of the time, is probably the new norm. It’s amazing to see the drastic change in just a short amount of time. More importantly, it’s imperative to realize just how fast and how constant change is in the workplace.

What does WFH have to do with change?

Aside from the obvious – that your employees may be working from home – this switch also reflects that times are changing and people are expecting more from their employers. Today, more than ever, workers are looking for flexibility, workplace satisfaction, and above all – increased focus on their mental health. To understand the importance of supporting your team's priorities, check out our article!

This change of priorities is nothing to ignore.

We are living through what some are calling The Great Resignation. Long-term loyalty is a thing of the past and workers are leaving for opportunities elsewhere if their current culture doesn’t fit their priorities. This has created an increasingly competitive market for employers looking to hire and retain people. The businesses that refuse to adapt are being left in the dust.

Stand out from the crowd

Providing your team with as much flexibility as possible is one of the strongest ways to differentiate yourself as a business. Whether that takes the form of a flexible schedule, time off, or even benefits, it shows your employees that you’re putting their needs and wellbeing first.

Do you think changing your benefits is daunting and difficult? We’re here to tell you it doesn’t have to be!

With a Health Spending Account (HSA), it's all about simplicity. You as the employer contribute funds to the account, your team submits claims, and your benefits provider (ahem... obviously us) takes care of the rest. Not only is it simple to grasp and switch over, but it provides your team with the freedom to spend their hard-earned compensation where they want it.

Worried this frantic pace of change will leave your benefits plan in the dust? An HSA’s flexible nature means you won’t have to change your benefits to cover the next big thing in health. As long as an expense is eligible for the CRA Medical Expense Tax Credit the HSA will cover it. This allows you to stay ahead of any trends and ensure your employees are always taken care of.
