In a recent article on Virtual Care, The Star reached out to Benefits Alliance Chair, Graham Young to add his perspective as a Benefits Advisor.
“This is no diferent really than health benet programs in general in that
employers have been supporting employees’ drug needs, massage therapy and
physiotherapy and all these things to try to make sure their team is healthy and
productive and at work,” said Graham Young, director of employee benets for
CAPCORP, an independent nancial services rm that advises employers on how
to set up and manage employee benets and savings programs.
“Especially when the majority of Canada businesses are small businesses, when you
take one person out of the equation for the day (to sit in an ER), that’s challenging,”
added Young, who is also chair of the board of Benets Alliance, an association of
independent benets advisory rms whose members collectively work with more
than 13,000 employer plan sponsors.
