Benefits for your Employees?

Can you afford not to offer any longer?

Everyone knows how difficult it has become to hire and keep good employees and this has only gotten worse post-pandemic. Many small business owners are wondering whether it’s possible to have an employee benefits plan that fits the needs of both employers (who need to carefully watch their bottom line) and employees (who need effective coverage). HortProtect Insurance is designed to meet the specialized needs of professionals and operators within the Canadian horticulture industry.

Let’s look at how to create a plan that makes you, your employees and your accountant, happy:

1. Research creates new knowledge

Start by finding out what your employees need: just ask them! Then your broker can help you look into what your options are from benefit providers, discuss your expectations and your budget. HortProtect offers support to help you understand how employee benefits work, and what’s available to you and your employees.

2. Good communication is the bridge between confusion and clarity

Define your goals and discuss them with your broker. They are experts in their field, can identify important ways to adjust and refine your coverage, and will help you find the right solution for your company and your employees.

3. The secret to getting ahead is getting started

Start slowly to avoid being overwhelmed by options. Starter plans should be straight-forward and easy to set up.
