Across the country and beyond, attracting and retaining staff is a challenge for many organizations. The good news is that many now understand the importance of taking action to help their employees optimize their overall wellness, namely their mental, physical and financial health. Indeed, a person who feels good will generally be more productive and will develop a greater attachment to their organization.

As a benefits partner, iA Financial Group actively supports the efforts of group plan administrators and sponsors in this regard. We are currently running a mental health campaign to inform and educate our clients about the range of services we offer, including:

• Health risk assessment questionnaire – a means of promoting plan member awareness and action with respect to concerns such as stress management, work environment, lifestyle, etc.
• Stay Healthy at Work^TM – a proactive program to prevent disability by targeting issues such as stress, depression and anxiety.
• Internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy (TCCi) – a self-help approach with interactive tools and meditation and mindfulness exercises.
• Employee and family assistance program (EFAP) – professional support for professional, financial or personal difficulties.
• Mental Health+ – self-care tools and guided therapies designed to both prevent disability and optimize recovery.

For more details on this campaign and our mental health service offering, visit our Total Wellness page, and watch the video on the Mental Health tab.

We also invite you to discover a user-friendly tool designed to raise awareness among plan members. In the form of five easy-to-read fact sheets, this tool highlights key topics such as stress management, work-life balance and the impact of physical activity, sleep and nutrition on mental health.
