Our values
Guiding Principles for Meaningful Impact
At TWINN, our values shape everything we do. Through collaboration, integrity, and innovation, we deliver strategic solutions that help businesses thrive and employees succeed.
Group Benefits
Group benefit plans empower businesses to attract and retain top talent while optimizing costs. Our tailored solutions ensure employees feel valued with competitive, flexible benefits that align with your company’s goals. With expert guidance and strategic planning, we help you build a stronger, more engaged workforce.
Customized Plan Design
We begin with a thorough analysis of your company’s needs and financials to create a benefits plan tailored to your goals. Our experts assess your current plan, determine the appropriate pricing, and help you select the most suitable plan structure. This personalized approach guarantees that your benefits plan will meet both your budget and coverage needs.
Plan Structure Options
We offer different plan options, including insured and self-insured plans, as well as health and lifestyle spending accounts. Our team helps you choose the best option for your company and employees.
Industry Benchmarking and Compliance
We compare your plan to industry standards to evaluate its competitiveness. We also verify that it complies with provincial regulations, ensuring your benefits plan is both fully compliant and optimized.
Plan Implementation and Ongoing Management
After your plan is set, we help with the implementation and ongoing management. We make sure your employees understand their benefits and provide continuous support to keep the plan running smoothly.
Group Retirement Plans and Pensions
At TWINN, we design retirement and pension plans that help secure your employees' financial future. Whether it’s a group retirement plan or a pension plan, we ensure the right choice for your company and your employees’ needs. Our approach includes thorough analysis, regular reviews, and clear employee education to keep your plan competitive and effective.
Plan Structure Analysis
We begin by analyzing the financial structure that best fits your company and employees. This helps us determine whether a group retirement plan, such as an RRSP/DPSP, or a pension plan like a DCPP or SPP, is the best option for your business. Our experts ensure that your plan is tailored to meet both your objectives and your employees' needs.
Insurer Selection and Annual Review
Once the right plan structure is chosen, we select an insurer offering competitive investment fees and a strong fund lineup. We conduct an annual review of the fund offerings and their performance to confirm your plan stays competitive and aligned with market trends.
Simplified Investment Options
For employees who prefer a hands-off approach, we implement simplified investment options, such as target date funds. These funds automatically adjust over time, providing an easy, passive investment strategy for participants.
Employee Education and Engagement
We ensure that employees understand the benefits of participating in the plan and are informed about key details, such as the importance of selecting a beneficiary. Our goal is to make plan participation easy and engaging, empowering employees to make the best decisions for their retirement.
Telemedicine
With today’s technology and a shortage of family doctors, telemedicine provides employees with convenient virtual access to healthcare. Employees can consult with doctors or nurses for non-urgent medical issues, get referrals to specialists, and receive prescription refills, all without needing to leave home. This service helps facilitate timely care and supports overall employee well-being.
Provider Selection and Cost Management
At TWINN, we help you select the best telemedicine provider for your company’s needs. We focus on finding a provider that fits both your budget and the healthcare needs of your employees.
Cost-Effective Solutions
We ensure that the telemedicine solution we select is affordable, providing the best value for your company while guaranteeing employees have access to quality care.
Scope of Services
We match the range of services offered by the provider to what your employees need, making sure that the plan is comprehensive and covers essential healthcare services like consultations, prescriptions, and referrals.
Employee Access and Well-being
By offering telemedicine, your employees gain easy access to healthcare, improving their overall well-being and increasing productivity. It’s a modern solution that supports a healthier and more engaged workforce.
Employee Assistance Programs (EAP)
We help you implement Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) that offer your employees access to a wide range of professional support. These programs cover both personal and work-related issues, providing guidance from financial experts, legal advisors, nutritionists, healthcare professionals, and mental health counselors, ensuring your employees receive comprehensive support for their well-being.
Comprehensive EAP Analysis
We start by analyzing the available EAP options, comparing their prices and services to find the best fit for your company’s needs. This affirms you select a program that provides the most valuable resources for your employees.
Effective Communication and Engagement
Once the right EAP is chosen, we help communicate the program’s benefits to your employees. We use clear memos and engaging presentations to ensure employees understand how to access the support they need.
Professional Support Services
EAPs offer a variety of expert services, such as financial advice, legal counsel, wellness support, and mental health resources. By providing this comprehensive support, your company helps employees manage personal and work-related challenges effectively.
Enhanced Employee Well-being and Productivity
By implementing an EAP, your company offers valuable resources that contribute to employees’ mental, emotional, and physical health. This leads to improved overall well-being and higher productivity in the workplace.
Mental Health Support
