Employers-looking-for-more-Diversity-Equity-and-Inclusion

Many organizations are looking to grow their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) efforts for the good of their employees and work environment.

92% of members of diverse groups in an organization value their benefits plan, and 60% of job candidates said they would decline a job at a company that did not value workplace diversity. Therefore, it is crucial that diversity and inclusion be a part of your management plan.

Benefits are a stronger recruitment draw for members of diverse groups, with over 72% of minority groups stating that they wished their employer offered group benefits. With the demand for more inclusive plans, employers must adapt to meet the needs of all groups of employees.

Some Initiatives that are under the umbrella of DE&I benefits can include but are not limited to: 

  • Addressing Diverse Needs
  • Virtual Care Solutions
  • Family Building
  • Gender Affirmation
  • Mental Health Care

Employers must be aware of the risk of fraud because unfortunately, millions of healthcare dollars are lost to fraud every year. A common form of fraud is promotions that encourage plan members to use their benefits unnecessarily to attain a gift or incentive.

The Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association (CLHIA) is working with insurers to utilize AI, collect data, and identify patterns to assist in detecting fraud.

With a surge in benefits fraud, it is also valuable for both employers and insurers to stay to date with anti-fraud management and invest in education programs tailored to mitigating fraud.

At Benchmark, we make sure that our clients are free from risks with the latest technology and programs, and we will follow CLHIA’s findings closely, educating our clients as necessary.
