Today is National Insurance Broker Day, so taking a moment to reintroduce myself to those who may be new here.

I am Adam K. Short, owner and President of Adam K. Short Insurance Agency. I specialize in Group Benefits, Corporate and Personal Life Insurance, Group Pensions and RRSP's.

I have been in the industry almost 10 years and have run my own business for most of them. I was given the opportunity to take over operations of my father's company, Kerry P. Short Insurance in 2022 after he stepped into a semi-retirement role after running his business for over 40 years.

When I am not in the office, you can find me riding the dirt trails, on the course, enjoying live music and spending time with my favourite people.

If you have questions about what I can do for you give me a call at 905-684-2842!

If you are a business owner, having a corporate owned life insurance may be something to consider. They are a one-time, tax-free payout for your business if you or a partner dies. They also provide more than protection. They provide tax-free growth, can fund a buyout agreement and protect key people.

A corporate life insurance is most often paid for by the business, and the business is the beneficiary should something happen. You have worked hard to build your business and as an owner you need to make sure your business is set up to survive for years to come. This is one way to do that.

When it comes to group benefits, size doesn't matter. There are carriers that provide benefits for groups as little as one person.

This is a great thing for employers with small and medium sized business. As a small and medium size business owner you are already competing with the larger businesses for employees, so having the option to offer health, dental and life benefits is a great asset. Offering benefits to your employees helps to increase the quality of the candidates you receive when recruiting, increases productivity and overall moral.

What are your group benefit options? When setting up benefits you will have Life Insurance, and then can add a number of other options such as Health, Dental, Long Term Disability, Short Term Disability, Critical Illness and Employee Assistance Programs. You get to cater your plan to your needs.

To get more information on group benefits and options you can offer your employees, reach out to us. We are happy to help!

The big day has come and gone and now it is time to look at your finances and plan for your future together. One thing that is important is making sure if something happens to you, that your loved ones are covered. Life Insurance is the best way to do that.

There are a few different types to look into and see what suits your needs.

One option for life insurance as a couple is joint life insurance. There are pros and cons of getting this kind of insurance. With joint insurance, it could potentially be more cost effective and is easier to keep track of financially because there is only one policy. But on the other hand, there is less flexibility, depending on if you get first-to-die or last-to-die, one partner could be left with financial strain and if there is a divorce it is difficult to split.

If joint insurance is not what you are looking for, you can always get individual insurance. It is a bit more flexible and you can specify the year term.

There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to life insurance. It is what suits you and your needs. Each person is different and have different reasons for wanting it. You may have the ability to have both joint policy and also individual policies. Remember the younger you are the cheaper it is!

During mental health awareness week, it would be a disservice to not talk about mental health in the workplace. Many of us spend the majority of our waking hours at work, so it is important that we feel safe in that space.
Some ways that mangers can foster a safe space for employees are offering a space for open communication, offering support, creating a healthy work life balance, creating appropriate workloads, creating a positive workplace with encouragement and daily support and offering access to resources, such as an Employee Assistance Program.
An EAP is a great way to offer a variety of support and resources and an outlet for you employees to talk to someone (if needed) in a safe place.

If you have questions about adding an EAP reach out to us today!

May 4 -10 is Mental Health Awareness Week, and the Canadian Mental Health Association is focusing on bringing people together and making connections.
Social connection is important to our well-being and overall health. Millions of Canadians say they feel lonely often, but we can change that but building stronger communities to strengthen our mental health and help people feel connected.

Reach out to friends and family today, smile at someone in the grocery store, say hi to a co-worker you normal don't talk to. Come Together, Canada. Stronger connections, better mental health.

As a business owner you are always aware of rising costs of materials, labour, expenses, benefits, rent, the list can go on and on. You always try to stay a step ahead of things and try to keep costs down as much as possible. One way to help keep costs down is being proactive with health benefits. Instead of reacting to illness, focusing on employee health from the start will help keep long-term costs down, limit disruption and like we have discussed in previous posts improve productivity.
We know premiums for benefits increase year after year as you and your employees use them. If there are unexpected claims this could make rates jump significantly and we know not all illnesses can be stopped before they happen, there are some that could be with preventative measures. Encouraging early screening, routine checkups, have an Employee Assistance Program in place can all help with this. If employees are staying ahead of their health, they are more likely to take fewer sick days, their mental health will be better, and this will help lowering absenteeism.
By supporting preventative health benefits you are also strengthening your employer brand. This shows that you care about your employees, boosting their confidence in you as an employer, increasing satisfaction and morale, staying in the job longer, speaking highly of you in the public, creating less turnover within your company saving money on recruiting, hiring and training.
Take a look at what you offer in health benefits to your employees, see if there is anything you can add. If you do not an EAP (Employee Assistance Program) it might be a good thing to look into. For only a few extra dollars a month per employee it offers a wide variety of resources and benefits to your employees giving them more to access to help with their health as a whole.
If you have any questions about your benefits, how we can save you money in the long run or about adding an EAP, reach out to us.

World Day for Safety and Health at Work was first celebrated 23 years ago in 2003. It is a day to bring awareness to the consequences of work-related accidents and diseases. This year's focus is on the psychosocial health of the work environment. The psychosocial working environment is how work is designed, organized and managed and how the organization practices shape the everyday working conditions.
A healthy psychosocial working environment has role clarity, autonomy, support, fair and transparent processes, workload and working time. It strongly influences how work is experienced and affects workers' safety, health and performance.
Today take a look at psychosocial factors, the job, how work is managed and organized and the policies, practices and procedures that are in place.
