Arthritis affects more working Canadians than many employers realize.

September is Arthritis Awareness Month in Canada. With 6 million Canadians living with the condition and nearly half under 65, early management can make a real difference for careers and wellbeing.

The good news is your group benefits plan may already include resources to help employees or their eligible dependents manage arthritis and stay active. Encourage your clients to explore the complimentary support available through their benefit plan.
