Services for Employers
The workforce has changed:
Do your benefits packages reflect the diversity realities of households?
Next Generation Workforce

For those now entering the workforce, Stats Canada reports that approximately 10.5% young Canadian adults (Gen Z) identify as 2SLGBTQIA+. Private sector surveys, such as those from Deloitte Canada and Gallup, report that this number is closer to 15-20%.
Are you ready with 2SLGBTQIA+ benefits for the next generation workforce?
Unsupported Queer Workforce

For those already in your workforce, many of which are your current mid-level managers or senior leaders, reports show 5-10% identify as 2SLGBTQIA+. Many of them feel their existing benefits and EAP/EFAP programs doesn't really support who they are.
You can show them you understand and offer something FOR them, BY them.
Chosen Family Caregiving

Queer Families are unique. Canadians in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community are significantly more likely to live in "non traditional" households. A study by Egale Canada found that 2SLGBTQIA+ Canadians are more likely to provide care for "chosen family" members but are less likely to have access to employer benefits that recognize these non-legal bonds.
Inclusive benefits packages are no longer just an add-on. They are a talent attraction and retention strategy.
Traditional Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) are not well equipped to handle specific 2SLGBTQIA+ needs. We fill that gap.
Go further than awareness and recognition, offer your employees support that recognizes the diverse structure of modern Canadian households and families.
