We Are "Benefits Redesigned"
Benefits Redesigned was established in response to the growing demand from business clients seeking more robust and tailored employee benefits plans. We recognized that the standard offerings weren’t meeting the needs of companies aiming to stand out in a competitive marketplace.
In today’s business environment, attracting and retaining top talent is more critical than ever. A thoughtfully designed employee benefits package not only enhances employee satisfaction but also serves as a key differentiator in maintaining a competitive edge.”

My conversation with Stacey about benefits was incredibly helpful. Unlike most insurance sales people, her first priority was to understand my specific situation, and find the very best solution for me not just getting the sale.
She provided information that I had never considered to help ensure we fully understood our options with and without insurance. I am now fully empowered to make the best choice for my life. I highly recommend her services!
Jessie Jones
Streamline Plumbing And Drains Inc.
We’ve had a fantastic experience working with Stacey with Benefits Redesigned. She is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, taking the time to meet with us in person and thoughtfully addressing both our immediate and future needs. Initially, we looked into traditional health benefits, but they seemed too expensive, especially since we’d be paying for coverage we wouldn’t fully use.
We didn’t realize there was another option.
With a health spending account, we only pay for what we use – whether it’s dental appointments, medication, orthotics, or more. This approach allows us to save our personal money and use our corporate funds efficiently.
We highly encourage other small business owners to chat with Stacey about their options. Thanks to her guidance, we feel secure and well-covered in our family’s health and insurance needs.

What are employee benefits, and why are they important?
Employee benefits are non-wage compensations provided to employees in addition to their regular salary. These can include health insurance, dental coverage, disability insurance, and more. They are important because they help attract and retain talent, improve employee morale and productivity, and ensure the overall well-being of your workforce.
How do employee benefits impact my business financially?
While offering employee benefits involves an upfront cost, the long-term financial advantages often outweigh these expenses. Benefits help reduce turnover, lower recruitment costs, and improve employee engagement, which can lead to increased productivity and, ultimately, higher profits
What are the most essential employee benefits I should offer?
The most essential employee benefits typically include health insurance, dental and vision coverage, life and disability insurance, and retirement savings plans. However, the ideal mix of benefits depends on your employees’ needs and preferences, as well as your industry standards
What is a Group RRSP, and how does it work?
A Group Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) is a retirement savings plan offered by employers to their employees. Contributions are made through payroll deductions, often with the employer matching a portion of the employee’s contributions. The funds grow tax-free until they are withdrawn, typically at retirement, providing a financial cushion for employees in their later years.
What are the advantages of offering a Group RRSP to my employees?
Offering a Group RRSP is a great way to enhance your benefits package and show your commitment to your employees’ long-term financial security. It helps attract and retain talent, boosts employee morale, and provides tax advantages for both the employer and employees. Additionally, it encourages employees to save for retirement, reducing financial stress and enhancing overall job satisfaction.
How do Group RRSPs differ from individual RRSPs?
Group RRSPs are similar to individual RRSPs but are managed through the employer. Contributions are made directly from the employee’s paycheck, often with matching contributions from the employer, which is a significant advantage. Group RRSPs also typically offer lower management fees due to the collective bargaining power of the group, making them a more cost-effective option for employees.
