October is Children’s Vision Month, and with World Sight Day this month, it’s a good time to put eye health in focus. 👁️

Regular eye exams do more than check how clearly we see. They can help identify vision concerns and signs of other health conditions early, making routine eye care an important part of overall well-being. For employees with families, vision benefits can also help make eye exams, prescription glasses, contacts, and other eligible eye care more accessible.

Take a moment this month to look at the role vision care plays in supporting your employees and their families: grouphealth.ca/portfolio-items/vision-benefits-and-their-place-in-an-employee-health-benefits-plan/

Your benefits data can tell you more than what your plan costs.

Utilization, absenteeism, disability trends, and employee feedback can help uncover what employees are using, where needs may be changing, and where there could be opportunities to strengthen your plan.

Looking at the right metrics can help turn benefits data into better-informed decisions for your people and your business.

Back-to-school means busy mornings, packed calendars, and a lot more to fit into the day. When a parent or child needs medical care, finding time for an appointment can add another challenge.

Virtual healthcare through GroupHEALTH's wellness concierge sparrow, gives employees and their families convenient access to medical professionals from their phone, tablet, or computer, making it easier to fit care into busy family schedules.

For working parents, that can mean less time spent juggling appointments and more convenient access to care when their family needs it.

As kids return to school and families settle into new routines, working parents may be carrying more than a busy schedule.

When a child is struggling with their mental health, finding care, managing appointments, and worrying about their well-being can add to an already full plate, affecting a parent’s own well-being, focus, and engagement at work.

For employers, it’s an important reminder that supporting employees can also mean supporting the families they care for.
