A first in the Canadian employee benefits market
QUEBEC CITY, June 17, 2024 /CNW/ - iA Financial Group is
breaking ground with the Symbiosis program, a comprehensive,
one-of-a-kind solution that allows plan sponsors to bring their
group insurance and group retirement savings plans together under
the same partner and benefit from a complete and streamlined
experience.
"There's been a trend emerging lately," remarked Janie Bilodeau, Vice-President, Client
Experience, Marketing and Products, Group Benefits and Retirement
Solutions. "More and more organizations are looking to combine all
their employee benefits under the same provider. Until recently,
they've been faced with a morass of fragmented and ill-adapted
solutions. Those days are now over. iA is proud to become the first
player in Canada to offer a fully
integrated solution."
