In this latest episode of Benefits Uncovered, host Jim Chek sits down with Lyndon Dyas of TD Benefits to discuss the growing importance of employee benefits in today’s competitive job market. “One of the first questions employees ask when getting hired is about the benefits,” says Dyas, emphasizing the value employees place on these offerings.
A key tool for retention and attraction in the workplace today, according to Dyas, is the group RRSP (Registered Retirement Savings Plan). “Group RRSPs are a great way to help employees save for their future,” Dyas shares. With payroll deductions and potential employer matching, it offers a simple way for employees to build wealth over time. “It’s out of sight, out of mind—contributions add up without much effort.”
Dyas also highlights the role of employers in creating a positive environment for staff development. “Employers are like sports teams—they recruit, develop, and retain talent,” he adds, quoting leadership expert Walter Bond. Offering competitive benefits, like group RRSPs, helps keep valued employees invested in the long run.
As businesses continue to navigate the challenges of today’s marketplace, investing in comprehensive benefits packages not only supports employee well-being but also drives loyalty. “It’s all about showing your employees they’re valued,” Dyas concludes.
