   A better group benefits solution for your small business clients

   Running a small business isn't easy, especially for companies with smaller budgets and fewer resources. It can be tough to find a competitively priced benefits plan with the features that clients want. That’s why we created Equitable EZBenefits™, a benefits solution designed with the needs of small businesses in mind.
   
   Options to fit every need
   Available to organizations with between 2 and 25 employees, EZBenefits offers a range of plan design options to match different needs and budgets. * Whether your client owns start-up or a growing company, we’ve got them covered. Plan options include a mix of Life, Health and Dental coverage. ** Clients can also add Long-Term Disability (LTD) coverage or a Health Care Spending Account (HCSA).
   
   Embedded services to support health and wellness
   To provide employees with added support for both their physical and mental wellbeing, all our plan design options include:
   ● Anytime, online access to medical professionals through our Virtual Healthcare solution from Dialogue,
   ● Access to professional counselors – via the telephone, the web or in-person – through our Employee and Family Assistance Program from Homewood Health^®, and
   ● Online resources to help manage health, financial and family challenges through Homeweb, Homewood Health’s online wellness portal.
   
   Extra HR support for EZBenefits clients
   EZBenefits also comes with built-in HR support through Equitable’s partnership with Citation Canada^® (formerly HRdownloads). It takes the heavy lifting out of common human resource tasks with HR support tools and services. Features include:
   ● an award-winning cloud-based human resource information system (HRIS) to provide help from onboarding to offboarding and everything in between,
   ● access to a library of over 3,000 HR documents, templates, compliance resources and articles, with 25 free document downloads,
   ● a free Workplace Diversity and Inclusion online training course, and
   ● one free Life HR advice call with a seasoned HR expert.
   
   A streamlined process to optimize your time
   We know that advising small business clients can be challenging. We’ve created a streamlined benefits process that provides rapid quotes, hassle-free plan implementation, simplified renewals and that is easy to administer. That way, you can spend more time advising your clients and building your business – and less time with administrative back and forth.
   
   Pricing stability for long-term stability
   When it comes to attracting and retaining talent, we know your small business clients are competing with larger organizations that have big budgets and lots of resources. That’s why we’ve designed EZBenefits to provide long-term pricing stability for health and dental benefits.
