Insurance Survey rescheduled to the new year

Council’s insurance committee has completed work on the insurance survey, to be rolled out across the membership. This is a very challenging topic to explore, and it has taken the committee and its research partner, Leger Marketing, a few weeks longer than anticipated to complete the work. Although the survey is now ready, we are rescheduling release for first thing in the new year in order to avoid an anticipated lower response level during the busy holiday season.

Members with an active email address on file with the office will receive notification and instructions, directly from Leger Marketing, in the first week of January. In order to speed processing and enable the kind of analysis that will be needed on the results, this survey will only be conducted electronically. If you wish to participate and do not have a current email address on file with Equity please visit the members only zone of EQUITYONLINE and update the contact information in your membership profile.

The survey is designed to review Equity member insurance from the ground up, including assessment of member need for year round coverage, spousal and dependent coverage, dental and vision coverage, coverage more closely geared toward the type of work being done, consideration of other insurance sources, affordability, etc.

It would be very useful for members to take some time, prior to completing the survey, to give some thought to their current and recent health and disability needs, health insurance usage patterns, typical contract patterns, and likely future needs. The results of this work will shape our insurance plan for some time to come, and considered and informed responses are essential to that being done well.

Thank you very much for your continued interest, and we look forward to receiving your responses in January.
