We are pleased to announce that ACDS has partnered with Aon Reed Stenhouse and Northbridge Insurance Company to offer an exclusive membership group insurance program that leverages the potential discounts of large premium volumes, yet can be tailored to meet your individual insurance goals and needs.
The key benefits that you as a member can enjoy will be competitive pricing with potential savings and broader scope of coverage. The insurance marketplace remains unpredictable and the group program will offer you long term stability of rates and coverage from year to year.
The Community Disability Services field faces unique 'risk' challenges. Our operations are complex and insurance premiums remain relatively high and coverage restricted. In some instances insurance coverage has been difficult to obtain. ACDS' objectives were to develop an insurance program that protects the business interests of our members by securing comprehensive, cost-effective coverage and to find a broker that not only understands our business but is also committed to ACDS and it's members.
The ACDS membership group insurance program was developed over a ten month period that included a comprehensive search within the insurance market to obtain the best underwriter and insurance broker. The group insurance program has been carefully tailored by a team of specialists whose focus is on helping you achieve your strategic insurance objectives. You will benefit from long-term stability and premiums that reflect your individual loss experience and exposures.
The group insurance package also includes access to Aon's Risk Control professionals who can help you creat a safe and socially responsible work environment with regular Loss Control and Prevention seminars to help you avoid and mitigate future losses.
ACDS is excited to be working in partnership with Aon on behalf of it's members. As the largest broker in Canada, Aon has extensive experience customizing insurance and risk solutions for groups of all sizes. Together, we are committed to helping your business grow and prosper. Each ACDS member that participates in the group insurance plan supports the ACDS and helps to maintain lower premium costs of the plan which in turn benefits all insured plan participants.
We believe you will find the ACDS group insurance plan to be an excellent opportunity to get value for your insurance dollar. We hope you will take advantage of the tangible benefits available to you by being an ACDS member and participating in the group insurance plan.
Please contact Stan Lewis or Tam Kuria at the AON office if you have any questions regarding this ACDS service.
