Employer News - June 2019

 

What you need to know about organizational change


Organizational change is common in the healthcare industry. Depending on the nature of the change, it can be relatively straightforward or complex. When change happens, HOOPP is here to support employers throughout the process.

Here’s a resource that provides you with information about how an organizational change can impact your administration of the Plan.

If you become aware of any changes that may affect your organization, please contact your Regional Manager.

Improving your pension administration experience 

Over the past few months, we have made several improvements to create a more efficient and seamless process to manage potential changes that may occur within your organization.

Later this year, we will be introducing enhancements to HOOPP Insight that will make managing this process easier for you.

Our goal is to provide you and the HOOPP members in your administration with a consistent and positive experience through any organizational change.

Learn more in our PDF resource, Organizational change: what you need to know.

Introducing a gender-neutral option for members


Gender-neutral option for HOOPP formsWe value inclusivity and know there is strength in diversity. To better recognize the gender spectrum as we serve our members and employers, we are making a change. Coming this summer, we are adding unspecified as a gender option. Employers will be able to make this selection when enrolling members.

Employers will be able to use HOOPP Insight to make changes for members who want to update their gender information on their Plan records. Members can also contact Member Services.

Reminder: The sign-in page on HOOPP Insight will have a fresh new look!


This summer, we are updating the sign-in page on your secure administration site. Here’s what it will look like:

There will be no changes to the rest of the site. You can continue to enjoy the same tools and features.

If you have any questions, contact your Regional Manager.

HOOPP's part-time programAnd not just any pension. HOOPP is one of the largest and most respected defined benefit pension plans in Canada. This is a vital benefit for members, who appreciate having an easy and more affordable way to generate reliable retirement income.

According to a 2018 survey of public sector employees by Accenture: 

  • 80% said that pension benefits are a critical factor in accepting a job** 
  • 77% stayed with an employer because of pension benefits**

Our part-time program comes with redesigned communication pieces to help encourage your employees to join the more than 350,000 members already in the Plan. These materials, which highlight the value of the Plan and the benefits of being a HOOPP member, include:

  • a new webpage available for use on your intranet site 
  • digital pieces such as emails and banners
  • a brochure 
  • two posters 

Be sure to check out our refreshed Joining HOOPP section on hoopp.com, which explains why joining HOOPP is a good investment regardless of age, earnings or hours.
