Executive Director message
Welcome to the OASSIS website. We hope that you find it easy to navigate
and helpful in your search for affordable Employee Benefits.
OASSIS is all about serving community organizations, regardless of size,
across Canada; by providing comprehensive, affordable employee benefit
plans. By pooling our small group benefits dollars together with large
groups, OASSIS is able to offer stable rates, greater flexibility in
benefits choices, and coverage for some groups that might otherwise have
difficulty finding benefits. And, being not-for-profit ourselves, we do
this with no profit margin or commission fees, resulting in greater
savings for you.
If you don’t currently offer your staff employee benefits, consider the
role benefits play in recruitment and retention of good people. If you
do have a benefits plan, compare your offering with OASSIS to see if we
can save you time and money with our value proposition.
Check out our 5 Year Stable Rate History and Positioning Statement. We hope you will be convinced to learn more about us and how we can serve you better.
Sincerely,
Karen Bentham, Executive Director
