How the firm came to be

A brokerage built for today.

Alex Hale joined the group benefits industry in 2016. After several years in the industry we saw the same patterns repeat, renewal costs climbing every spring, employees confused about their own plan, brokers showing up once a year and providing little value.

WorkBenefits was founded to do the opposite. Pick up the phone. Explain things clearly. Charge a flat rate and show the math. Build plans employees are glad to have. Build benefits as a part of the company culture.

Today WorkBenefits operates as a division of Hale & Associates Inc., with a full team behind every plan, account management, member services, claims advocacy, and compliance under one roof.

What we believe

Four things we don't budge on.

Carriers pay us. Not you.

We earn a flat 8% commission from the insurer. We'll show you the math any time you ask.

Plain language, always.

If we use an acronym, we explain it. Your employees should know what they have.

A named advisor on every file.

You get a real person who knows your plan. Not a service desk and not a ticket queue.

We tell you when to stay.

Sometimes your current carrier is the right answer. We'll say so.

Where we are

Mississauga, Ontario.

We work with employers across Ontario. Most of our clients are in the GTA, Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo, and Ottawa. When it makes sense, we'll come to your office. Most of the time, video works fine.
