Thorpe Benefits knows the area of Wellness, inside out. We can do everything from assessing and adapting your current initiatives to building an effective long-term solution from scratch.  Our approach to Wellness is holistic, focusing on three important areas: physical health, mental health and organizational health.

This holistic approach means diving into each of these three areas to understand the main pain points and interests for your team – and then designing tailored programming accordingly.  For example, mental health programming could include topics such as financial wellbeing, time management or resilience.

We will determine with you which of these areas you need to focus on and how best to implement them. We do not provide band-aid solutions. Instead, our focus is on the long term. Your Wellness program will be integrated into your overall Group Benefits Plan.

We are proud to say that we have received national recognition for our corporate Wellness programs. Out of 400 submissions Canada-wide, we were awarded the Goodlife Fitness and Wellness leadership award for the design and implementation of a comprehensive Wellness education program and activities.
