Employee Benefit Plan
Over 55 years ago, VICA and regional associations across BC created a fund for affordable, comprehensive employee benefits. Today that’s the BCCA Employee Benefit Trust, the only benefits provider built for BC’s construction sector.
Why a benefits plan matters?
Employee benefits are no longer optional for employers who want to thrive
Construction employers face real competition for skilled workers. A strong benefit plan helps you attract the people you want, keep the ones you have, and show your team you’re invested in their wellbeing.
-
Attract the most talented employees
Top candidates compare total compensation. A solid plan puts you ahead of employers who offer wages alone.
-
Minimize employee turnover
Employees with good coverage stay longer, reducing the real cost of recruitment and retraining.
-
Keep a healthy workforce
Access to care means issues get addressed early, keeping your team on the job and performing well.
-
Boost employee productivity
Employees who feel supported and secure bring more focus and commitment to their work.
