Employee Benefits Shouldn't Feel This Complicated
Most employers face these frustrations. Here's what shifts when you partner with Bayview:
Before Bayview Financial
- Unexpected cost increases year after year with little explanation.
- Your staff doesn't understand or know how to use their benefits.
- You only hear from your advisor when it's time for renewal.
- Your plan doesn't seem to meet the needs of a diverse team.
After Bayview Financial
- Strategies to keep costs stable with clear and transparent explanations.
- Your staff understands their benefits and how to use them.
- Our team checks in regularly, offering guidance and support all year.
- Your plan supports and adapts to the needs of a diverse team.
Is Your Benefits Plan Attracting & Retaining Talent?
Many employee benefits plans underdeliver—not because of what they include, but because of how they're managed. Rob Anderson, our founder, breaks down why this happens and what it looks like to work with a partner who's focused on your success all year long.

The Right Price vs. The Cheapest Price
There's a difference, and it matters. We provide competitive pricing—but we won't recommend the absolute cheapest option if it sets you up for massive renewal increases. That approach creates chaos. Instead, we build plans with fair, competitive premiums that reflect your workforce and fund claims appropriately. The result? You get strong value today and predictable costs tomorrow.
Testimonials
Our employees weren't getting much value from their benefits because they didn't fully understand what they had. Rob and his team completely transformed how we communicate and manage our plan.
Our employees actually know what they have now, and our renewal this year was the first time in five years we didn't see a major cost increase.
Sarah M., Owner
Marketing Agency, (10 employees)
After years of only hearing from our previous advisor at renewal time, it's refreshing to work with a team that actually checks in throughout the year.
When we had questions about adding mental health coverage, they walked us through options that fit our budget. The HR and legal support is a bonus we didn't expect but really appreciate.
David C., Executive Director
Non-Profit Organization, (35 employees)
What impressed me most was that they took time to understand our team—not just throw a generic package at us.
We have a mix of younger employees and people nearing retirement, and our benefits plan now reflects that. The pulse meetings keep us ahead of issues instead of reacting to them.
Jennifer T., HR Manager
Manufacturing Company, (243 employees)
We were hesitant to switch advisors, but we're really glad we did.
Since making the switch, our staff retention has noticeably improved. They help us use benefits as a real retention tool, keep our team well-informed, and handle the details so we can focus on running our business.
Mark S., President
Technical Services Company, (87 employees)

Still Not Sure?Frequently Asked Questions
We’re not just quoting rates—we’re building better benefit strategies. Strategies, perks and wellness initiatives that help create happier employees and retain your best talent.
If you care about your team and want a benefits plan that actually makes a difference—not just a line item on your budget—you’re probably a great fit. We believe the cost of disengaged staff and turnover is far greater than the cost of a well-designed benefits strategy. If you’re looking to attract and keep great people, grow your business, and free up time to focus on what matters most, we could be a great match. We work best with employers who value advice, want responsive service, and see us as a long-term partner—not just a broker. Whether you have 5 employees or 300, we’ll meet you where you’re at and build a plan that works.
You get more than just a benefits plan—you get a partner. We provide expert advice on setting up, reviewing, and managing your plan so it actually works for your business and your team. We help employees understand what they have through easy-to-follow training and education. And we keep things fresh with health and financial wellness sessions that boost engagement and show your team you care.
Typically 2–4 weeks from initial discussion to plan launch. We guide you through everything—quotes, plan design, enrolment, and employee communication.
Costs vary based on plan design, number of employees, and the types of coverage offered. A rough range is 3–8% of payroll. We’ll help you find a plan that fits your budget and your team’s needs.
Some are, some aren’t. Health and dental benefits are usually non-taxable to the employee. Life and disability premiums paid by the employer may be taxable. We can explain what applies in your case.
If it’s been a while since you’ve reviewed your plan, there’s a good chance your rates aren’t as competitive as they could be. We offer a no-obligation plan audit and benchmark review to see how your plan stacks up against others in your industry and size range.
You can keep your current plan and change brokers without disrupting coverage. We’ll make the transition smooth and take over servicing your plan going forward.
It’s easier than most think. We handle the heavy lifting—reviewing your current plan, finding better options, coordinating the transition, and communicating with your team. No coverage gaps. No headaches.
Yes. Many employers are able to restructure, rebalance, or bundle options to offer more value without spending more. We’ll help you find efficiency.
Even great plans fall flat if no one knows how to use them. We offer onboarding tools, lunch & learns, and digital resources to help your employees get real value from their benefits.
We serve clients in many provinces across Canada. While we're based in Manitoba, our team holds licenses in multiple provinces, and we serve clients virtually throughout the country. Want to know if we can work with you? Reach out and we'll let you know right away.
