OTA Launches AdvantagePLUS™ Benefits Plan for its Members

(July 9, 2008) -- The Ontario Trucking Association is once again expanding its service offerings available exclusively to members by introducing OTA AdvantagePLUS™, a market leading group benefits plan. Following nine months of successfully piloting OTA AdvantagePLUS™ with over 30 OTA member companies, the new benefits plan is now available to all members.

In today’s market, many employers set out to simply replace current coverage at a lower cost, or even seek to reduce coverage wherever possible in the interests of cost savings. With the OTA AdvantagePLUS™ plan, employers can realize savings and deliver significant benefit enhancements to their employees.  

“These are two very important changes the OTA is introducing with AdvantagePLUS™”, said Joanne Benac, OTA’s Vice President of Finance and Membership Administration.  “OTA members can take advantage of OTA AdvantagePLUS™ through their current broker/consultant and to make it easy, they can match their current plan so that savings can be easily identified before making any changes to their benefit coverage”.

OTA has teamed up with GroupHEALTH Global Partners, a Canada-wide company specializing in the delivery of customized insurance services through a network of 50 affiliate offices of specialized group insurance consultants. With 30 years of experience providing service to organizations of all sizes in private and public and civil sectors, GroupHEALTH Global’s reputation for service, leadership, innovation and technology is unprecedented.
