Next Benefits is thrilled to announce a new partnership with Maple – Canada’s leading Telemedicine platform – which will be offered as a premium add-on to all new and existing employee benefit customers.
Sick days, time traveling to the doctor’s office and endless hours spent in waiting rooms all increase absenteeism and impact a businesses’ bottom line. Maple provides instant access to Canadian doctors 24/7 via text, video or phone through any mobile device or computer — so employees can skip the wait and get the help they need in minutes.
The service is available to all Canadians on a per use or subscription basis, but is particularly effective when purchased by an employer to be used by employees. Over 65% of the visits on its platform prevent a workplace absence. This provides a meaningful boost in productivity for subscribed employers.
As a customer of the Maple platform and an admirer of their vision and execution, I am confident Maple will delight our customers looking for a premium digital service to boost their benefits offering.
Matt Lederman, President of Next Benefits
