Education Week, which runs from May 3-7, is an opportunity for us to recognize the thousands of individuals employed in the public education sector who make a difference in the lives of Alberta children every day. Whether they are teachers, administrative staff, bus drivers, or custodians, they all play an important role in helping students across the province learn and grow.

We’re proud to share that our 2019-20 Annual Report, themed around finding strength in uncertain times, is ready for the world to view. We decided to try something new for our Annual Report this year: moving to a completely digital format.

At ASEBP, putting people first means making the commitment to support and promote the well-being of everyone we connect with, whether they’re our employees, covered members, employer groups or the community at large and this past year was no exception.

As a committed partner in promoting, protecting, improving and sustaining your health and that of your family, we want to know: are we meeting your expectations?

From your ASEBP benefit experience to how, where and when you interact with us, we want to know about it all. That’s why, this month, we’re launching our 2021 Client (that’s you!) Satisfaction Survey! This 10-minute series of questions will help us determine what we’re doing well, what we can improve, and if there are any opportunities we might be missing entirely. 

Here are the key details you need to know:

We’re pleased to announce ASEBP was recognized by the Governance Professionals of Canada during their recent Excellence in Governance Special Edition Showcase for our Trustees’ strategic planning, oversight, and value creation. This showcase featured unique and innovative governance practices of organizations and highlighted the key role governing bodies play in organizations, as well as best practices during times of crisis.

At this year’s Teachers’ Convention, even though we’ll miss seeing you in person, we’ll still “see” you online! Watch for our live or pre-recorded presentations at your online convention. 

We know teachers are no strangers to receiving apples from students, but at this year’s Teachers’ Convention, you could win an Apple Watch Series 6 from us!

This past year has been a poignant reminder of the importance of well-being. Not only the well-being of our covered members and their dependants, but of the dedicated employees who make ASEBP the organization that it is.

It’s an honour to be recognized as one of Alberta’s Top Employers, but the reward is in supporting our employees and providing a workplace where they can thrive.

We’re so grateful to our staff for their tenacity and innovation as we adapted to changes brought on by the pandemic—a true testament to the top employees that they are.

Today, ASEBP is proud to take part in Bell Let’s Talk Day. This year’s theme is Give because every action, whether big or small, makes a difference when it comes to mental health. Talking—and listening—has never been so important, as many of us struggle with the challenges of this pandemic.

On behalf of the entire ASEBP team, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of you during this very challenging year. You are part of the ASEBP family, and we value each and every one of you.

As the recognized leader in providing comprehensive health benefits and services specifically designed to meet the needs of Alberta’s public education sector, ASEBP is a committed partner in promoting, protecting, improving and sustaining the health of our covered members and their dependants.
