As the pandemic persists, putting pressure on us as individuals, families, and communities, it can feel a little overwhelming at times. We understand that there are lots of responsibilities on your plate and, with stricter lockdowns, it brings added concern and pressure with it too. Know that we’ve always got your back to support you, and that’s especially the case right now. Since spring’s always a time of refreshment and rejuvenation, we’d like to highlight a few ways to support your overall health and wellness, whether that’s at in-person appointments or remotely.

Our 2021 Client Satisfaction Survey has come to a close and we can’t thank you enough for sharing your feedback with us. At a time when there are so many competing demands for your attention, we truly appreciate you making space for us. 

When we first started working on this survey, we had hoped to receive enough responses so that the data gathered could be translatable across our covered member population. Well, you didn’t disappoint—we had over 12,500 covered members respond to our survey. 

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.

From your Alberta School Employee Benefit Plan (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. 

We’re pleased to announce the Alberta School Employee Benefit Plan (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 the Alberta School Employee Benefit Plan (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.
