Reminder: Please Complete Insurance Survey by January 25

You should have received the insurance survey by e-mail on January 15, but we’d like to remind you to complete it here as well.

One of Heartland’s priorities is to gather feedback when making decisions that directly affect staff members. One way to gather staff input is through our Insurance Committee, which is made up of staff members who represent each of the Agency’s collective bargaining and management groups. This committee is responsible for collecting data and making decisions pertaining to the benefits that Heartland provides to its staff members. The Insurance Committee is asking for your feedback on how satisfied you are with the Agency’s current insurance providers and the services they offer. This feedback will be used to make decisions about future agency-sponsored benefits.

Please click on the link below to take the insurance survey. It will only be available from Friday, January 15 until 8:00 a.m. on Monday, January 25. Thank you very much for your participation.
