Group RRSPs: A Practical & Cost‑Effective Compensation Strategy for Employers

Attracting and retaining talent is becoming increasingly challenging—especially for small and medium‑sized businesses competing with larger employers. A Group RRSP can be a powerful, flexible, and tax‑efficient way to enhance your compensation offering without the complexity or cost of a pension plan.

In this session, Kelvin Ma, Group Benefits and Retirement Advisor, will provide an overview of how Group RRSP programs work and why they are increasingly being used as an alternative—or complement—to traditional compensation strategies.

This presentation will cover:

• What a Group RRSP is and how it differs from individual RRSPs and pension plans
• Key benefits for employers, including tax efficiency, flexibility, and administrative simplicity
• How Group RRSPs can support recruitment, retention, and employee financial wellness
• Employer contribution options and how they fit into total compensation planning
• Common misconceptions and pitfalls to avoid when setting up a Group RRSP
• Real‑world examples of how businesses are using Group RRSPs effectively

Whether you are a business owner looking to enhance your compensation strategy, or an employer exploring cost‑effective ways to support employees’ retirement readiness, this session will provide practical insights and actionable takeaways.
This presentation is designed for business owners, decision‑makers, and HR professionals who want a clearer understanding of how Group RRSPs can support both their people and their business goals.
