Do you use your Pacific Blue Cross benefits? Did you know, YOU get to vote on the PBC Board of Directors who made the decisions that can impact you and your family directly?
CUPE BC, BC Fed and CUPE 1816 have endorsed the following candidates for the Board:
*Jamie Matten
*Dr. Patricia Gerber
*Dr. Chuanyi (Johnny) Nie
We are concerned that Dr. Brian Day, who has a very well-documented history of trying to dismantle public health care, is running for the PBC Board.
YOUR vote matters. Voting closes June 17, 2024 at 4:30pm

EAP

With LifeWorks, is now being rebranded as Telus Health.  You can:

  • speak confidentially to expert advisors and counsellors for support
  • access clinically-verified, online well-being resources related to all types of personal issues from legal and money matters, to relationships, stress, dealing with anxiety or depression, caring for a child or elderly relative, or any other challenge

Best of all, LifeWorks is available, any time, 24/7, 365 days a year at 1-888-625-1136.

Would you like your family to have access to LifeWorks? Great news – they do! Your eligible dependents can access all of the well-being resources on the “Employee Assistance” section of the platform. They can also call LifeWorks toll-free, any time, 24/7, to speak with an expert advisor.

To invite your family members to connect to LifeWorks online: log in to sd36.lifeworks.com , go to your Profile button, then select “Profile,” then “Family.” You can add up to five eligible dependents’ email addresses, and LifeWorks will send them an email invitation to join.
