Here are some of the reasons why Public Sector Pension Investment Board / PSP Investments was selected as one of Montreal's Top Employers (2024):
- In an effort to remove barriers to accessing care, PSP Investments recently increased coverage for mental health practitioners, from $1,000 to $10,000 and inclusive of eligible dependents -- employees may be reimbursed for a variety of practitioners, including psychoeducators, psychologists, psychotherapists and social workers
- As part of PSP Investments' benefits plan, employees receive a significant amount of flex dollars to enable them to build personalized coverage -- unused flex dollars can be allocated to health or wellness spending accounts, redirected to RRSP or TFSA accounts, or taken as taxable income
