Business Assistance Services (BAS) Resources

Chambers Plan’s BAS, available to all member firms and provided by Arcora, is designed to help small and mid-sized businesses thrive, with access to expert resources and professionals who understand the challenges you face, whether they be legal, financial, or human resources related.



Effective April 1, Arcora will now offer Leadership Coaching under the BAS. At no extra cost, Arcora will provide three hours per year of one-to-one personalized professional development to one business owner in your firm, helping to strengthen decision-making, enhance resilience and build or expand upon a thriving business. You will access this coaching through your firm’s my-benefits account; watch for more information in April.

The new leadership coaching replaces the employer-referred counselling component, which has seen a decline in utilization due to significantly more firms opting to add our more comprehensive Employee Assistance Program (EAP) offering. The referral service is being discontinued effective April 1. Members currently receiving employer-referred counselling will be offered wrap-up sessions and made aware of any options they have for future counselling.

There is no interruption to the employer-referred counselling if your firm holds the Plan’s EAP, provided by Arcora. The EAP provides confidential counselling support, financial, legal, nutritional and eldercare guidance, as well as childcare navigation support. It also includes access to Hugr, Arcora’s digital mental health app. While Hugr was previously available to all Plan members, as of April 1, it will only be available to members covered under the Plan’s EAP. However, Arcora has kindly agreed to continue providing access to those members without EAP who have existing Hugr accounts predating April 1, 2025, ensuring no one currently using it will lose access.

If your plan does not currently include the EAP, speak with your Chambers Plan advisor today about adding it, and give your team the well-being resources they deserve! Regardless, we truly hope you enjoy, and benefit from, the new Leadership Coaching component soon to be added to the BAS.

Prioritizing your personal growth and achieving your goals starts with the right guidance and support. Arcora’s confidential coaching services provide you with the tools and strategies you need to unlock your full potential. Professional coaches will work with you to clarify your objectives, develop actionable plans and overcome obstacles—inspiring you to embrace your journey with confidence.
