DelSuites Returns To Exhibit At The OIAA Claims Conference 2024

March 27, 2024
OIAA Claims Conference 2024

Heading into the heart of Toronto’s housing insurance landscape, DelSuites is thrilled to be attending this year’s Ontario Insurance Adjusters Association (OIAA) Claims Conference. Why, you may ask? 

At DelSuites, we provide more than just a space for temporary living. We offer peace of mind. Disruptions at home, be it a minor hiccup or a significant catastrophe, can throw lives into a tailspin. Our dedication to providing timely, comfortable, and welcoming short-term rentals in Toronto and the GTA in periods of crisis is integral to our mission. 

We understand the importance of restoring normalcy and ensuring safety, especially in the hours that matter the most. This conference is not just about claims but about making a difference and shaping the future of housing insurance to meet the changing needs of our communities. 

We’re making strides, and we can’t wait to share our journey with you at the OIAA Claims Conference on April 9–10.

What’s the OIAA?

For nearly a century, the Ontario Insurance Adjusters Association (OIAA) has been a cornerstone in shaping the claims adjustment and risk management sector within the province. 

Approaching its 100th anniversary since its inception in 1930, the OIAA’s membership has consistently pushed the envelope, navigating through pressing questions, instigating change, and innovating services that have left a landmark impact. 

At its core, the OIAA’s mission thrives on a few primary pillars, including:

  • Upholding the highest ethical standards in the insurance claims adjustment sector, setting comprehensive benchmarks that exemplify integrity and professionalism 
  • Tackling industry-related issues that impact the overall business of insurance claims and adjustment, ensuring smooth operations and enhanced service quality
  • Nurturing healthy relationships with governmental bodies, other organizations, and the general public to promote mutual growth in the context of insurance claims and their corresponding industries
  • Continually augmenting member benefits by facilitating value-added opportunities for networking, ongoing education, professional accolades, and unwavering support

As the OIAA forges ahead, it remains committed to its pivotal role of advancing the insurance industry, shaping its present and moulding its future. Its contributions to society are considerable and groundbreaking, making it a truly relevant and integral player in Ontario’s insurance landscape.

The Critical Role of Insurance Adjustments

Insurance adjustments are a crucial component of the recovery process post-disruption. They facilitate smooth transitions and enable individuals to regain control of their circumstances by:

  • Accurate Claim Assessment: Comprehensive evaluations of claims ensure that policyholders receive the compensation they deserve. Proper assessment prevents underpayments that can hinder repair and restoration efforts.
  • Streamlined Negotiations: Skilled adjusters can handle settlement negotiations with effectiveness and efficiency, expediting the claim resolution process.
  • Unbiased Mediation: A fair and impartial mediator can balance the scales between the insured and insurer, promoting mutual agreement and satisfaction. 
  • Policyholder Advocacy: Insurance adjusters represent the interests of policyholders, advocating for their rights and ensuring they are fully vindicated. 

This is where DelSuites steps in. Our dedication to providing secure and comfortable emergency housing solutions aligns with the duties of insurance adjusters. 

We understand the difficulties faced when life takes an unforeseen turn, but we are here to ease the journey, one step at a time. Our commitment to this cause is only underlined by our presence at the OIAA Claims Conference Trade Show. 

This event provides us with the opportunity not just to network and learn but also to reflect on how integral insurance adjustments are in helping people return to normalcy. Together, we’re building a resilient future, one where the pain of disruption is eased by swift resolutions and restorative home solutions. 

We’re excited to reveal more about our dedication to this cause at the conference.

As we look ahead to a dynamic program at the OIAA Claims Conference, we’re excited to share just a glimpse of what’s in store. Taking place at the MTCC on 255 Front Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, this event promises to be both enlightening and enriching.

How to Welcome an Employee Relocating

January 17, 2024

Thoughtful relocation support can make a big difference and can positively impact the performance and overall happiness of your new team member. So, how can you make your employee relocating feel right at home in their new city? Here are some ways that you can welcome your new employees so that you can make a great impression on them from the start.

Employee Relocating – Give Them a Welcome Pack

This is a lovely gesture that will make your new employee feel special. You can give it to them on the first day at work, or have it waiting for them at their accommodation. What should you put in it? How about:

  • A warm and friendly letter welcoming them to the city and the company.
  • A guide to the city with suggestions on interesting spots to visit.
  • Local snacks or cookies.
  • A bottle of wine or a case of local beer.
  • A map of the area where they will be living.
  • Coupons for discounts or freebies at local businesses.

Provide Them With Convenient Accommodation

Employee RelocatingPlacing your new employees in a hotel until they can move into a more permanent home isn’t a great solution, especially if they need to stay there for a month or longer. Instead, provide them with a furnished corporate housing apartment where they can enjoy all of the comforts of home, such as a kitchen, washer and dryer, living room, office space and parking.

Plus, make sure that they are located close to where they will be working. They are new to the city and they don’t want to be spending all of their time getting lost while commuting.

Create a Helpful Checklist

When locating a new province or country, there are a lot of things that your new employee will need to think about when getting themselves settled in their new home. This can be overwhelming for them, as there are so many things to do and it’s hard to know what is time-sensitive and what isn’t.

It can be very helpful to create a checklist for your employee relocating, to help them understand what needs to be done and what their priorities are. It will break down the large and overwhelming task into simpler and more manageable pieces. For reference, here’s a helpful checklist for employees moving to Canada from abroad.

Host Opportunities to Socialize

Employee RelocatingWhen your new employee arrives, they will likely not know anyone in the city and might feel a little bit lonely. You can make them feel more at home by hosting events where they will have a chance to make friends.

You can also offer information to them about other opportunities to meet people. If you aren’t sure what to suggest, ask your existing employees what events or get-togethers they attend or what things they did in the city to make friends when they first arrived. Many different activities and groups will welcome newcomers and make them feel like part of the community.

Ways to Be Environmentally Friendly in Your Furnished Condo

September 26, 2023
Environmentally Friendly, Condo, Toronto, DelSuites

You might think that any impact you have on the environment is pretty small in the grand scheme of things – so does it really make much of a difference if you try to adjust your habits?

However, if everyone made some small adjustments then a big difference could be made. So, how can you be more environmentally friendly in your furnished condo?

Here Are Some Ways To Be More Environmentally Friendly In Your Furnished Condos

  • Open the blinds in the morning. It will let the sunlight in which will help to heat your furnished apartment in Toronto.
  • Switch to an environmentally friendly cleaner. It will ensure that fewer harsh chemicals are released into the environment and into the air you breathe. You can find one at a natural grocery store or even some of the mainstream ones – just read the labels carefully.
  • If you wash dishes in the sink under running water, you’re wasting a lot of water. Instead, fill up one tub with soapy water (look for eco-friendly bio-degradable soap) and then one with plain water for rinsing.
  • If you use a dishwasher, remember that thanks to the modern technology of most dishwashers it is no longer necessary to pre-rinse the dishes before you put them in. This saves you from wasting water – because sometimes you use more water to pre-rinse than you would for a full wash cycle.
  • When washing your clothes, try to use cold water and only wash during non-peak hours, such as 6-8 a.m. or 8-10 p.m.
  • Only run a full load in the washing machine. You use the same amount of energy to power the washing machine whether you are washing a full load of clothes or a half load.
  • Use a drying rack rather than using a clothes dryer to save energy. If it is sunny outside, put the clothes on a clothesline – they will smell amazing if you let them dry in the fresh air.
  • Did you know that energy escapes from your electronic devices, such as microwaves, televisions, video game consoles, and coffee makers, even when they are off and you are not using them? Use a power strip to plug them in and then flip the switch to the off position when these appliances are not in use.
  • When it comes to food shopping, try to buy from local farmer’s markets as much as possible. It reduces the carbon footprint because the produce doesn’t have to travel as far. Plus, it supports the local farmers and benefits the community.
  • When you get around, try to walk or take public transit rather than drive if possible. Toronto has a great public transit system that will get you anywhere in the city.

These are just a few of the ways that you can be more environmentally friendly when you are living or staying short-term in your furnished condo.  In addition, here are 5 ways to go green. These are small changes that won’t make too much of a difference to your lifestyle but when they add up they can make a big difference to the environment.
