TELUS Mental Health Index: Significant Savings Gaps And Gender Disparities Challenge The Wellbeing Of NZ's Workforce
AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND - Today, TELUS Health released its TELUS Mental Health Index ('the Index'), revealing significant savings gaps and gender disparities across New Zealand's workforce that impact overall wellbeing. The report also shows that two in five workers have no emergency savings, while parents express mounting concerns about their children's mental health. Regional disparities further underscore the need for tailored wellbeing support. 'The current economic climate coupled with a labour shortage and mental health challenges is putting immense pressure on our workforce,' said Julie Cressey, General Manager New Zealand, TELUS Health. 'With financial concerns topping the list of personal stress for over half of working people in New Zealand, we're witnessing a significant ripple effect across communities and workplaces. Women and individuals in regions like Waikato and Northland are bearing the brunt of this economic uncertainty, underscoring the critical need for tailored mental health support - a one-size-fits-all approach simply won't suffice in addressing these complex, localised challenges.' Positive work environments significantly impact employee mental health and wellbeing. TELUS Health data highlights this connection: workers in family-friendly workplaces – currently 56 per cent of organisations – report mental health scores of 62.8, more than two points above the national average of 60.6. The effect is even more pronounced among working parents, with those feeling supported by colleagues scoring 64.5. These findings underscore the crucial role workplace culture plays in mental wellbeing. While a supportive environment is foundational, structured wellbeing programmes remain essential to meeting the diverse needs of all employees and ensuring no one is overlooked. The TELUS Mental Health Index also found: Thirty-one per cent of workers say their mental health negatively affects their productivity, with 40 per cent feeling overwhelmed. Financial concerns are the primary source of personal stress for more than half (54 per cent) of employees. Mental health risk affects 37 per cent of workers, with anxiety having the worst Mental Health Index sub-score at 53.4. Parents show significant concern for children's mental health, with scores 7 points below national average. Thirty-five per cent of parents experience guilt over limited family time. High workload ranks as a top workplace stressor for 31 per cent of employees. Women's mental health scores (58.9) trail behind men's (62.4). Family-friendly workplaces show mental health scores 2.2 points above average. 'In an era where financial insecurity and mental health disparities remain prevalent, employers who champion family-friendly workplaces and prioritise employee wellbeing cultivate more engaged teams and drive positive mental health and wellbeing outcomes,' said Paula Allen, Global Leader, Research & Client Insights, TELUS Health. 'Implementing wellbeing strategies that make workers feel supported and cared for is not only beneficial for employees, but crucial for sustaining organisational vitality, fostering a healthy company culture and ultimately driving business success.' In the second quarter of 2025, the mental health scores of workers in various regions were: New Zealand: 60.6 Australia: 63.0 Singapore: 62.9 United Kingdom: 64.7 South Korea: 56.1 Canada: 63.1 United States: 69.9 Europe: 62.4 The Waikato region reported the lowest mental health score (58.0), with Gisborne and Hawke's Bay leading the highest scores in the country (63.2). Northland showed the most improvement, with a 4.7-point increase since January (60.4) and workers on the South Island reported higher mental health scores overall (61.9). The TELUS Mental Health Index is based on a response scoring system that then turns individual responses into point values. Higher point values are associated with better mental health and less mental health risk. Scores between 0 to 49 correspond with distress levels, scores between 50 to 79 correspond with strain levels and scores between 80 to 100 correspond with optimal levels of mental health. This TELUS Mental Health Index includes additional findings related to key psycho-social risks in the workplace, and mental health scores related to industry and other demographics.

The Smartest Blue-Chip Stock to Buy With $3,500 Right Now
Written by Amy Legate-Wolfe at The Motley Fool Canada When the market feels uncertain, it's tempting to sit on the sidelines and wait for things to settle down. But often, the smartest investors are the ones who lean in, especially when it comes to blue-chip stocks offering long-term value. For Canadians looking to invest $3,500 right now, TELUS (TSX:T) stands out as one of the smartest choices on the TSX. With a reliable dividend, strong growth in healthcare and tech, and a customer-first strategy, this is a stock built for long-term success. TELUS isn't just another telecom. Yes, it provides wireless and internet services to millions of Canadians, but its business has expanded far beyond cell phones and fibre. The company strategically invested in digital healthcare and technology solutions, creating new growth streams that add value well beyond traditional telecom margins. That diversification paid off, especially as demand for virtual care and digital connectivity has continued to rise. In its most recent earnings report for Q1 2025, TELUS reported consolidated revenue of $5.1 billion, up 3% from the same period last year. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) climbed 4% year over year to $1.7 billion, showing that TELUS is growing not just the top line but also the profitability of its business. Net income attributable to common shareholders was $365 million, or $0.25 per share. The company added 218,000 new customer connections during the quarter, including 39,000 new mobile phones and 29,000 new internet subscribers. These are strong numbers in a competitive industry where growth is often slow and incremental. What really makes TELUS different from other telecoms is its investment in TELUS Health and TELUS International. TELUS Health now services millions of Canadians with virtual care, digital pharmacy, and health data platforms. In Q1 2025, this segment grew its revenue by 12% and adjusted EBITDA by 30%. That's substantial growth in a part of the business that didn't even exist a decade ago. It gives TELUS a foothold in one of the world's fastest-growing sectors, while still generating cash from its traditional infrastructure backbone. TELUS International, which provides a digital customer experience and artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for businesses around the world, continues to scale as well. While still a smaller contributor to total revenue, it helps position TELUS as a forward-looking company that's aligned with digital trends. Another major reason to like TELUS is its dividend. As of today, the stock yields around 7.5%, with a quarterly payout of $0.3636 per share. TELUS has raised its dividend 23 times since 2011, and management recently confirmed they intend to grow it by 3% to 8% annually through at least 2028. And with a payout ratio under 75% of free cash flow, it's a dividend that looks sustainable. TELUS also invests heavily in its infrastructure, which keeps customers loyal and future-proofs the business. In 2024, it committed over $3.5 billion to capital expenditures, expanding 5G coverage and fibre networks across Canada. That might seem like a lot, but in telecom, staying ahead in speed and service matters. TELUS has consistently ranked high in customer satisfaction, and its churn rate remains one of the lowest in the industry. That means customers stick around, which supports stable revenue and margin growth over time. From a valuation standpoint, TELUS looks attractive. The stock is down from its highs, trading at about $22 per share as of writing. That gives investors a chance to buy into a high-quality company at a reasonable price. Its forward price-to-earnings ratio is at 28, while its long-term earnings growth is supported by its expanding business segments and strong free cash flow. For Canadians thinking about where to park $3,500 for growth and income, TELUS offers a rare combination. It's stable, diversified, and innovative, with a track record of delivering shareholder returns. Whether you're investing through a TFSA or RRSP, this is the kind of stock that pays you to be patient. While others debate the direction of the market, TELUS quietly connects homes, supports doctors, and builds digital solutions, turning your investment into long-term value.

New Report: TELUS Health's inaugural Pharmacy Trends market analysis unveils Canadian pharmacies poised for $1.9B tech-driven transformation
Specialty pharmacy market expected to exceed $20B with over 10,000 licensed pharmacies filling critical healthcare gaps nationwide Advanced pharmacy systems enabling seamless collaboration and digital technology putting prescription management at patients' fingertips TORONTO, May 20, 2025 /CNW/ - Canada's pharmacy sector is undergoing a revolution to meet changing healthcare needs, according to TELUS Health's inaugural Pharmacy Trends Report: The Future of Pharmacy in Canada: Five Trends Shaping Canada's Healthcare Landscape in 2025. With the automated central fill pharmacy market projected to reach $1.9 billion by 2030 and Canada's specialty pharmacy market expected to exceed $20 billion, technological automation is enabling pharmacists to step into expanded healthcare roles, fundamentally changing how people in Canada access primary care services. "We're witnessing a seismic shift in Canadian healthcare delivery," said Ratcho Batchvarov, Vice-president, Provider Solutions, TELUS Health. "Our first Pharmacy Trends report reveals that pharmacies are rapidly evolving into comprehensive healthcare hubs, bridging critical gaps in primary care access. With the specialty pharmacy market set to surge beyond $20 billion and automation driving a $1.9 billion revolution in central fill services, we're not just talking about incremental change – this is a fundamental reimagining of community healthcare. Pharmacists have been advancing their role as frontline care providers, leveraging cutting-edge technology to offer more accessible, efficient and personalized care. This transformation is creating a more resilient and responsive healthcare ecosystem for all Canadians." The Pharmacy Trends Report provides valuable insights on how the Canadian pharmacy sector is evolving, enabling both pharmacists and pharmacy managers to identify opportunities for improved efficiencies in their practice and enhance patient care. Three notable trends from this first report include: Putting an expanded scope of practice into action: As millions of people in Canada struggle to find a family doctor, the nation's network of more than 10,000 licensed pharmacies is stepping up to fill critical healthcare gaps. These locations offer essential medical services, from vaccinations to prescribing medications for minor ailments. Patients see their pharmacists 1.5 to 10 times more than they see their primary care physician. Enhancing collaboration and streamlining operations: technology solutions can empower pharmacists to deliver their services in a way that's comfortable to them, and patients can access consistent services and care, regardless of where they go: Centralized prescription fulfillment reduces errors and administrative burdens, allowing pharmacists to focus on patient care. Over a quarter of community pharmacists in one survey noted their dissatisfaction with the daily volume of prescriptions to be processed. Advanced Pharmacy Management Systems allow pharmacists to collaborate seamlessly with other healthcare providers, ensuring patients receive consistent, well-coordinated care across all touchpoints. Specialty drug claims have tripled over the past 15 years, rising from 10.4 per cent to 32.8 per cent of total pharmacy claims. This dramatic increase means pharmacists must now manage more complex medication regimens while ensuring patients receive proper guidance and care. Engaging the patient: patients are taking control of their healthcare through digital technology. Modern pharmacy apps put prescription management at their fingertips, while allowing them to securely track their health data. This digital connection helps pharmacists spot health trends earlier and deliver more personalized care when patients need it most. "A recent survey found that 82 per cent of people in Canada reported being interested in virtual care appointments, showing yet again how patients are looking for more control of their healthcare journey," explained Batchvarov. "Embracing this type of patient engagement, while providing a platform that keeps personal medical information confidential with the highest data security protocols, is a key way forward in securing the trust of patients." The newly released 2025 Pharmacy Trends Report sparked valuable discussion at the company's recent Annual Conference in Toronto on April 29, 2025 — a key forum that brought together leaders from the healthcare, pharmacy, insurance and benefits sectors. This year's conference explored a comprehensive approach to connected healthcare, encompassing the pharmacy, physician and public health sectors, while reaffirming our dedication to data-informed and technology-driven solutions for Canada's healthcare ecosystem.
