Benchmarking

In this highly competitive marketplace, our members often struggle with how to efficiently and effectively offer their employees the most value from their benefits. One of the best ways to meet this goal is by benchmarking your own company against peers. The Business Group serves our members' benchmarking and data needs in several ways.

Surveys

One of the values of membership in the Business Group is the ability to learn from colleagues within other organizations who face the same challenges you do. Member surveys are a key way to gather information for benchmarking. These include:
