2012 Top Places to Work

Presented by:

Albers & Company We're workforce management partners. Using our 25 years experience in employee benefit consulting we discovered a fundamental flaw in the traditional approach. In 2007 we began to create The Accountability EdgeTM. The TAE helps our clients control costs, maximize their benefits investment, engage employees and accomplish their goals. In addition, to moving from a tactical to a more strategic approach, one of the most profound outcomes our clients tell us they appreciate is they can measure their return on investment. The results? We've saved our clients thousands in premiums. While we can't take too much credit, several of our clients have been nominated or awarded the BE's "Top Places to Work" designation. CEOs and HR clients agree, instead of the annual "benefits quandary", which we've named the Relentless Dissatisfaction Cycle, TAE participants have "peace of mind" knowing they've got a game plan . . . and it's working.
