 “…it’s difficult to find health insurance information that is this specific and also compares us to others in our industry. This tool does just that and assists us in determining changes we’d like to make to our plan while remaining competitive in the marketplace.”

 “Comparing our complete benefit package to what other companies provide as well as specifically comparing our health care plan design to what other companies provide is very helpful. This gives us factual information we can use to determine and justify plan design changes we must make to render our plan cost-effective and affordable. The perspective of what others are doing allows us to make more informed decisions. We want to be competitive, but at the same time must control our costs.”

 “Our CEO and I have both found the benchmark tool and survey from DPL&A extremely helpful in our review of the benefit plans offered by Orchard Place. In particular, the comparisons to industry peers provided us with the necessary information to make decisions on our own plan design that will keep us competitive in our market. We also intend to use this information as we make presentations to both our board of directors and our employees.”

 "Our company is a small manufacturer with limited resources for doing comparisons on offerings of other firms. The benchmarking data provided by DPL&A has helped us greatly as we strive to maintain our employee friendly company culture. With the results, we can now compare what we are currently providing in health care benefits (our number one benefit cost) to the offerings of similar companies in Iowa. Without this benchmark it would be very time consuming and likely much more costly to gather the information we need to offer our employees the best benefit plan..."
