C&B Consulting, a division of Gallagher Benefit Services, Inc., today announced the release of their 2008 Benefit Plan Survey (http://www.candbconsulting.com/cbwebhome.nsf/af9f2288ad4c20b585256b440062b15c/d8723adc2ac19ca485256eca0051858aOpenDocument), a questionnaire that compiles regional benefit plan benchmarking data.
Each year, C&B Consulting conducts their benchmarking survey (http://vovici.com/wsb.dll/s/8086g3397f) and gathers insightful data
on practical benefits-related topics such as cost control strategies, employee contributions, employee communication methodologies, wellness initiatives and others. Once survey results
from the questionnaire are compiled and analyzed, C&B publishes their Benefit Plan Report, which is typically available by mid-summer. All participants in this year's survey will
receive a complimentary copy of the Benefit Plan Report as well as a $15 gourmet coffee card.
C&B's Benefit Plan Report, designed for employers as a useful benchmarking tool, allows human resources and financial professionals to compare their benefit program components against
survey data from anonymous organizations within the same region. Depending on the number of respondents, industry-specific reports are also produced to provide employers with a more
comprehensive report.
"Our Benefit Plan Survey is a great benchmarking tool for regional organizations that are seeking to gain a better understanding of their current benefit offering," stated James
Buonfiglio, President of C&B Consulting. "Employers have found our Benefit Plan Report to be helpful in measuring the success of their own benefit plans, as well as discovering new
strategies that may enhance their current benefit programs."
Last year's Benefit Plan Report was compiled from the survey responses of over 300 employers from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Collectively, these organizations employed over
112,000 people with an average group size of 319 employees.
