FROM THE PRESiDENT
Technology and information processing continue to make our
business one that is evolutionary. Each new step we take is designed
to create more useful and timely information for the employee and
the client, all the while keeping our cost of doing business in an
affordable range. As you peruse this newsletter, you will see areas
in which we have made significant strides. Of particular interest
are things like the welcome letter that helps create employee
expectations and sets a positive tone for the employment
relationship. We have added new benefits like Tower Federal Credit
Union, and we expect to roll out three or four new, no cost employee
benefits in the first half of the year. We are moving ahead trying
to create an environment where workers will have no incentive to
seek alternative employment based on benefit programs and the
availability of information.
While we make these improvements, we have to remain ever
sensitive to the "high touch" aspect of our mission. Almost by its
very definition the human resource aspect of running a business has
limits to how much of it can be done electronically. So as you can
see in this edition of our newsletter the technical side of our
business is moving ahead rapidly, but we have not lost sight of the
fact we are in the "people" business!
