Most organizations ask the following questions:

• How do our benefits compare to other employers?
• Are premiums / costs on par with similar size companies, relative to our plan designs?
• How many employers have adopted a Health Savings Account (HSA) in my area?

At Haake, we are continually hearing these types of questions from our Employee Benefits clients. Although some information is available from national sources, most of it is too general to answer an employer's most important questions. Clearly, employers need customized benchmarking - a comparison of their unique plan(s) to others of similar geographic area, industry and size.

One of our key goals is to provide meaningful information and advice so that our clients can make better-informed decisions. With this in mind, Haake Companies partners with a highly respected national actuarial consulting firm to annually conduct a comprehensive Kansas City area survey of employer sponsored benefits plans. As a participant, this is provided at no cost.

By participating in the survey, our clients receive individual results and gain valuable insight into how their program compares to others, both locally and nationally.
