Santa Barbara, CA - April 11, 2006 - Benefit Software Inc.
Benefit Software Inc. (www.bsiweb.com), developer of Fringe Facts ® Communicator software, helps U.S. Epperson Underwriting Company communicate the value of health insurance and other benefits with personalized employee benefit statements.
Don Berkman, SPHR, Benefits Manager for USE, has been using Fringe Facts Communicator to produce printed benefit statements for employees in the Company´s U.S. and Canadian locations since 2002.
Mr. Berkman said, "Fringe Facts Communicator helps us to highlight the employees´ hidden paycheck. From an employee relations standpoint, this program is an excellent communication tool. Benefit statements are an ongoing opportunity for the Company to increase moral. The employees are our most valuable asset and this is a great way to show them our appreciation. The return on investment well exceeds the cost of the product."
Mr. Berkman also stated, "I can´t say enough good things about the flexibility of this program. In addition to using the program to create benefit statements, I have also used it to create a nine-page employment offer packet, customized communications for financial planning and retirement seminars, an open enrollment form and a personalized letter from the Chairman of the Board."
William Smith, Head of Sales at Benefit Software says, "The role of benefits communication in our workforce is becoming more critical every year. The most recent national surveys continue to highlight the gap between the employers´ cost in providing benefits and the employees´ understanding of those benefits. Employers are also becoming more sensitive to customizing communications to speak to the growing diversity of the workforce. Our latest release, version 7.0, includes many ease-of-use features designed to further reduce the time it takes our clients to produce high-impact, professional quality statements."
Fringe Facts Communicator, part of the Fringe Facts suite of products and services offered by Benefit Software Inc., continues to be the fastest, easiest, and most cost-effective way to provide benefit statements. Investing in Fringe Facts Communicator should be seriously considered by any organization that is seeking an affordable, easy-to-implement solution to communicate benefits.
