Doug Hofbauer

President and CEO, Frontier Farm Credit, Manhattan, Kansas

“We are at a size where we have an idea of what we need to do, but we are not quite big enough to get it all done without leveraging somebody else. We really appreciate having access to Foundations’ services, their designed programs and their broad database of other employers for comparative analysis — that is a real advantage. And the employee benefits that Foundations provides for us, as a group of Farm Credit employers, are very competitive — probably second to none in the marketplace. We couldn’t do that without the economies of scale and expertise that we can leverage on a combined platform like Foundations.

I really appreciate being able to get people on the phone that care about who we are. They care about us, they are professional and they have quick service. Our employees feel comfortable calling Foundations directly, too. We certainly like what Foundations offers — a full array of knowledge from a single source. It would be impossible for an organization of our size to recreate what Farm Credit Foundations can do for us in terms of knowledge and service.

We are exploring some things that we think need to happen, changes in our compensation programs, structure of HR support — and that’s where we leverage Workforce Management. Our relationship with Foundations is a valued partnership that we try to leverage to the hilt. Foundations is our HR professional team. They know the landscape.”
