Farm Credit of the Mountain Plains, Greeley, Colorado

“The high level of expertise and efficiency that Foundations provides helps us control HR personnel costs. Before we joined Foundations, our employer costs for medical and dental were increasing an average of 21.5% annually. Since joining, our annual costs have increased at a rate that has averaged less than 10%. We have found great value in the economies of scale within Foundations.

They have the size to develop packages and work with vendors, stay compliant with current laws and regulations, and bring forward competitive HR best practices in ways we could not do alone. They have a level of enthusiastic experts achievable only in a high-volume environment.

It would be very difficult for us to develop the same expertise and services in-house, and the costs would not be proportional to what we pay Foundations. They allow our HR department to concentrate on areas that help our organization be more successful in attracting, developing and retaining a talented, productive and engaged staff.

I am so glad to see Workforce Management services included in plans for the new 4.25 Service Corporation. They work very effectively with our board of directors, bring us salary market comparisons once a year, and have implemented the TOPS program for us that electronically aligns our performance management processes and salary administration. They keep us current with competitive best practices, and facilitate the chance to meet and share ideas and practices with our peers. Workforce Management has stepped up to every request we’ve ever had, and knows what’s needed to get it done for us.

Foundations is a good cultural fit with Farm Credit values. Expectations tend to get met when you have similar values. It makes it easier to communicate and attain expectations. The Foundations team has those values, and a sincere desire to help my organization compete and differentiate ourselves in the contest for talent.”
