AgCountry FCS, Fargo, North Dakota

“Easily 50% of what most HR departments do is administration. It’s the reason most HR people stay down in the detail. Having those details covered by Foundations allows us to do what all HR people want to do – get into a strategic mode. I can’t tell you how lucky we are to have Foundations as a part of our professional lives.

HR people often get bogged down in benefit administration, vendor issues, payroll audits and other things that don’t allow us to add value at the highest levels of the organization. Foundations allows us to focus on what makes a difference here every day.

The Foundations team went through a lot to make their service organization what it is today. And, they’ve made us feel a part of the team. We’re included as partners. This is not a vendor relationship – this is true partnership. They respect our talent and want to partner with us. They understand our business. They understand Farm Credit is different. We are family.

Farm Credit Foundations has helped us move from transactional to transformational. What we get to do as HR professionals is largely because of them.”
