The Lab

The Lab is the industry's first real-time, unbiased HR benchmarking tool designed to put the power of data and knowledge into the hands of HR decision makers. Flexible and easy-to-use, it delivers timely, comprehensive data providing insight into how your employee benefits package matches up - in terms of coverage, cost and competitiveness.

Traditionally, gathering and accessing current, thorough data has been a major roadblock for benefits experts. Information was either too high-level or outdated - severely limiting its usefulness in helping HR teams evaluate their existing plans and understand current trends in the marketplace. The Lab also provides access to historical plan data, enabling users to compare and contrast any plan changes, and evaluate against the competition.

The Lab supplies real-time access to in-depth plan and pricing information, helping benefits teams compare their plans with other organizations by industry, geography and company size. The power of this aggregated data enables them to develop and deliver the best possible benefits package for employees - and the most cost-effective pricing structure for the organization.
