HighRoads Turns HR Innovators into 'Superstars'
For Third Year Running, a HighRoads Customer Wins Benefits & Compensation Solutions Award
BOSTON (March 24, 2008) - HighRoads is transforming how human resources (HR) teams manage programs and suppliers, by giving customers the information required to drive innovative benefits packages, at the right price. Its longtime customer, Hannaford Supermarkets, has won a Benefits & Compensation Superstar award, by exemplifying how benefit program cost and quality are not necessary trade-offs.
This year HighRoads also won in the solution provider category for its technology-based approach to proactively managing HR vendor performance, meeting benefit professionals' ever-growing need for ways to drive better pricing, service and efficiency.
The fifth annual award, sponsored by Benefits & Compensation Solutions Magazine, celebrates HR professionals who inspire the HR industry to deliver pioneering benefits and attractive compensation packages – even as costs rise, employees demand more and resources shrink. This is the third year in a row that a HighRoads customer has won the large-employer category.
"Benefit teams have an incredibly daunting role: they're responsible for programs that attract and retain a quality workforce while being pressured to control the number-one corporate cost item,” said Paul Daoust, chairman and CEO of HighRoads. "We applaud Hannaford's pioneering work, and are proud to be their partner."
HighRoads helps employers achieve new levels of efficiency and control in critical areas including vendor performance management, plan procurement and renewals and summary plan description (SPD) management. HighRoads' managed service centralizes HR content – including plan designs, pricing models, supplier performance guarantees, SPDs and contracts – and makes it useful across the gamut of annual activities.
