Successful companies rely on current and relevant data to make informed decisions. When it comes to employee benefits, HR managers too often rely on general anecdotal evidence in designing plans and programs. EBS believes that business leaders need specific facts and statistics to set and alter their strategic course. We work with clients and industry groups to identify the quantitative and qualitative data points that are critical to evaluating plan performance and forecasting future direction.
EBS’s web-based survey tool was developed and is supported by in-house applications programmers and designers. The tool can be customized to meet a wide variety of survey applications and question types. Our Business Intelligence Team develops overall survey results calculations, as well as many unique custom calculations and reports that deliver the data points that are meaningful to the client.
EBS’s Business Intelligence capabilities encompass any type of survey, including benchmarking, employee preference, and attitude about the workplace, leadership or corporate vision. The EBS Business Intelligence Team is best known for designing and publishing overall benefit trends surveys, as well as industry-specific benefit surveys.
