I appreciate your thoughts on our new benefits program. While everyone has different opinions about the program, one thing to keep in mind is the changing environment of the healthcare industry. From what we have heard from insurance providers, this is the trend of healthcare and if companies aren't already using this type of program, they could be soon. The good thing about the healthcare program PlattForm offers is that it does have three options. I realize each employee has unique requirements and hopefully, PlattFormers can find one that best fits their current needs. We are continuing to balance cost to employees and increasing healthcare cost.
There will be additional communications coming out to PlattFormers about our benefit program to answer follow-up questions. As always, I encourage you to talk with HR about your concerns.
In regard to your comments about locations, yes, do live in Chicago. But, let’s remember our company t is global today across 5 states, and 3 continents. I certainly am learning more and more about all of our areas, but if I offended you in any way about my lack of knowledge about KC, I apologize.
I hear you concerning investment towards people and technology. We did invest millions of dollars in technology in 2014-15 (and more coming this year) and excited about our new leader in HR coming on board this past week.
Finally, it sounds like you care for PlattForm and hope we can meet sometime face to face to talk directly. I, like you, care for this company and we are all working very hard to continue our company’s transformation. Not easy, but we have made good progress (see recent wins across the Globe!!).
I wish you all the best,
Steve
