2008 City of Gainesville Benefits Survey Results (B)
This item involves a request for the City Commission to hear a presentation regarding the survey results for a Benefits Survey that was conducted in 2008.
Explanation
A benefit survey was conducted in 2008 to understand the competitiveness of the City's current benefit program as a component of our Total Rewards package (wages, benefits and other value added work-life benefits) in order to maximize the use of any available resources to attract and retain employees for the future. Lockton Company was selected from an RFP process to conduct a review and provide a market comparison of the City of Gainesville's current benefit package.
An internal management team and union leadership worked with Lockton to develop a customized survey tool and to identify the agencies regionally and nationally to be invited to participate. Lockton conducted the survey and performed a thorough analysis of the data gathered. Lockton provided the City with a market comparison of the City's benefit programs.
