"I received my Total Compensation Statement in the mail at home. I was quite impressed with the design and your adherence to our Corporate look and feel. It was one of the best graphic pieces that I have seen produced outside of my office. Great Job!"

"The implementation process was very simple and the template was very easy to update. Your company generated a very impressive and detailed total comp statement. The staff was very professional and easy to work with."

Jeanne Thrift, Compensation and Benefits Manager
WIKA Instrument Corporation - Lawrenceville, GA

"The fact that they compile all data for you is very nice. It made things much easier on me. Also I liked having a dedicated account rep I could go to with questions. The ability to go online and edit the template, create samples and print/review actual statements was very nice."

Allison McClure, Human Resources Associate
UniPro Foodservice, Inc. - Atlanta, GA

"We particularly liked the flexibility and capabilities of the software. The project success manager literally created edits on-the-fly during web-conferences. Powerful stuff because the client could see their ideas immediately-including those that wouldn't work. REALLY cut down on the back and forth communications and the client was never left wondering 'what if we...' Our goals were significantly exceeded."

Simon Elliot, Human Capital Practice
Willis Group and Accuray - Northern California

Matthew Perry, PHR, Human Resources Manager
Your Community Credit Union - Irving, TX

Jill Liegel, Mgr. Compensation & Benefits
Lands' End - Dodgeville, WI

"Polycom contracted with Total Rewards Software at a very crucial point in time to launch mid-year, point-in-time Total Rewards Statements for the first time. Comprehensive, accurate-and global! -statements with a WOW factor was a goal of top management. The team at Total Rewards were great for getting the whole project off the ground, organizing our efforts and putting all the programs into place. Leveraging their experience and a hands-on/can-do attitude, these programs were more successful than any one of us could have predicted: from idea generation to HTML/Web expertise, to communications and roll-out. The custom nuances we required led to a unique product and our Total Rewards Software project manager became the right arm of the program, working closely with us all along the way. We are getting great feedback. It's been a success!"

Lynda Kistler, Human Resources
Polycom, Inc. - Pleasanton, CA

"We wanted to create and provide a Total Rewards statement in a professional and timely manner. The TRS software met our needs very effectively. In particular, the templates and data management functionality saved us considerable time and effort. The final product was well-received by our associates. Thank you."

Les McElwain, Director of Organizational Development
Swagelok Northern California - Fremont, CA

"To create total compensation statements, I used to mail merge them in Word. Since I always had 10 odd statements, I ended up creating a different template for each. It used to be a huge hassle and bog my computer down having to generate 800+ statements.

"TotalCompBuilder.com is a really easy tool to use. I loved it."

Esperanza De La Torre, Human Resources
Quinn Group, Inc. - City of Industry, CA

"Thank you for sending me that letter containing information summarizing all of the wonderful ways I am compensated by VPD. It was a welcome reminder that I made the right decision coming to work here. Thanks for taking such good care of us and taking the time to communicate that fact."

Employee at VPD

"The Exec Director at Cal Academy stopped by the benefits manager's office and personally complemented how 'clean' the comp statements look and that the forms were distributed electronically with so much information available when accessed online."

Simon Elliot, Human Capital Practice
Willis Group - Northern California

"I am so glad we found TotalCompBuilder.com! From the first moment I began speaking with Alessandra she eased my fears and took the time to explain to me in detail everything about the project I was about to take on.

"It has been a real pleasure working with Alessandra, very professional and courteous. Alessandra became an extension of my project. She always goes the extra mile to ensure I understood various aspect of the project, which was very imperative. I cannot think of a time that I called for help that she did not answer the phone! You don't find that often in customer service. Her attention always made me feel that my project was just as important to her as it was to me.

"Alessandra helped me deliver Total Compensation Statements to my employees (over 2,000) with high quality, promptly, without error, and affordable. I am fortunate to have been able to work with Alessandra."

Margaret Gee, Director of Communications

"When I was assigned this project for our organization I was somewhat skeptical about how this would be achieved seeing it was a project that had been in the works for some time and never completed. Working with TotalRewards Software to get this accomplished was a great experience. Their guidance through the data collection made the process very manageable. The customer service is exemplary! We have now delivered to our employees a valuable tool that we can also utilize for recruitment and retention in the future. I highly recommend this product to any organization."

Brenda Lomonaco, HR Applications Administrator

Sharon S. Belaschky, PHR
Porter-Starke Services, Inc. - Valparaiso, IN

"After several years (and numerous demos) of considering a program to showcase total compensation to our employees, our firm decided to rollout a program one month prior to the start of a new fiscal year. Not only was the cost of the TotalRewards package lower than its competitors, the features of the system and the "no problem" attitude of our representative supported our choice. We were even able to add new fiscal year salary information to each of our employees Total Compensation Statements, making it truly a total package."

Dan Hamann, MA, PHR, Human Resources Manager
Doeren Mayhew & Co. - Troy, MI

We are a multi-national organization, and the differences in currencies and benefits posed several challenges to us. Our representative at TRS, and the entire staff, worked with us to meet these challenges head on. And, to our delight, they managed to improve the process for us the following year! The customer service has been excellent. I highly recommend TRS to any organization that is looking for a true partner!"

"Thank you for all your work. The booklets looked great."

Stacey Pasquale, H.R. Coordinator
Raymond Handling Concepts - Fremont, CA

"2003 was our first year working with [Total Rewards Software], and we are extremely satisfied with their service, professionalism, and with their product. Our benefits' statements were produced 'on-time' and [TRS] was responsive and flexible in meeting our needs. Before hearing about [TRS], we tried another company, and seven months later we still did not have any statements.

"Understandably, we were very apprehensive about working with yet another vendor. However, [TRS] allayed our fears, by responding to our questions 'same-day', and by remaining 'on schedule.'

"We are very pleased with our employee benefits' statements, and I would recommend [Total Rewards Software] to any organization."

Leon W. Kochan, Vice President, Human Resources
MICA - Phoenix, Az.

"Thank you --- great service. I appreciate the cooperation on all our last minute changes, etc."

"We have recently had the opportunity to work with [Total Rewards Software] and the service, follow-up, and end product were truly exceptional. Every person we had the pleasure of dealing with was professional and client service oriented. It is without hesitation that I recommend [Total Rewards Software] as a vendor for any benefits services your company needs."

Deb Whitworth, SPHR, Vice President
The Waldron Group - Agusta, Me.

"Working with [Total Rewards Software] was truly an enjoyable experience! This was our third year producing online Total Compensation Statements for approximately 9,000 employees and it couldn't have gone smoother with the help of [TRS]. [TRS] guided us through the process with excellent organizational and project management skills. They were very responsive and flexible to our requests as well as offering helpful suggestions and creative ideas to produce a high quality, comprehensive statement. Our management and employees were very pleased with the statements and look forward to receiving them each year. We anticipate a continuing relationship with [TRS] and highly recommend their expertise in this area!"

Kristin Charbeneau, Senior Benefits Analyst

"... employees commented that the booklet was convenient as it had all the benefits information in one place. Our company President was also pleased with the way the booklets turned out."

Cynthia Fung, Human Resources Supervisor
Textainer - San Francisco, CA

"This is the second year Suitt Construction has used [TRS] for benefit and compensation statements. Over the past year the statements have allowed our employees to realize the 'real costs' of their benefits and have allowed them to 'visualize' how much these benefits are really worth to them and their families. It is so difficult to communicate 'benefits' to employees especially when they contribute towards the cost, but it's wonderful to be able to show them in black and white how much they are really worth!

I truly appreciate everything you have done for Suitt!"

Joye M. Garrett, Benefits Manager
Suitt Construction - Greenville, SC

"Working with [TRS] in preparation for our company's first online benefits summary was a very positive experience. The preparation for the online summary was smooth and easier than anticipated by our staff. The [TRS] staff was very helpful in answering our concerns, providing helpful suggestions, and customizing our site. [TRS] kept on the proposed project schedule and delivered ahead of time. The ability for our employees to log on from their office as well as from the privacy of their home to view the value of their entire compensation, was also big plus. More importantly, the employees were able to visualize the employer's contribution to their entire benefit package. After launching the online statements, the employee response ranged from 'cool' to 'awesome'. Thanks!"

Karen L. Buell, Human Resources Generalist
Zone Labs - San Francisco, CA

"We have been clients of [Total Rewards Software] for several years and they have consistently provided an excellent product. The staff is very responsive to our needs and they do an outstanding job delivering what we want on time. The benefit statements are easy to read and understand and the employees really appreciate them. I would highly recommend [TRS] to any organization interested in improving the way they communicate with their employees.

"Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication and we look forward to working with you again next year!"

Janice K. Mizota, VP/Director of Human Resources
Heritage Commerce Corp - San Jose, CA.

"I would like to express my gratitude to your organization for the accomplishment of getting the personal statements to all the employees of Santa Clara County Federal Credit Union.

"Your staff did a tremendous job in bringing together all the information we provided and transforming it into a very valuable package, which staff members really appreciate. This year particularly was a challenge, as we threw in and amendment, and you worked with us to provide this additional information expediently.

We appreciate your expertise and look forward to working with you to provide future personal statements to our staff."

Theresa A. Sarti, Human Resources Specialist
Santa Clara County Federal Credit Union - San Jose, CA

"Moving from a paper statement to the electronic online statement has proven to be a great benefit to our employees. Not only were we able to get the statement out quicker, the information is available to the employees more easily. It was well received by our population!

"I found [TRS] to be very responsive to our needs. They were able to accommodate our specific requests in a very timely manner. They were helpful in providing us useful ideas for the statement and in making it a professional and useful document.

We are looking forward to continue working with [TRS] and would recommend their services to any one looking for a high quality product!"

Carol Paul, Sr. Benefits Specialist
PMI Mortgage Insurance Company - Walnut Creek, CA

"Because our provider was unable to meet our tight schedule, we had our broker do a quick market research and ended up with entrusting you, [Total Rewards Software], to create and distribute our yearly Benefits Statements.

"To say that you met our expectations would be an absolute understatement. Each employee received a personalized Benefits Statement that was attractive, comprehensive and accurate. I was greatly impressed with your working process that began with data gathering in a professional manner and ended up with the timely shipping of the individually packed statements to employees in four different States. Thank you for doing a great job at a very competitive price."

Robert P. Mendonca, Benefits Manager
Shaklee Corporation - Pleasanton, CA

"Thank you for your generosity and patience as you worked to set up Easter Seals Superior California with its first annual employee benefits summary. During the process of data gathering, sorting, calculating and recalculating, your customer service never faltered.

"Our goal was to communicate to our employees the employer's cost for their current benefits in order for them to have a greater understanding of the Organization's need to implement changes, due to the annual increase in employee benefit costs. And that goal was achieved via an attractive, comprehensive booklet, you personalized for each employee.

"It has been a pleasure working with [Total Rewards Software] - I highly recommend your product and your people!"

Jennifer Lubenko, Director of Human Resources
Easter Seals Superior CA - Sacramento, CA

"[Total Rewards Software] is constantly looking for creative ways to improve their product. We have been doing business with [TRS] for several years and have been very pleased with the statements. Our employees and their families have benefited greatly from the information they received in their personalized statements."

Cathy Norvell, Sr. Human Resources Generalist
Orcon Corporation - Union City, CA

"This is the second year CommonWealth Central Credit Union has used [TRS] for benefit and compensation statements. In a volatile employee market any internal marketing a company can do to retain employees is critical. The statements help employees see employer costs and provide the employees with the big picture. I would highly recommend [TRS] as a vendor."

Laura Lacomble, Vice President, Human Resouces
CommonWealth Central Credit Union - San Jose, CA

"This is the third year [TRS] has prepared our annual benefit statements, and I am pleased with the efficient process used this year and the result. Even though we have a large benefit package to communicate, the statements were very thorough, easy to read, attractive and were distributed in record time.

Benefits are costly to provide and administer, and it is important that we let our employees know that they are valuable to us and worth the expense and effort. The statements [TRS] prepared do that well, and can also be mailed to employees' homes so their spouses can be educated, too.

Thank you for helping us prepare this valuable tool!"

Diane Walsh, Director, Human Resources
Tegal Corporation - Petaluma, CA

"Working with [Total Rewards Software] was a great experience. They were responsive to our needs, providing a quality product on time and within budget. Employee response to the year-end statements was very positive. I couldn't have asked for more."

A. John Lamantia, Vice President, Human Resources
WestFarm Foods - Seattle, WA

"We were very pleased with our interactions with the [Total Rewards Software] staff during the preparation for our online benefits statements for our employees and also with the final results. During the preparation phase we needed to make several significant, unanticipated changes and found the [TRS] staff very cooperative and responsive. After we launched the online statements we received numerous compliments from our employees about the ease of online access; the simple, easy to understand format; and also the impact of seeing the magnitude of the companies 'unseen' contributions to their total compensation. Having used hardcopy format at prior companies this was our first experience with the online version and it proved to be much more popular with our employees."

Greg Martin, Senior Director of Human Resources
Jamcracker, Inc. - Cupertino, CA

"What I enjoy most about working with the staff at [TRS] is that they continually strive to produce the best product, keeping our company's goals and objectives in mind. Not only do they listen to what our needs are during the heat of our annual benefit statement project, but they also contact us throughout the remainder of the year with ideas on ways to improve what is already a superb statement.

The staff's organizational skills enable them to facilitate their projects with clarity and punctuality. The volume of data required to complete a benefit statement project can be tremendous. I cannot be more appreciative of [TRS's] ability to streamline the process to very manageable steps. It is a pleasure working with people as dedicated as they are, not only to the success of [TRS], but also to Teichert."

Robin Taylor, Human Resources Representative
A. Teichert & Son, Inc. - Sacramento, CA

"Whenever you choose a new product and service provider you never really know if it is going to be a successful venture or not. I am happy to report that our three-year venture with [Total Rewards Software] of providing our employees with a personalized Total Compensation and Benefits Statement has exceeded our expectations. What started out as a simple but important annual communication piece has turned into an extremely effective and valuable on-demand, recruiting tool for prospective employees as well. [TRS's] excellent product exemplifies their attention to detail and understanding of our desire for excellence. I highly recommend [TRS] to any organization!"
