I recommend that each HARDI member who is reassessing their benefits package examine the program they offer.”
    In this expanded partnership with Behnke, HARDI can now provide its members with the opportunity for savings and a longer term solution to benefits management, according to Frendberg. This service will bring leading edge employee benefit expertise and significant saving opportunities.
