One of the most valued benefits of ERIC membership is the superb quality of government relations advocacy. ERIC enables us to impact benefit and compensation legislation and regulations that no single employer could do on its own. The professional credibility and respect ERIC has with government officials at all levels has added value to our relationships with members of Congress and federal regulatory officials.

ERIC is the premier association for representing the employee benefits interests of large employers. With their deep and current expertise and relationships, they provide the right information and context to influence policies at the federal, state and local level. As a large multi-state employer, we and our employees are negatively impacted by the proliferation of state and local laws impacting benefits, particularly time off. ERIC is the one organization I trust to be able to represent our interests and impact policy in the benefits area. We’ve seen firsthand positive impact of their advocacy and lobbying.

We value our membership because ERIC takes a proactive view to influence what will happen. Some organizations help make sense of what has happened, while ERIC is the only organization that I know of proactively influencing what is going to happen on behalf of large employers.
