The Total Value of Your Benefits

All of us recognize the importance of health care coverage, life and disability insurance, and saving for the future. And, as you know, A&B goes to great lengths to provide you with these important protections and to offer a variety of programs designed to meet the diverse needs of its employees.

It's also important for you to realize that these benefits represent a significant part of the total compensation you receive from A&B. Details on the Company's contributions are provided elsewhere in your Handbook. An Employee Benefits Statement, outlining the total value of your benefits, is also provided to you each year.

In addition to the actual dollars spent on providing these benefits, A&B makes a significant investment in administering and communicating these benefits so that you can realize their full value—an investment most recently demonstrated by the development of this online Handbook.
