The staff at Cowden Associates approach their consulting with a high degree of pride and ownership, and
their passion has clients openly commending them as partners in delivering solid results. In providing
quality consulting services to meet the compensation, health and benefits, retirement, actuarial and
technological needs of their clients since 1986, independence and the use of bottom-up strategic
planning define this firm's approach. Younger staff are paired with mentors and incorporated directly in
client planning. Almost all of the 27 employees attend each of the monthly two-hour training sessions
on industry topics, and many employees take advantage of the company's support through financing and
flexible scheduling for further professional development. Employees with family rave about their flextime options, and, as one employee puts it, "above all, it's about autonomy and respect."
