   Ann Ashley, senior vice president of human resources at the Biltmore Co., said her office does not use terms like domestic partner. Instead, they refer to people as being part of a family or part of a household.
   
   "We do not extend health care to household members unless those household members are family," she said. "The relationship by family as it is defined by law is a very secure one."
   
   She said it hasn't been much of an issue that they don't offer this benefit. "I've been in HR now for about eight years, and I've heard it mentioned a couple times," she said.

   Ann Ashley, a human resources officer for the Biltmore Company in Asheville, offered advice on how her company keeps its insurance rates down. She said the company, which operates the famed Biltmore House and Gardens, focused on wellness in the workplace and home, health fairs, and employee programs that promoted weight loss, vaccination and personal responsibility.
   
   By focusing on health awareness, the company has kept its insurance rate increases to two percent per year over the last three years, during a period when most companies are seeing double-digit percentage increases. Ashley expects no increase next year.
