CLEVELAND, WI – Lakeshore College’s participation in Gallagher’s 2024 U.S. Benefits Strategy & Benchmarking Survey resulted in the college getting recognized for a second consecutive year as a Best-in-Class Employer. Such organizations are determined by Gallagher to be excelling in implementing effective strategies for managing people, benefits, and programs.
 
“This achievement reflects Lakeshore’s dedication to thoughtfully planning, developing, and implementing comprehensive benefits and human resources programs. By prioritizing the well-being of our team members, we show how much we value them and strengthen our college’s success in serving our students and community,” says Lakeshore President Dr. Paul Carlsen.
 
According to Gallagher, designations such as Best-in-Class Employer help current and prospective employees understand and appreciate an organization’s workplace culture and people strategy, which can be important factors as employers compete for talent in today’s labor market.
 
Gallagher assigned points to participating employers’ performance in areas including wellbeing strategies, turnover rate for full-time equivalents, completion of a workforce engagement survey, technology sophistication, and difference in healthcare costs over the prior year.
