CLEVELAND, WI —
Lakeshore Technical College participated in Gallagher’s 2023 U.S. Benefits Strategy & Benchmarking Survey and was identified as an organization that excelled in implementing successful strategies for managing people and programs. Lakeshore was recognized for its comprehensive framework for strategically investing in benefits, compensation, and employee communication to support the health, financial security, and career growth of its employees at a sustainable cost structure.
According to Gallagher, designations such as Best-in-Class Employer help current and potential employees understand and appreciate an organization’s workplace culture and people strategy, which can be important differentiators as employers compete for talent in today’s labor market.
“To address high employee expectations in this continuously challenging labor market, we routinely examine our formula for attracting, onboarding, and retaining talent and adjust as needed to reflect what is valued in the market,” said Lakeshore President Dr. Paul Carlsen. “It is an honor to be recognized for the success we are seeing by providing employees with competitive benefits and experiences.”
Gallagher assigned points based on participating employers’ relative performance in areas including benefits and compensation strategies, workforce engagement survey participation, full-time employee turnover rate, the difference in healthcare costs over the prior year, and others.
