The University of Toledo is recognized as a U.S. Best-in-Class Employer by Gallagher, a global insurance brokerage, risk management and consulting firm.
UToledo participated in Gallagher’s 2023 U.S. Benefits Strategy & Benchmarking Survey, which profiles top-performing midsize and large employers. Gallagher interprets its data to identify participants that excel in optimizing employee and organizational well-being, assigning points based on relative performance in categories like plan horizons for benefits and compensation strategies, turnover rate for full-time equivalent employees and difference in healthcare costs over the prior year.
Best-in-Class Employers are recognized for their comprehensive frameworks for strategically investing in benefits, compensation, retirement and employee communication to support the health, financial security and career growth of their employees at a sustainable cost structure.
Mark Bercheni is the senior director of Total Rewards within UToledo Human Resources. Total Rewards is the compilation of pay and the monetary value of health benefits, training, paid leaves, educational benefits, retirement contributions and more that the University invests in its employees.
“We’re pleased to be recognized by as a Best-in-Class Employer,” Bercheni said. “A comprehensive and competitive package is important to attracting and supporting high-quality employees, and we strive to offer top-notch value for ours with offerings like tuition waiver benefits for employees, spouses and eligible dependent children and a tiered medical benefits package that allows employees to enjoy discounts on services through The University of Toledo Medical Center.”
