Testimonial
"The agents at Gallagher did a painless policy audit for us, proving their expertise in the private school market by making some great coverage recommendations and showing us how we were overpaying based on a benchmark of their private school clients. Not only has switching to Gallagher saved us money to put toward campus improvements, it has enhanced our risk management by improving our coverage."

Claims Examples
A school employee lost their laptop which contained names, social security numbers and personal information for all of their students. The school was required to notify and monitor the credit of all individuals that may have been affected.

A school decided to switch to cloud computing, soon after, they realized the enrollment data stored in the cloud is no longer there. The school had to hire specialists to help recreate the data.

Gallagher’s 2019 Benefits Strategy & Benchmarking Survey for K-12 Education identified these priorities for managing benefits in K-12 schools:

  • Scholastic employers are slowly gaining ground on opportunities to improve total rewards strategies as they gravitate away from HR inefficiencies and toward best practices applied both within and outside the sector. This includes the greater use of HR technology.
  • In response to shifting employee demographics and expectations, employers are reexamining traditional benefit approaches and turning to more contemporary medical benefits design that builds in cost-control tactics and analytic tools.
  • By identifying workforce needs and creating programs to fit them, K-12 employers can continually improve the employee experience. Workforce assessment, benchmarking and thoughtful funding strategies help build sustainable retirement programs that support employees’ financial security, now and in the future.
