National Staffing, Recruiting, Culture Firm Expands Suite of Service Offerings with Employee Benefits
CHICAGO – LaSalle Network, a national staffing, recruiting and culture firm headquartered in Chicago, announces the launch of LaSalle Benefits, a tech-enabled insurance brokerage firm that focuses on employee benefits for small and midsize companies.
A sister company to LaSalle Network, LaSalle Benefits is led by Bill Gimbel, a 25-year veteran in the benefits brokerage space. Bill started his career at HUB International, among the world’s largest insurance brokerage firms, before leading the benefits practice at a boutique firm.
LaSalle Network surveyed more than 1,000 CEOs, CFOs and CHROs regarding benefits, and found that less than 20 percent of respondents were content with their relationship with their benefits broker.
“In conducting this study, we identified the need for improved relationships between companies and their benefits brokerage firms,” said Tom Gimbel, founder and CEO of LaSalle Network. “It is a natural progression for our business. Now we can help companies recruit great people and retain them with the right benefits. We understand the ‘people’ aspect from a 360-perspective: people, culture and benefits.”
LaSalle Benefits will serve the areas of professional services, technology, manufacturing and distribution, and financial services.
“This partnership will allow us to better service existing and future clients with a more holistic understanding of company culture and how benefits play a role in retaining top talent,” said Bill Gimbel, president and managing partner of LaSalle Benefits.
LaSalle Benefits is located at 40 Skokie Blvd., Suite 240, Northbrook, IL 60062. For more information on LaSalle Benefits, please visit lasallebenefits.com, or contact Bill Gimbel at 312-635-8950 or benefitsteam@lasallebenefits.com.
