Pinehurst Medical Clinic Recognized as a U.S. Best-in-Class Employer for Third Year by Gallagher

Pinehurst Medical Clinic (PMC) participated in Gallagher’s 2023 U.S. Benefits Strategy & Benchmarking Survey and, for the third consecutive year, was identified as an organization that excelled in optimizing employee and organizational wellbeing.

PMC 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. Designations like Gallagher’s Best-in-Class Employer help current and potential employees understand and appreciate an organization’s workplace culture and people strategy; important differentiators as employers compete for talent in a tight labor market.

“Pinehurst Medical Clinic understands that high employee expectations haven’t budged in the changing labor market and have regularly examined their formula to attract and retain talent,” said William F. Ziebell, CEO of Gallagher's Benefits & HR Consulting Division. “In doing so, Pinehurst Medical Clinic utilizes data, workforce feedback tools and clearly defined policies to provide competitive benefits and experiences that their employees value.”

A U.S. Best-in-Class Employer, PMC was assigned points based on its relative performance in:

• Planning horizons for the benefits and compensation strategies
• Extent of their wellbeing strategy
• Turnover rate for full-time equivalents (FTEs)
• Completion of a workforce engagement survey
• Use of an HR technology strategy and its level of sophistication
• Difference in healthcare costs over the prior year
• Use of a communication strategy

"Taking care of our team is critical to ensuring PMC is able to provide the highest quality of care to our patients and the communities we serve," said Brandon Enfinger, Pinehurst Medical Clinic's chief executive officer. "I am inspired every day by our team's commitment to living our organization's mission and reflecting our core values into exceptional patient care and consider it a privilege to lead this best-in-class team."
