Recognition for Innovation and Workforce Engagement

We are pleased to share that NELC was recently recognized this past quarter as a 2025 High Performance Employer by Gallagher, our employee benefits broker. This distinction is particularly meaningful because it was awarded following a comprehensive review of NELC's five-year journey to transform our employee benefits strategy, including our innovative transition to an Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA).

This recognition reflects our commitment to providing employees with greater choice and flexibility in their healthcare benefits while maintaining long-term financial sustainability for the cooperative. It is a testament to the thoughtful leadership, innovation, and dedication of our entire team as we continue to invest in both our people and our mission.

NELC’s journey is a model for peer organizations. We invite you to join our virtual program From Volatility to Value on July 16, 2026, from 12-1pm to learn how cost control and a positive employee experience can coexist with an ICHRA model.

Please share this program information with your finance and human resource teams. If you are interested in learning more about the program or registering to attend, please use the link / QR code below:
