Work-Life Balance That Truly Matters

Remote work was new to me when I joined GB, and it has been life changing. At this stage of my career, flexibility is invaluable. Management understands that integrating family life with work makes us better professionals.

During my time here, I relocated, moved my parents in with me, and cared for my mom through her battle with Alzheimer’s. The flexibility I had to do my job while being there for her meant the world to me.

A Culture of Collaboration

The culture here is collaborative. We handle claims across diverse sectors: healthcare, cyber, construction, etc.

We meet weekly to share insights and strategies. Everyone is willing to help, share their knowledge on case values, venues, attorneys, and strategies for resolution. That openness not only helps me grow but also adds real value for our clients.

What Surprised Me Most

I wondered if working for a large corporation would make me feel like just another cog in the machine. Instead, I’ve found that what I do truly matters. My role impacts client service and team performance and hearing positive feedback from clients is incredibly rewarding.

Gallagher Bassett does a great job of showing how our division contributes to the bigger picture, and that makes me proud of the work we do.

Equal Opportunity Employer

Gallagher believes that all persons are entitled to equal employment opportunity and prohibits any form of discrimination by its managers, employees, vendors or customers based on race, color, religion, creed, gender (including pregnancy status), sexual orientation, gender identity (which includes transgender and other gender non-conforming individuals), gender expression, hair expression, marital status, parental status, age, national origin, ancestry, disability, medical condition, genetic information, veteran or military status, citizenship status, or any other characteristic protected (herein referred to as “protected characteristics”) by applicable federal, state, or local laws. Equal employment opportunity will be extended in all aspects of the employer-employee relationship, including, but not limited to, recruitment, hiring, training, promotion, transfer, demotion, compensation, benefits, layoff, and termination. In addition, Gallagher will make reasonable accommodations to known physical or mental limitations of an otherwise qualified person with a disability, unless the accommodation would impose an undue hardship on the operation of our business.

Third Party Recruiters

Search firms, consulting firms, or individuals who submit unsolicited resumes acknowledge that those resumes are available for Gallagher's consideration without any obligation to pay finder/referral fees. Gallagher, or any of its subsidiaries, will only pay a fee for a successful candidate placement when there is an agreement in place with the providing entity and the candidate submission complies with the regional guidelines for such submissions.

Avoid Phishing Scams

Gallagher never extends an offer of employment or requests any personal identification information without having received an online application and conducted one or more in-person or video interviews. We also do not use Skype, Zoom, Telegram or Gmail as part of our hiring process. If you have received any communication referencing the offer of a job at Gallagher and you have not submitted an online application or been interviewed by a Gallagher employee, please do not assume that the offer is being sent from a legitimate Gallagher representative.
