WSI Earns Best-in-Class Recognition for Second Year Running

WSI (Warehouse Specialists, LLC), a prominent player in third-party logistics, has been recognized consecutively as a 2025 Best-in-Class Employer by Gallagher, a global leader in insurance brokerage and risk management. This accolade places WSI among the top 25% of mid-size employers tapped in Gallagher's extensive evaluation of workplace practices, which weighs how well firms measure business success alongside genuine care for their workforce.

This recognition is particularly notable as WSI commemorates its 60th anniversary. With a legacy of six decades in a fast-paced industry, evolving the workforce effectively remains essential for sustaining success in logistics and supply chain. WSI’s low turnover rates, commitment to employee benefits, and a culture deeply rooted in safety and respect have all been pivotal in fostering a workplace where employees feel valued and want to stay.

Brenda Knepper, the VP of Human Resources at WSI, articulates this sentiment well: “Customers choose WSI because we show up consistently, solve problems quickly, and do what we say we’ll do. It requires a workforce that truly cares about what they do. By investing in benefits that care for our people, we further reinforce our employees' commitment to our customers.”

In Gallagher's benchmarking process, organizations are analyzed across multiple dimensions to assess their employer brand objectively. In performing at a high level, WSI excels in:

• - A competitive compensation and benefits strategy that rivals even larger companies.
• - Robust wellbeing initiatives that comprehensively address physical, emotional, and financial health.
• - Strong retention rates that surpass industry averages for full-time employees.
• - Effective engagement strategies that actively measure and respond to workforce sentiment.
• - Advanced HR technology aimed at fostering efficiency while enhancing employee experience.
• - Consistent management of healthcare costs year over year, ensuring sustainable practices.
• - Proactive internal communications that keep employees informed and engaged.

As WSI continues its trajectory of growth, so too does its emphasis on nurturing those who contribute to that growth. This recent recognition from Gallagher marks a significant acknowledgment of WSI’s steadfast commitment to its employees as essential assets of the organization.
