Meet Lauren Winans, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal HR Consultant for Next Level Benefits, an HR consulting practice offering clients access to HR professionals for both short-term and long-term projects.
"With 20 years of human resources and employee benefits experience, I possess a deep expertise of HR best practices and what resonates with employees. I founded Next Level Benefits in 2019, offering HR teams access to former corporate HR professionals on-demand when they need them most," Lauren says.
We discuss what it takes to be a great company (and leader) to work for.
"My experiences at various global, multi-generational, geographically dispersed organizations have prepared me well for assisting clients of all sizes and from any industry. Prior to becoming CEO of Next Level Benefits, I served as a senior HR leader and responsibly managed all aspects of health, welfare, absence management, and retirement at General Nutrition Centers, American Eagle Outfitters, and CONSOL Energy. While working for Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, I acquired an extensive knowledge of the health insurance industry," she shares.
Lauren says, "Throughout my career, I have been focused on improving culture and enhancing the total rewards offered at the companies I have worked for and provided guidance to. I am strategically focused yet tactically proficient, and bring a holistic perspective to each client project. "
Lauren is a member of the Business Journals Leadership Trust, a non-profit board member, and an active volunteer for patient advocacy. She is a graduate of Penn State University with a Bachelor of Science in Marketing and Management and Robert Morris University with a Master’s in Business Administration.
