William F. Bladel

Having spent more than forty years in the Health Care and Employee Benefit industries, Bill founded

Integrative Health & Benefit Solutions, LLC with the purpose of sharing his unique multi-disciplinary professional background, perspective and vision that centers around service and a simple concept:

“Organizational Culture … the Foundational Employee Benefit”

Bill believes that there is a significant and reciprocal relationship between Employee Benefits and Organizational Culture and that when structured properly, Employee Benefits can support and enhance an organization’s culture and ultimately, a high-trust Organizational Culture can and should be recognized as an Employee Benefit.

His approach places employees at the center of the employer-customer relationship with a focus on HEALTH – the health and quality-of-life of an organization’s employees, the health of their Organizational Culture and as a result, the health of their customer relationships and ultimately, the health of the organization itself.

Core Beliefs:

That culture is one of the key elements of competitiveness and success since it is the one component of any organization that can never be duplicated by a competitor
That the level and quality of service that an organization is able to provide is a direct reflection of their own organizational culture
That values shape culture and culture drives behavior
That culture must be the result of specific intent rather than the outgrowth of a random hiring process

A graduate of Fairfield University in Fairfield, CT with a BS in Marketing, Bill continued his education and earned the Certified Employee Benefit Specialist (CEBS) designation from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans.

Throughout his broad-based career in the Health Care Provider, Health Insurance Payer and Employee Benefit Broker/Consultant market segments, Bill has actively served in a variety of business development, marketing, sales, product development and strategic planning roles and is recognized for his team-based approach and collaborative leadership style. Most recently, he served as a key member of the leadership team that was responsible for the development, implementation, marketing, sales and oversight of the first Hospital-Based Health Plan of its kind in New Jersey.

Bill, his wife Patti and their three married sons and grandchildren all reside in central New Jersey.

Gary Eskin

As a business owner of three very profitable companies, Gary experienced the joys and frustrations of owning a business. Not knowing where to get the mentoring he needed, he enrolled in many classes, attended seminars. What he learned is that applicability and sustainability was lacking in this type of training. Owners, leaders, and managers would go back to the way they always did things after the excitement of the program wore off.

This interaction brought him in touch with community leaders. This lead to involvement and directorships in many community organizations including several Chambers of Commerce, Building Industry Associations and the March of Dimes among others. He also became Small Business Leader of the Year from the University of South Florida among other awards.

Although this interaction helped in the maturity of his businesses, he knew more was needed and started attending Dale Carnegie Courses and eventually became a 7-course instructor and consultant. This evolved to his current practice working with leaders of a variety businesses. He works with them to help transform the business through process development and people development and growth. He believes that it isn’t what you say or do, it’s about how you say and do it.

As a Certified Consultant of High Performing Cultures, Gary uses proven Fundamentals System™ to help companies create, drive, and maintain high-performance cultures to accomplish the above.

With a background as a 30-year training and development leader, Gary also earned his BA from Ohio Northern University, SPHR and CSP- SHRM Certifications. He has several insurance licenses and certifications. In his past life he earned a Certified Lighting Designer designation.
