About John Eshleman
With proven strengths in Total Rewards/Compensation and Benefits, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise in developing and implementing comprehensive total rewards programs that align with organizational goals and drive employee engagement. I started my career journey as Benefits Consultant and over the period of 20 years while climbing up the success ladder, gathered thorough knowledge of relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards related to total rewards, and experience in employee benefits, compensation, time off plans, and education benefits. As a Director and Manager of Benefits, I have led strategic design, budgeting, compliance, and communication efforts for a $500M benefits program covering medical plans, pharmacy, dental, vision, life insurance, disability, PTO, voluntary benefits, COBRA, wellness, resiliency, tuition reimbursement, student loan repayment, pension, defined contribution plans, deferred compensation, and executive plans for 30K+ employees across several states. My programs have received several awards, including the prestigious 2016 Gold Quill of Excellence in Human Resources from the International Association of Business Communicators and the 2018 Eddy Special Projects Award for outstanding leadership in benefits communication. My reputation as a talented, resourceful, and goal-driven leader with a focus on collaboration, communication, and continuous improvement is demonstrated by my achievements.
