About Us
Company History
When the public sector needs support of its own, it turns to Gehring Group, a Risk Strategies Company. Founded by Kurt Gehring in 1992, Gehring Group specializes in Employee Group Benefits, Risk Management Services, and Human Resources Solutions. Since the beginning, the company’s guiding principle has been addressing the needs and goals of public sector entities, including, cities, counties, towns, villages, special taxing districts, school districts, colleges and universities, law enforcement and fire districts.
Gehring Group’s focus has always been clear: tailor solutions to each client’s unique needs as Gehring Group recognizes that benefits programs are not one-size-fits-all. Gehring Group has built a reputation for their service-centered approach, providing unparalleled expertise and services.
In 2020, we introduced Geraldine, our iconic blue giraffe, inspired by our commitment to serving both our community and our clients who bravely go the extra mile for theirs.
In 2022, Gehring Group partnered with Risk Strategies, a leading national specialty insurance brokerage and risk management firm, to lead their National Public Sector Specialty Practice.
Our Headquarters
Gehring Group is headquartered in beautiful Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, with satellite offices throughout the state, enabling us to provide solutions to all insurance markets. We are an accomplished brokerage and consulting agency offering a full array of Employee Benefits and Risk Management broker/consulting services, actuarial services, claims data analysis, plan administration, legislative, compliance and custom communication services. We represent all carriers and hold no interest or ownership in any insurer or TPA, emphasizing our independent status and further supporting our mission to provide best in class services.
Strategic Partnerships
Gehring Group works hard to deliver an unparalleled level of client service and industry expertise in an ever-changing industry. Through the years, this in-depth industry knowledge has lent itself to the development of key relationships with other entities, creating a working dynamic that plays the strengths of each party, which in turn, creates better solutions for our clients.
These partnerships include groups like Bentek, a leading benefits administration technology provider optimized for the public sector. Thanks to partnerships like these, Gehring Group can provide customized technology solutions beyond our competitors while simultaneously saving your company money, time and frustration.
Thank you so much for leading us through the True Colors Workshop. We learned a great deal, and it definitely helped us galvanize our team. Your facilitation skills are top-notch! Your office also helped us communicate how vital the spaces in which we work are in communicating the organization's mission, vision, and values. Our team loved being there (and, of course, everyone wants a kitchen like yours)!
Carolyn S. Stone, Deputy Town Manager-Business Enterprise and Culture
Town of Palm BeachI want to thank you and the entire Gehring Team for another value packed Public Sector Summit! The caregiving theme was relevant and struck a chord with me. I wish I had the resources, tools, and ability to openly discuss my challenges with caregiving when I needed it the most. It is extremely impactful for people to share their personal experiences and stories. The vulnerability and courage to do so is what really reaches the audience and the Gehring Team delivered!
Lori McCullers, Deputy HR Director/Risk Manager
City of NaplesI want to let you know how happy we are working with the Gehring Team. Your staff has been extremely helpful to Kathy and I during the last few months efficiently handling multiple requests. Your staff is very responsive and strives to make our jobs easier. They have also been a tremendous asset refreshing communication materials and is leading the way to develop our Open Enrollment presentations. I know the next month will be busy with many employee meetings, but I have confidence we will be successful thanks to our partnership with the Gehring Group. Please share my appreciation with your team and let them know how much we value their ongoing support of our account.

City of Coral SpringsThe Village of Tequesta holds its employees to the highest standards and we could not have done a better job finding the high caliber of employees on the Gehring Group’s team if we had hired them ourselves. They bring their A-game every day and their combined wealth of knowledge, experience, integrity, empathy and accountability provide our organization with a sense of comfort and confidence that is near impossible to replicate.
