Houston, TX. [Dec. 2, 2022] Empyrean, (www.goempyrean.com), a leading technology and service-centric employee benefits administration provider, has announced that Tim Purkis has joined the organization as Director of Sales, Public Sector.
“Tim joins us with over 15 years of deep industry experience, specifically helping organizations in the public sector solve their benefits-related challenges,” said Mike Lee, Empyrean’s VP, Sales. “Public enterprises face many obstacles not experienced by private entities, and these are issues that Tim has vast experience in solving.”
The majority of Purkis’ career has included time spent in sales positions of increasing responsibility with companies like Businessolver, Vimly, Mass Mutual, and Benefitfocus, acting as a true partner and advisor throughout the benefits lifecycle and journey.
Purkis has helped countless state and local municipalities, higher education institutions, public school districts, and other entities solve unique benefits-related challenges faced by organizations in the public sector.
“Empyrean has a rich history of surpassing client expectations and with a clear focus on the public sector space, the sky is the limit,” added Purkis. “Our very high retention rate and even higher NPS score (especially on the implementation side) give me a great amount of confidence in our ability to deliver on our clients’ needs.”
Purkis joins Empyrean during a time of accelerated growth, as the organization continues to add new clients across the west coast and all U.S. markets. Amidst this growth, Empyrean has launched several new and enhanced offerings, including customized microsite capabilities and an upgrade to their mobile app, EmpyreanGO.
Recently, Empyrean launched a free, interactive online Benefits Maturity Assessment designed to help HR and Benefits leaders understand the full impact of their benefits function. Derived from data collected in an Empyrean-sponsored research study conducted by HR analyst firm NelsonHall, the assessment measures the sophistication of a benefit function against five key indicators identified in their joint research.
Tim earned a B.S. from Utah State University and an M.A. from the University of Phoenix. He resides in California with his wife and four sons. Tim and his wife are passionate volunteers, and in 2005 founded Friends of NICU, a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to providing the financial resources necessary to help parents of NICU patients spend more time with their babies.
