Mercer Marsh Benefits

Multinational benefits

Creating a globally consistent, locally relevant, and digitally driven international benefits program can help reduce your administrative burdens and provide your employees with a valued health and well-being benefits experience.

Tailored, cost-effective benefits programs that engage employees

Multinational organisations are rethinking their approach to managing their global benefits, from program design to governance and administration. The need for a strong global structure, with the ability to tailor benefits for simple and agile local execution and employee engagement, has never been greater.

As employers of all sizes expand their operations globally, they need to look at the scope and level of benefits they provide for their increasingly diverse and mobile workforces. This includes understanding the range of health and well-being risks present in each location and their impact on employee productivity and engagement.

Many organisations pay the price for a fragmented, ‘multiple-national’ approach to benefits broking. In fact, 81% of multinational benefits leaders say ‘global consistency’ is their number one priority according to Mercer’s Benefits Tech Trends report.

MMB Multinational brings you the best of our global benefits management to help you unlock a world of benefits, make better, data-driven decisions, automate administration, and deliver a benefits experience your employees truly value.

Appropriate strategies for each country can be bundled under regional and global arrangements to reduce workload, maximise financial impact, and ensure consistency in governance. We will work together and be guided by insights from your data: reviewing your costs, benchmarking them, and suggesting improvements to maximise what your budget can deliver.
