In fact, the Aflac WorkForces Report finds that among organizations offering supplemental insurance, 50% report that it helps with employee recruitment, and 60% report that it helps with employee retention. The survey also finds that employers look to benefits consultants, agents or brokers to help determine the best options for their business.

Does the size and scale of your benefits broker matter? You bet it does. Marsh McLennan/Mercer is the world’s largest insurance broker and as such, commands access to resources, intellectual capital, market leverage, and capabilities that are simply unmatched by any other firm.

For those companies looking for an unbiased review of their current benefits outlining opportunities for better outcomes, Mercer gives access to the best of both worlds, a boutique-type service with access to Fortune 200 company resources, as outlined here: https://lnkd.in/er2P3qha Given this framework, I’d encourage any company to challenge their broker relative to the outcomes they have driven and their value proposition.
