Marsh McLennan Agency offers a wealth of resources through comprehensive wellbeing programs that support whole-person health to proactively support physical, financial, social, and mental wellbeing.

Frequently asked questions

Marsh McLennan Agency has an online resource platform for your employees and plan participants.

Marsh McLennan Agency offers customized short video production (also available in Spanish) that can provide employees with a specific overview of your retirement plan, the benefits of participating and how to get started. Videos can be viewed on the individual’s own time and still provides a vast amount of information typically presented in a formal education format. We can also provide custom materials to promote enrollment and educational meetings and communicate important plan details.

Staying up-to-date with innovative wellbeing solutions within the marketplace will expand our scope in supporting the unique needs of your employees. Key wellbeing trends include mental health educational solutions and trainings to increase mental health literacy and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health in the workplace. Wellbeing engagement solutions that allow remote, hybrid, or onsite employees help keep wellbeing top of mind so they are more productive at work. Lastly, preventive care education coupled with condition management solutions better support individuals proactively managing and navigating identified conditions.

The right employee benefits can enhance your employer brand and aid in talent attraction and retention. Navigating the complexities of benefit trends and regulations impacts both your employees and your bottom line. As an experienced employee benefits consulting firm, Marsh McLennan Agency can translate your business goals into an efficient benefits plan. We leverage years of experience, negotiate with carriers, and follow industry trends to recommend a package that aligns with best practices. Our comprehensive benchmarking data ensures your benefits plan remains compliant with the latest regulatory standards.

An employee benefits consultant keeps a pulse on industry trends and research, including insurance providers and employer legal requirements. However, our consultants go beyond this background work. We closely collaborate with you to assess your business goals, aligning them with employee demographics and survey data. During plan design, we match your needs and budget with market plans, offering guidance and engagement strategies. After implementation, we continuously research, benchmark, and assist in resolving vendor issues to ensure your plan remains effective.

Managing employee benefits can strain your HR team and diminish the employee experience. Modern IT solutions like self-service portals empower employees to review, compare, and enroll in plans independently, reducing HR’s burden while enhancing the user experience. When considering the switch, it’s essential to assess your current IT solutions. Digitized benefits solutions offer data control and innovative functionality, but integrating with legacy systems may impact your transition. Marsh McLennan Agency specialists can guide you in selecting and implementing the right employee benefits solution for your needs.

A group health insurance plan offers employees access to affordable healthcare, improving morale and fostering team spirit. It also enhances talent attraction and retention while bolstering your employer brand. Lower premiums and simplified claims management are additional benefits. Comprehensive coverage is a key advantage, as group health plans typically encompass a range of healthcare services. Moreover, they often cover preexisting conditions and extend coverage to employees’ spouses and children, making them an attractive option for families.

Our best practice in developing a successful organizational wellbeing strategy is to focus on 6 key areas:

  • Leadership commitment to ensure buy in from top leadership as well as middle management
  • Employee engagement solutions
  • Assessment of current programming
  • Development of a 3-5 year strategy
  • Implementation of an annual operational plan
  • Measuring the effectiveness of our wellbeing interventions
