At Mercer, we believe in brighter — we redefine the world of work, reshape retirement and investment outcomes, and unlock real health and well-being. Founded in Vancouver, Canada in 1945, we have spent over 80 years helping our clients, colleagues, and communities build the confidence to thrive, creating healthier and more sustainable futures. Today, as a business of Marsh McLennan, we operate in more than 130 countries with over 25,000 colleagues spanning 43+ countries worldwide. We are the world's largest investment advisory firm, with over US$300 billion in outsourced assets under management and US$16 trillion under advisement in total. Our three principal lines of business — Health, Wealth, and Career — work together to advance the health, wealth, and performance of the most vital asset any organization has: its people. Whether we are designing employee benefits programs, advising pension fund trustees on asset allocation, or helping companies restructure their workforces through a merger, we bring trusted advice, proprietary data, and technology-driven solutions to every engagement. We work with clients across all industries and geographies — from Fortune 500 corporations and sovereign wealth funds to midsize businesses and public-sector agencies — always balancing economics and empathy to find solutions that benefit both people and the bottom line.

We are problem solvers, team players, strong communicators, and keen observers — all passionate about making a difference in people's lives. Our 25,000+ colleagues are distributed across the globe, with major hubs in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. We are credentialed actuaries, investment professionals, HR technologists, benefits specialists, and talent strategists who bring local relevance and global perspective to every client we serve. Our culture is built around our shared values — integrity, inclusion, and a relentless commitment to building brighter futures for our clients, our communities, and each other.

We help organizations meet the health, wealth, and career needs of a changing workforce. In Health, we advise employers on designing and managing healthcare and employee benefit programs — from medical plan design and wellness strategy to benefits administration and Medicaid consulting. In Wealth, we help organizations with retirement plan design, actuarial services, pension risk management, investment consulting, and Outsourced CIO (OCIO) services. In Career, we support workforce transformation through talent management, rewards and compensation strategy, executive remuneration, organizational design, skills-based practices, and HR effectiveness. We also provide dedicated M&A advisory services — helping organizations manage the people side of deals from diligence through post-close integration.

We believe in building brighter futures — providing trusted advice and solutions, and building healthier and more sustainable outcomes for our clients, colleagues, and communities. By turning ideas into actions that spark positive change, we help you enrich employees' lives and careers, and drive innovation, progress, and performance.

Our values reflect who we are and support our mission of building brighter futures by finding new and better ways to help our clients, colleagues, and communities thrive. We balance economics and empathy in our approach — working side by side with clients to find solutions that benefit both people and business. We hold ourselves to a high standard of integrity, inclusion, and collaboration in all that we do.

Clients choose Mercer when they want strategic advice as well as flawless administration and execution of their HR programs, and when they need best-practice solutions tailored to their business and environment — with both global and local perspectives. We maintain our edge through a combination of unmatched scale (with proprietary global data from the world's largest compensation and benefits surveys), specialized expertise (credentialed actuaries, investment professionals, and certified HR consultants), and the integration of solutions that link health, wealth, and career insights into a single coherent people strategy. As the world's largest investment advisory firm and the leading global HR consultancy, we bring a depth and breadth of capability that few can match.

At Mercer, we believe organizations want and need to ensure sustainability is at the heart of business transformation — from company purpose, work standards, and investment strategies to environmental impact and supply chain standards. We advise clients on integrating ESG into their business scorecards and tying executive compensation to ESG results. Our research and thought leadership on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) topics help organizations move from compliance to genuine sustainable transformation. We advocate that only when companies are sustainable at their core will they be equipped to achieve the goals their stakeholders expect.

Mercer gives back to local communities through the Mercer Cares Business Resource Group, a global programme that encourages Mercer employees to volunteer year-round. Our colleagues have access to mentorship and community-focused volunteering initiatives, supported by clients and non-profit organisations. We recognise employees who help local communities through volunteer recognition programmes. With the assistance of Marsh McLennan, Mercer Cares partners with non-profit organisations to create and implement initiatives that focus on education and disaster preparedness and recovery.

At Mercer, organisational focus on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) has evolved from a 'nice to have' to a business imperative. Consumers, investors, communities, and talent are now seeking out companies that are making progress on social sustainability measures — moving the needle on the 'S' of ESG, which has DEI at its heart. When leaders proactively work to advance equality, they see improvements in their bottom lines, greater employee engagement, and stronger innovation from diverse teams. We embed DEI into our own culture and help clients do the same — from pay equity analysis and inclusive benefits design to diverse talent acquisition and leadership development programmes.
