Watson Wyatt Worldwide was formed in 1995 through the alliance of the UK's R Watson & Sons with U.S.-based The Wyatt Company.
Reuben Watson formed the actuarial firm R Watson & Sons in 1878, with an initial client base of friendly societies. By the 1910s the firm was the lead advisor to the government on social insurance schemes, and today it advises nearly half of the UK's 100 largest corporate pension schemes.
In 1946, B.E. Wyatt and seven co-founders established The Wyatt Company as an actuarial consulting firm dealing almost exclusively with defined benefit pension plans. Over the next several decades, the firm branched out into group insurance, savings plans, compensation and full-service defined contribution consulting. In the 1980s, the firm expanded globally, setting up offices in Canada, Europe, Latin America and Asia.
Today, Watson Wyatt Worldwide is a global consulting firm focused on human capital and financial management. We specialize in four areas: employee benefits, human capital strategies, technology solutions, and insurance and financial services. Watson Wyatt has
7,000 associates in
107 offices in 32 countries.
