Design Plans That Match Your Business Strategies
Backed by an impressive record of innovation and research, Watson Wyatt helps connect your retirement plans to your business strategies.
Retirement benefits mean more than retirement income for your employees. They help attract and retain high performers and motivate your workforce to pursue your business objectives. But they also present a wealth of challenges.
Watson Wyatt can help you work through the critical issues. We help balance your obligations to employees and investors with defined benefit and defined contribution programs that support your business strategies.
Groundbreaking Solutions and Research:
We are innovators in plan design because we know that no one design fits all your retirement objectives. We start by analyzing demographic trends so that your retirement programs will meet your needs — today and 10 years from now. Then we create flexible and unique solutions that help you meet your financial and human capital objectives. Recently, we developed a new plan design, Stable Value, that combines the best of aspects of defined benefit and defined contribution plans, and helps minimize financial risks.
We reinforce our solutions with extensive research into emerging benefit and workforce trends. For example, our research into defined contribution plans led to the discovery that targeted communication can play as great a role as the employer match in boosting savings and participation in 401(k) plans. Recently we discovered that cutting back or freezing defined benefit plans can encourage top performers to leave and adversely affect turnover costs. And our COMPARISON database helps us evaluate the competitiveness of your past and future benefits programs by drawing on a database of plan provisions for more than 1,300 U.S. employers.
