Towers Watson & Co Analyst Notes
On May 13, 2014, Towers Watson & Co (Towers Watson) announced the launch of Global Access - a simplified global benefit solution designed for the multinational marketplace. According to Towers Watson, Global Access allows multinational employers to deliver local-country, prepackaged benefit programs that include life, accident, health and disability, with three fixed, benchmarked benefit levels. It also has a very low minimum head count requirements for coverage, enhanced underwriting features that include higher guaranteed issue or free cover limits, and removal of pre-existing condition requirements for members who have been previously insured. Cecil Hemingway, Leader of Towers Watson's Global Health and Group Benefits practice, remarked, "Multinational companies often struggle with delivering quality employee benefit programs due to insufficient local-country HR functions and little or no availability of local benchmarking data on employee benefit packages. Global Access addresses these challenges head on. We've developed a first-of-its-kind, alternative benefit solution that provides employers with the simplicity of a fully benchmarked 'off the shelf' product that can be implemented within days, while also reducing costs and workload."
