New valuation product/service will be officially launched in August

16 Mercer Benefits project opportunities Benefits Plan Design  Review current programs to identify if they are value for money and to determine where immediate cost savings can be achieved through cost- sharing, eligibility, coverage and scope changes.  Benchmark plans to ensure that they are not more generous than they need to be and remove coverage for luxury items.  Consider more cost-sharing or limits for inpatient and outpatient expenses to help save money while providing employees with a financial incentive to manage their own health care costs. Evaluate harmonization of benefits where multiple operations/entities exist in one country with different benefit designs.  Review local plan design to ensure it is in line with your regional benefit strategy. Cost savings are available when inconsistencies are removed and benefits are restructured to a more sustainable level.

17 Mercer  Conduct an analysis on the key benefit plan cost drivers to identify the underlying root cause.  Understand how to use your health management program to contain costs, improve productivity and impact positively on talent management.  Put your current health management measures under the microscope to determine the gaps and inefficiencies in your current program.  Determine the health risks in your employee population.  Assess the ability of your health and wellness measures to cope with those risks.  Create an integrated health and wellness program that addresses the main risks in your employee population. Benefits project opportunities Health Risk Management

18 Mercer Benefits project opportunities / wins Case Study A US based multinational with a large operation in India was facing rising health plan cost increases of 45% per year with little incentive for employees to manage costs. Additionally there were significant gaps in coverage based on employee needs/health risk; however given the economic down turn there was no budget to add new components. Mercer developed and is implementing a 3 year plan with short, medium and long term cost containment/health risk management elements which will generate immediate savings of USD$1,000,000. Mercer was able to achieve this by: – Facilitating the development of an integrated benefit and health strategy; – Identifying spend that did not support organisational objectives; – Redesigning the employee benefit program to refocus monies/resources from treatment to prevention through plan design – Introducing and implementing a positive health program – Identifying a strategy to make employees smarter consumers of health care – Identifying ROI metrics
