Global benefits management
One coordinated programme for your international workforce
We help international organisations manage their benefits strategy, stay on top of compliance and see their whole programme in one place.
We act as your lead adviser, and our local broker partners place and service cover in each country.
Why employers move to a coordinated programme
The challenge
How a coordinated programme helps
Fragmented servicing
Different brokers, insurers, renewal dates and contacts in each country.
One lead adviser and one set of processes, so HR spends less time juggling territories and contacts.
Limited visibility
No single picture of premiums, claims, or where the gaps and duplications sit.
A single, consistent view of premiums and policy details across every country, so you can compare like for like.
Inconsistent cover
Benefits often vary widely from country to country, leaving gaps in cover across your international footprint.
A global minimum standard gives staff a consistent offer wherever they work, which helps you attract and keep people.
Governance exposure
Local regulations vary and change often, so it is hard to keep on top of every country.
Our local partners check each policy against local regulation, and we check it against your global standards, so your HR team has less to keep track of.
What we help with
Global strategy and design
Aligning benefits with your reward and people strategy. We agree global principles, minimum standards and where local flexibility applies. We then benchmark each country against local market practice to keep your benefits competitive.
Governance and compliance
Clear policies, documentation and reporting you can use for internal governance. Our local partners check each policy against local regulation, and we check it against your global standards.
Data and reporting
A standardised reporting dashboard and consistent quotation templates, supported by local market insights. Compare premiums and policy details country by country, and use the data to target cost savings and preventative initiatives.

Meet Nathan Dewhurst
Your lead adviser for global benefits
“Rising regulatory risk and the need to remove regional disparities are driving the need to act now. A unified global mandate mitigates risk and standardises approach, protecting compliance and reputational risks.
Standardising global benefits typically has a cost benefit too. Many of the programmes we redesign generate significant cost efficiencies by removing financial waste.”
