The WRG publishes Weekly Highlights to Mercer Select and distributes it by e-mail every Monday.
Need research on what employers are doing to control health care costs, how many employers are freezing their DB plans, or what the top M&A deals were last year?
Select members can save time – and gain access to our vast collection of proprietary resources – by asking a Mercer expert researcher to prepare a customized report, with the relevant resources, responding to your inquiry. Special hourly rates and copyright/licensing release charges may apply.
