ARLINGTON, VA, April 20, 2021 — Willis Towers Watson (NASDAQ: WLTW), a leading global advisory, broking and solutions company, has been named to the 2021 Global Outsourcing 100® list by the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP). This marks the 10th year Willis Towers Watson has been recognized as one of the best outsourcing providers and advisors in the world.

Willis Towers Watson’s Benefits Outsourcing offers solutions for health and welfare and pension administration and technology to help employers provide a better benefit experience for their employees and retirees. The user-centered approach provides a personalized journey to help employers, employees and retirees navigate the increasingly complex benefits world. The flexible offerings can be delivered within either a traditional or a marketplace environment, or a hybrid of the two.

“We are proud to be recognized for a decade by the IAOP,” said Jason Dalbec, managing director, Benefits Delivery and Administration, Willis Towers Watson. “We see this as a testament to our steadfast commitment to bringing innovative solutions and best-in-class service to our clients around the world.”

Global Outsourcing 100 entrants are judged based on a rigorous scoring methodology that evaluates the excellence of their service delivery; continued innovation to add value for customers; corporate social responsibility measures; and size and growth of their revenue, employees and global presence. Client testimonials are a crucial component in determining the IAOP’s Global Outsourcing 100 list.

For 2021, IAOP has recognized Willis Towers Watson in the categories of Top Customer References, Awards and Certifications, and Programs for Corporate Social Responsibility as well as recognized the company for Sustained Excellence. Additional highlights of Willis Towers Watson’s entry include:

• Commitment to social responsibility as demonstrated by participation in the Insurance Development Forum, a public/private partnership leveraging insurance to build greater resilience and protection for people and communities in areas vulnerable to natural disasters
• Prior recognition of excellence for outsourcing services from the Everest Group in Health & Welfare Benefits Administration Outsourcing Market Report and the IAOP Global Outsourcing 100
• Exceptional customer testimonials highlighting the value of the partnership, comprehensive scope of services and exceptional service quality

“Companies that outsource, not only in the traditional sense but also through the wide array of the ever-changing collaborative business models, are scrutinizing their providers very closely, which is why choosing the right partners is more important than ever,” said Debi Hamill, IAOP CEO. “The Global Outsourcing 100 is the definitive guide to help companies research and compare service providers with whom they are considering relationships. We’re proud to recognize Willis Towers Watson for being among these companies this year.”
