Benefits Valuation Survey

Participation in the Mercer benefits database through the Benefits Valuation Survey opens the door to an array of information designed to help you pinpoint potential changes in benefit plans. Data can be submitted anytime during the year and at your convenience. Within 2-3 weeks your information is in the data set and you can begin in-depth benchmarking analysis. Three participation options:

Complete a full questionnaire in PDF format
Update your current benefits through imercer.com

First time participants and returning participants who renew data each year will receive two valuable reports FREE:

Benefits Plan Valuation Comparison – This new report shows industry peer group values as a whole.
Spotlight on Benefits – A snapshot of the trends and prevalence of key plan features for all organizations in the database.

The information collected from the Benefits Valuation Survey is the foundation for our benefits database and tracks extensive data on the major types of employee benefit plans, including retirement/savings, health and welfare, time loss, and work/life benefits. Including more than 1,300 US organizations, the database covers organizations across industries and sizes.

First time participants – submit benefits

Adding your organization to the database is easy and has no cost. If you are a first time participant, complete the Mercer Benefits Database Enrollment Form and email your Summary Plan Descriptions (SPDs). If you prefer not to send your SPDs, you can complete a full questionnaire.
