1. Marsh & McLennan provides countless opportunities to learn and grow.

With more than 76,000 colleagues across the globe and clients in more than 130 countries, Marsh and McLennan is a world-class organization where colleagues challenge each other to push further, think smarter and love what they’re doing together. Development and engagement is also encouraged across the colleague population, in which resources and tools are provided to enable colleagues to upskill themselves.

2. Resource groups unite Marsh & McLennan colleagues and communities around the globe.

These groups provide colleagues with the resources and tools to learn about how they can be better allies to each other and excel together. They provide a backbone for an inclusive culture at Marsh and McLennan by providing powerful business networks and enabling colleagues to have the confidence to bring their whole self to work.

3. Marsh & McLennan supports its colleagues.

Marsh and McLennan enables colleagues to have the flexibility they need to do their job effectively and properly prioritize their personal lives, as evidenced by the average rating of 5 (out of 5) on Fairygodboss in this area. 

Additionally, Marsh and McLennan provides rewards and benefits intended to help colleagues enjoy happy, healthy and secure lives — including competitive pay and exceptional benefits. Throughout the unprecedented year of 2020, Marsh and McLennan pledged to support colleagues through the thick of the pandemic, going as far as to establish an Employee Assistance Program for any colleagues facing financial hardships during this difficult time. This is a testament to how the company aims to support colleagues and their families physically, mentally and financially.

 4. Diversity & Inclusion are a top priority.

In 2020, Marsh and McLennan was awarded one of the best places to work for LGBTQ Equality by the Human Rights Campaign and was included in Bloomberg’s Gender Equality Index. Amy Huang, a Senior Manager for Onsite Technical Support at Marsh and McLennan says “diversity and inclusion unlock potential and create a space where talent can thrive,” which is something she has found while working at Marsh and McLennan.

The company has also taken bold action to take a stand against racial injustice and established a Race Advisory Council to meet with the Executive Committee on a regular basis. CEO Dan Glaser sets D&I measures to hold the company accountable and “lead the change we want to see.” In addition, the company will implement mandatory training on unconscious bias, allyship and inclusive leadership for every leader and manager.

5. Marsh & McLennan thrives on a culture of integrity.

Executives encourage all colleagues to live The Greater Good, which focuses on three key pillars that define success at Marsh and McLennan: win with integrity, know that you are never alone and speak up if something is not right. These culminate into a culture that is committed to the fundamental principles of human dignity, equality and mutual respect, all of which are demonstrated through the company’s dedication to giving back. 

Marsh and McLennan provides colleagues with paid time off to give back through non-profit community service. For reference, in 2018, colleagues spent more than 200,000 hours volunteering in 45 countries. Colleagues can be proud to work for a company that is committed to making a difference.
