CASE STUDY |  GLOBAL PENSIONS ADMINISTRATOR

A retirement experience that cut cost and unlocked growth.

Risk

WTW’s closed defined benefit books are a pure cost-to-serve problem. Paper-heavy retirement journeys were expensive to run and eroding member confidence at the moment that mattered.

Decision

We redesigned the retirement journey around the job members were actually trying to do, and built it on a platform that wouldn't be locked to the closing book.
