NEW YORK - Mercer, a business of Marsh McLennan (NYSE:MMC), a prominent player in the insurance industry with a market capitalization of nearly $99 billion, announced on Thursday the introduction of two new AI-powered platforms designed to help organizations better understand their workforce dynamics. According to InvestingPro data, the company has demonstrated strong financial health with consistent profitability and steady revenue growth of 9.2% over the last twelve months.
The company launched Workforce Insights, a platform that provides organizations with comprehensive talent landscape analysis using benchmarks across more than 100 countries and 20,000 organizations. The tool allows human resources practitioners to compare metrics against industry standards and identify emerging trends.
Alongside Workforce Insights, Mercer introduced Aida (Artificial Intelligence Digital Assistant), an AI assistant integrated within its Talent All Access Portal. Both platforms feature chat-based interfaces that enable HR teams to ask questions in natural language and receive data-driven responses.
"By introducing AI platforms and assistants, we are empowering clients to interact with our data in a more dynamic and intuitive way," said Pat Tomlinson, Mercer’s President and CEO, in the press release.
