The challenge

Generic HR benchmarking doesn’t fit your organization’s unique needs

Optimizing employee benefits requires relevant data for your sector, geography, and demographics—and the tools to analyze and understand that information. One-size-fits-all approaches don’t capture the best opportunities for better recruiting and cost management.

The solution

Comprehensive benefits benchmarking

Milliman HigherEDGE is built to support the distinctive needs of individual sectors. Gain actionable insights based on deep, current data. Build a sound strategy and execute it with confidence, with the option to engage Milliman experts for in-depth benefit consulting.

For your sector

Designed with you in mind

For public-sector employers

HigherEDGE accounts for differing demographics of the public sector compared to the private sector. Using a demographic profile that accurately depicts the public-employee population, HigherEDGE can analyze benefits whether they are provided through an employer plan, a state plan, or a trust or pool.

For higher-education employers

Milliman appreciates the significance of tuition assistance benefits and treats them as a core component of a benefits package. Because faculty and staff tend to reflect different demographics and, in some cases different benefit programs, HigherEDGE addresses this by running analysis separately for these groups. With the understanding that some public institutions participate in state benefit programs, HigherEDGE can collect and integrate state retirement, health, and welfare plans into the overall analysis, while also accurately evaluating institutions that opt out of social security.
