News Towers Watson Forms Strategic Partnership with WageWorks Companies will partner to offer seamless integration of health and welfare administration and account-based health plan services NEW YORK, November 30, 2010 - Towers Watson (NYSE, NASDAQ: TW), a global professional services company, announced today that it has formed a strategic partnership with WageWorks, Inc., the nation's leading provider of account-based health plan services, that will enable employers to leverage both companies' strengths in the administration of health and welfare benefits. The partnership will provide seamless integration of services for employers that outsource their health and welfare benefits administration to Towers Watson, and account-based health plan services - such as flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts, health reimbursement accounts and commuter benefits - to WageWorks. The partnership will enable employers to consolidate their benefits administration services under a unified contract with a single set of service-level agreements to reduce their overall administration costs. It will also allow participants to access and manage their benefits through an integrated participant self-service platform and call center, which will provide a superior and streamlined service experience. "This partnership brings together two leading organizations that share a mutual commitment to providing employers and their employees a best-in-class experience," said Pat Amendola, North America leader of Technology and Administration Solutions at Towers Watson. "We selected WageWorks for its service reputation, leading-edge technology and market leadership.
