According to recent research undertaken by Mercer, almost half of all New Zealanders will turn to their employer for advice about KiwiSaver, so just making information available to your employees might not be enough. With Mercer as your KiwiSaver provider, you and your employees will receive support and assistance to make informed decisions about KiwiSaver. This could reduce the time you spend answering KiwiSaver related questions. Through Mercer you can offer your employees education services, help them maximise their retirement savings and in turn increase employee loyalty. As a preferred provider, Mercer will help you to implement a KiwiSaver Strategy to help retain your employees.

There are a number of additional benefits of choosing Mercer as your employer-chosen KiwiSaver scheme provider, including:

Simple administration

We will provide you with Welcome Packs for all your new employees, including all the information they need about KiwiSaver. Simply give out these packs to your new employees – and any interested existing employees, and we will do the rest. These packs are provided free of charge and you can request them at any time.

Having your employees spread over several providers may add to the number of queries you will have to deal, so by setting up a preferred scheme provider you can reduce these queries and simplify the administration process.

Regular communications

You can choose to receive our regular Employer Update newsletter which provides all the latest investment returns as well as up-to-date market commentary. The newsletter will also update you on what has been happening at Mercer and key legislation and market information, ensuring you are up to date at all times.

You will also have access to the employer section of our website which provides a range of useful tools and articles, making your KiwiSaver scheme simple and easy to administer.

Dedicated retirement savings focus

Our core business for almost 40 years has been dedicated to retirement savings. Unlike many banks, insurance companies and fund managers we won’t focus on selling you other products. Our Customer Service Team provides personalised support and ensures your company’s needs are met. 

Selecting an employer-chosen provider does not incur any legal liability for you or your business.

Mercer has the expertise to make your life easier!
