In2Matrix and Towers Watson launch corporate Employee Benefits alliance in Russia and CIS

Moscow, May 12 2014 – In2Matrix, an international employee benefits consultancy, and global professional services company Towers Watson have, today, announced the establishment of an exclusive alliance to provide consulting and insured employee benefits solutions to local corporate and multinational businesses in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).

The alliance has been created to bring industry best-practice and innovative and enhanced solutions to meet the needs of a wide range of businesses across the region. It will offer local and multinational corporate organisations in the region a full employee benefits service built on the combined global consulting expertise and proven employee benefits solutions of both firms. 

The services under the exclusive alliance will be delivered by a joint team of experts based in In2Matrix’s Moscow office, where it has operated for 10 years.

Gerard Baltazar, Chairman and Chief Executive of In2Matrix, said: “This partnership provides significant benefits to organisations based and operating within the region. The combination of expertise and experience of both parties will enable us to provide these businesses with access to first class employee benefits solutions that deliver a transparent and successful benefit strategy, responding to local operating and regulatory requirements. In Towers Watson, a globally recognised consulting brand, we have found a partner that supports our aspiration to offer an effective ‘one-stop shop’ solution for high quality employee benefits in this strategically important region.”

Simon Gilliat, Global Practice Director, Towers Watson said: “In2Matrix has built the local market expertise and understanding that will be an important factor in the delivery of the combined service. Our alliance enables us to evolve the range and scope of the employee benefits services that we both offer across the region.”

Gilliat continued: "This alliance with In2Matrix has also afforded Towers Watson the opportunity to continue to provide ongoing market intelligence and advice on Compensation & Benefits matters in Russia and the CIS locally through the former Towers Watson data services team, headed by Anna Babushkina, who have transferred to In2Matrix."
