Hewitt Worldwide
It's a long way from a single bank building in Lake Forest, Illinois to our
status today as the world's largest provider of multi-service human resource
outsourcing. But the path we've followed since 1940, when Ted Hewitt founded
his insurance brokerage firm, has proven wise for us and for our clients:
understand what makes successful companies and provide products and services to
help them and their people succeed.
By the 1950s, our agility at providing sound ideas and workable solutions had
already established us as a provider of actuarial and related employee benefits
and compensation services for major employers. And as we grew, so did our need
for new offices. We opened the first Hewitt regional office in Minneapolis in
1959, then opened several others from coast to coast.
We branched into Toronto, Canada in 1974 and went overseas in 1985, opening
offices in Paris and in St. Albans, outside London. Since then, we've opened
dozens of new offices.
Today, we have
clients, including the world's most successful companies—more than half the FORTUNE
500® and more than a third of the FORTUNE Global 500®. Our reach is
truly global, with
associates in offices in
countries spanning the globe.
We'll handle more than 70 million HR-related customer interactions from nearly
20 million employees and retirees this year. And our addition of HR BPO pioneer
Exult in 2004 cements our standing as the only firm capable of integrating HR
outsourcing and HR consulting to deliver solutions that help companies maximize
their HR investment.
