Placement Overview

WTW’s Placement teams deliver superior results for our clients’ business and risk management needs through deep product and industry expertise. The role of a broker is to help our clients mitigate their total cost of risk. The GDP placement would likely sit either within our Broking team or with Client Service and Delivery. The teams operate as the firm’s intellectual capital where we work with our clients to assess, model, and structure risk. Once modeled, our teams personally escort the clients’ risk into the market and draw upon their market relationships and their negotiation skills to secure quotations from the insurance carriers. While the nature of the work is similar day-to-day, no two placements are the same and common tasks may include: preparing and sending out submissions, liaising with markets, analyzing exposures, working through risk models, and negotiating quotations.
