Aon plc announced on March 5, 2025, the launch of its Employee Benefits (EB) Cell Captive facility, a first-to-market innovation designed to transform how multinational companies manage risk and finance employee benefits. This new solution integrates Aon's Risk Capital and Human Capital capabilities, offering an alternative risk transfer strategy that enables clients to self-insure employee benefits risks in a simplified manner. The facility addresses rising healthcare costs and growing demand for customized benefits.
Cell Captives have been a trusted risk-financing tool in the property and casualty sector for over 25 years, and Aon is pioneering their application to multinational employee benefit programs. Michael Pedel, head of global benefits at Aon, stated that multinational organizations need agile benefits strategies to build a resilient workforce. The EB Cell Captive facility resolves challenges associated with traditional captives, such as administrative burden and high capital investment.
Leveraging Aon's Protected Cell Company, White Rock, the facility offers the value of a traditional captive structure with reduced operating costs and accelerated time-to-market. Ciaran Healy, global captive leader for Commercial Risk Solutions at Aon, emphasized that this facility provides an efficient and accessible way for organizations to leverage cell captives for employee benefits, an option previously unavailable to many clients. It is designed for multinational companies with international employee benefit programs exceeding $2 million annually.
