Mercer named as one of America's Best Management Consulting Firms in 2023 by Forbes

For the past eight years, business magazine Forbes has partnered with Statista to produce an annual list of America’s Best Management Consulting Firms. This year, Mercer was recognized in nine categories, scoring 4/5 stars in Operations, Health Care & Life Sciences, and Human Resources Consulting.

Mercer was also recognized in the following industries:​​​​​​​

  • Consumer goods & retail
  • Data analytics & big data
  • Finance & risk management
  • Leadership advisory
  • Organization
  • Strategy

This list was built through two surveys: one for partners and executives of management consulting firms and one specifically designed for clients.

Firms were considered for the industries in which they consult (such as automotive, insurance, and health care) and for the functional areas in which they offer services (including leadership, sustainability, and legal and litigation).

The firms with the most recommendations in each category were given star ratings: five stars for “very frequently recommended,” four stars for “frequently recommended” and three stars for “recommended.”

I am extremely proud that Mercer is being recognized this year by Forbes as one of America’s Best Management Consulting Firms. By listening to our clients and really understanding their industries and issues, we can deliver not only the solutions our clients need today but we set them up for future success. That’s exactly the type of partnership we seek.
