Willis has announced the appointment of Bruce Sletten as national director of voluntary insurance and outsourcing.
Sletten joins from Mercer Health & Benefits where he led their voluntary benefits business in the US.
Willis said he has designed many innovative and cutting edge programs in voluntary and association sponsored insurance offerings and administration.
Rick Elliott, president and CEO of Willis' employee benefits practice for North America, said: "Our client's employees continue to transform from a mindset of entitlement to engagement and are being asked to take a greater role in designing and paying for their benefits and financial planning.
"A major part of this transformation will include voluntary benefits and outsourcing and Bruce will be a tremendous asset to Willis in leading this effort."
