OMERS Social Value Case Study
How SVT measured the wellbeing a secure pension creates for more than half a million Ontario members.
The challenge
OMERS needed to show the value its pension creates beyond the monthly payment.
The approach
SVT surveyed members and compared them with similar people who had no pension coverage.
Key results
- Retired OMERS members were 54% more likely to report higher life satisfaction.
- Members were more likely to volunteer and donate.
- OMERS retirees were less likely to depend on the Guaranteed Income Supplement.
