Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information Segment Information
The Company is organized based on the types of services provided. Under this structure, the Company’s operating segments are: Marsh Risk, Guy Carpenter, Mercer and Marsh Management Consulting. The four segments are aggregated into two operating and reporting segments as follows:
Risk and Insurance Services, comprising Marsh Risk (insurance services) and Guy Carpenter (reinsurance services); and
Consulting, comprising Mercer and Marsh Management Consulting.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those used for the consolidated financial statements described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Company's 2025 Form 10-K. Revenues are attributed to geographic areas based on the location out of which the services are performed.
The Chief Executive Officer, as the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), evaluates segment performance and allocates resources based on segment operating income, which includes directly related expenses and charges or credits related to restructuring but not the Company's corporate level expenses. Segment operating income is also used to monitor budget versus actual results.
Selected information about the Company’s segments is as follows:
