A performance-driven employee reward strategy

Today’s job market is extremely competitive and finding talent has never been more of a challenge.

The right salary and or compensation package can help meet that challenge and mean you can retain staff who can grow with your company.

Mercer partners with clients to design incentives that are motivating and appropriate for their particular market.

This means:

  • Tailoring remuneration and incentives to your strategy, culture and operating model, and the wider employment landscape including job evaluation.
  • Creating models to ensure outcomes are defensible; this means making sure you have a job evaluation strategy that can be tested against a wide range of performance outcomes. The plans we design will take into account the market context, affordability and the expectations of shareholders, regulators and other stakeholders.

How Mercer can enhance your employee rewards offering

Are you paying too much — or too little — for emerging jobs and skills? Are other companies offering incentives or programs you don’t have? Our benchmark database uses the most accurate and up-to-date market data practices for evaluating and establishing competitive compensation. With Mercer’s job evaluation tools, you’ll have access to relevant market data that helps you calibrate pay levels across countries and industries.
