The world's largest and most comprehensive employee compensation resource
As employers grapple with stagflation, pandemic recovery, remote working, and the labor shortage, how much to pay your employees has never been more delicate nor complex. More than ever, the quantity and quality of the employee compensation information you use are critical.
Mercer has the world's largest and most comprehensive workforce rewards data – so you can always be sure you are making the right remuneration decisions.
Making employee compensation decisions in complexity
It’s a complicated time to attract and retain talent. When it comes to employee compensation – a fundamental tool in the workforce rewards toolbox – there are now arguably more factors to consider than at any other time:
- How do you know you are paying fairly across your geographically diverse locations?
- Are you over- or under-paying against industry standards?
- How do you balance market-wide wage stagnation with compensating becoming a resignation impetus?
- How do you assemble the elements you need to build a market-leading employee rewards program?
- When is the right time to do an employee compensation audit?
- Can you justify your employee compensation decisions?
- What does a good employee compensation strategy look like now?
- Given all the factors in flux, do you need the expertise of a compensation consultant?
The global talent scarcity means your compensation plans need not only to be robust, but stand out – locally, regionally, and across the world.
Mercer can partner with you to answer all these critical questions and more with our total remuneration data, and consultant services.
Employee compensation data from 50,000 participating organizations worldwide, including 25 million incumbents, referencing 400,000 roles.
The compensation and benefits data the world uses to remunerate
Mercer’s Total Remuneration Survey (TRS) is built on more than 20 years of experience and expertise. It is the world's largest and most comprehensive employee total remuneration resource, including benefits data – in 140 locations.
