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.
