woRKfoRce MeTRicS bencHMARK RePoRTby adding evidence-based decision making to the core of your HR practice, you can help your organisation better measure the success of its employee programmes and HR processes.

Mercer’s new Workforce Metrics benchmark report provide this evidence-based approach. There are numerous metrics included in our comprehensive local, regional and global data. examples of these metrics are:

staffing ratios — identifies the portion of employees in a function relative to the total number of employees in the organisation for each of fourteen (14) functions covered in the survey, e.g., 1.81 HR staff per every 100 employees.

span of control — pinpoints the average number of employees per executive, or per manager, in the organisation, e.g., average of 7.3 employees per manager.

voluntary turnover by career Level — distinguishes the portion of the workforce who voluntarily left the company in one of six (6) career levels in the survey as a percentage of the total employees of the organisation, e.g., 12.3% of Sales Professionals voluntarily left the organisation.

with these diagnostic indicators in hand, you gain better insights into your human resources. These metrics assist you in identifying short- and long-term gaps in skills and headcount. our composition and retention report identifies how you stack-up against others in your market. This information provides helpful diagnostics to validate assumptions or provide insights into areas for further exploration.

you also have the option of requesting custom analysis reports based on your specific benchmarking needs.

business and hr leaders are increasingly demanding fact-based decisions about their investments in human capital. This is not surprising given all that is at stake, does your organisation have the strategy, insights, and experience to turn data into meaningful information for decision making around talent — your most costly and critical asset?

TALenTSiM™An innovative online simulation that accurately measures leadership capability, Mercer TalentSiM helps you to select and develop exceptional leaders.

in a two-hour simulation format, TalentSiM replicates a variety of challenging real-world scenarios that a leader might face on any given day.

TalentSiM is specifically designed to assess the behavioural skills of entry-level through mid-level managers. in most organisations, this means TalentSiM is a good fit for high potentials up through the director level.

each situation is realistically presented through a combination of narration, video, photos, and animation. At various points throughout the simulation, participants are asked to indicate how they would handle particular situations – what they believe is the most effective and least effective course of action, as well as a variety of other response formats.

in many markets, employers adjust their mix of base pay and incentive pay to motivate their workers to perform at higher levels. As they increase the percentage of pay to be earned as short–term incentives, more and more of our clients and subscribers have been asking for reliable benchmark information on short-term incentives. Mercer’s short-term incentives Around the World report provides current, insightful information on key short-term incentives across 75 key markets in 62 countries (with separate data for 13 chinese markets). The report identifies key issues and trends in short-term incentives, provides country-specific incentive practice information based on survey statistics, and helps you make “apples to apples” cross-country comparisons. building on our long-standing tradition of continuous improvement for our global reports, the 2013 edition:

ʏ Relies on our universal Position coding System to give you an in-depth analysis of short-term incentive changes across countries.

ʏ includes annual and short-term incentive practices (target and actual paid) for each country.

ʏ Summarises three-year incentive trends across regions. ʏ Presents incentive information for key job families across markets.

our 2013 report can help you determine whether your short-term incentive programmes are providing the competitive edge you need to attract and retain the right employees. with this data in hand, you can avoid both the danger of overpaying and the risk of underpaying these important incentives.

determine fair and cost-effective expatriate compensation.

coST of LivinG — THe benefiT of Two APPRoAcHeSfinding the best way to address the cost-of-living issue is a challenge when managing a modern global workforce that originates in, and is assigned to, a diverse array of locations. To help find the optimal solution, Mercer offers two distinct approaches and several index types.

1. MeRceR MuLTinATionAL coST of LivinGMercer’s cost-of-Living surveys account for the cost of more than 200 goods and services. Surveys are conducted simultaneously by independent researchers in 325 locations. carefully chosen vendors reflect only those outlets where your expatriates can buy goods and services of international quality. Mercer’s precise cost-of-living information allows companies to assess fair and competitive cost-of-living allowances.

The multinational cost-of-living approach develops indices and differentials based on a blended spending pattern among a variety of expatriate types, nationalities, and assignment patterns. with the same weighting of goods and services for all locations, this approach compares prices of similar brands from similar retail outlets in the home city and host city. indices may be “reversible.”

MeRceR oRc nATionALiTy-SPecific coST of LivinG. The nationality-specific cost of Living approach provides cost-of-living indices and differentials that are based on the unique spending patterns in a base (usually home or headquarters) country. by using different weights for each home country, the approach ensures that expatriates can retain their expenditure pattern in the host location. This compares prices in the home country from a local-national perspective to prices in the host city from an expatriate perspective. indices are not “reversible.”

both of the ongoing service relationships offered include online access to up-to-date information; Home-country Data and Tax Profiles; limited telephone consulting with an international consultant (or team) assigned to your company; a user guide for applying the data; and quarterly publications on expatriate living, international HR administration, and expatriate tax issues.
