New  Web briefing: Engaging employees to drive global business success

In today’s demanding global business environment, employers want not just satisfied or committed employees, but ones who are truly engaged in the work and mission of the organiSation. Why? Because engaged employees feel a vested interest in their company’s success and are motivated to perform at levels that exceed the stated job requirements. Mercer understands what drives employee engagement – not just in one country or location, but around the world. We have conducted extensive research to capture and track employee perceptions in 22 countries. Join speakers Patrick Gilbert and David Tong to learn more.
