Transformation, talent and your employee experience

Mercer has the global expertise and the local knowledge to create a world-class employee experience.

Our digital focus groups are agile and enable us to understand employee sentiment about topics such as wellbeing, diversity and inclusion and sustainability in a swift, cost-effective manner.

We use technologies including Conjoint Analysis to create a data based view of employee preferences on reward and benefit elements, enabling cost modelling and EVP redesign to help you retain talent.

Pulse surveys provide a robust, scalable and benchmarked view of employee opinions on contemporary organisational issues and actions plans.

The combination of these and other methods brings the rigour of consumer research into the HR domain.

The resulting data can provide assurance to senior management about the quality of people management, plus insight about what is working and where change is needed, through the eyes of the ‘consumer’: the employee.

Discover what employees value the most out of your employment value proposition; create the right experience and retain the talent you need to thrive.

How we are designing the employee experience

Mercer’s human-led design approach comprises three key phases for designing a stand-out employee experience.
  1. Defining the problem
    We analyse and empathise with key people challenges that influence the employee experience and desired outcomes. We use workshops, analytics, and data-driven insights from multiple sources, such as interviews, focus groups, engagement surveys, and pulse surveys.
  2. We design the solution
    This phase uses personas, journey -mapping, and design-thinking techniques to co-create, prioritize and validate tailored solutions. This helps us focus your energy where it makes the most sense.
  3. Activate for maximum impact
    This phase includes developing a change and communications strategy and determining branding needs and digital needs. Built- in feedback mechanisms, including employee research, surveys, and analytics, can help measure progress and add agility to better so you can adapt more effectively to employee needs and your business agenda.

We create experiences people crave.

Designing an employee experience that is focused on the individual is key to creating an enduring relationship; no one is better placed to shape the employee experience than employees themselves.
