Our approach to talent assessment

Mercer proposes a strategic and integrated assessment approach. This means considering the different phases of the talent management strategy and integrating them in a continuous iteration process that places people at the centre in relation to business needs and corporate strategies. This process feeds the pipeline for current and future critical skills and roles and directs resources toward targeted growth, allowing you to steer your company toward success.

We leverage data and analytics to measure individual and organisation success. Our strategic and integrated approach consists of four main steps:
