Global Pay Transparency Report

Behind job security, fair pay is the number-two reason workers stick around
Mercer’s Global Pay Transparency survey report through its research highlights that the biggest underlying risks come from business outcomes that might or might not be met across retention, attraction and engagement.
Pay transparency is quickly becoming a basic requirement for organisations across the world. In spring of 2024, 1,160 respondents headquartered in different regions around the globe participated in Mercer’s 2024 Pay Transparency Survey, seeking to understand how various organisations are approaching the changing landscape of pay transparency, as well as meeting employee expectations for more pay disclosure. In this report, we share those findings.
