How do I know my company is keeping pace with these new changes/threats?
Many organisations find it difficult to accurately understand how their workforce size, structure and total payroll compare to industry standards and peer groups. Without clear benchmarks, it’s challenging to identify whether your organisation is optimised for growth, cost-efficiency or market competitiveness. This can lead to over- or under-investment in talent, misaligned organisational structures and missed opportunities for strategic scaling.
Leveraging advanced AI-driven benchmarking, Mercer’s platform provides smart insights into the size and shape of your organisation, across departments, regions and functions, and compares your total payroll and workforce composition against industry peers and market leaders. This intelligent analysis highlights gaps and opportunities, enabling you to make informed decisions on cost optimisation, structural adjustments and strategic growth, keeping your organisation agile, competitive and aligned with market trends.

How can I improve my hiring and workforce planning to stay agile?
The shift to hybrid and remote work has complicated traditional hiring and workforce planning. Companies often lack the real-time insights needed to identify talent gaps, forecast future needs, or understand the true cost and impact of their hiring decisions.
Mercer’s Workforce Insights, powered by a smart, AI-predictive analytics feature, enables organisations to identify resource gaps, forecast future talent needs and plan workforce deployment proactively. This strategic approach reduces time-to-hire, improves quality of hire and ensures the organisation is agile enough to adapt to market shifts, giving you a competitive edge in talent acquisition.
How can I make smarter, more strategic workforce decisions?
Making informed, strategic decisions about workforce composition, productivity and costs is complex, especially with limited data and manual analysis. Many organisations react to issues rather than anticipate them, risking missed opportunities or costly missteps.
Mercer’s Workforce Insights platform provides a comprehensive, real-time view of your entire talent landscape — highlighting risks, opportunities and performance drivers. This enables leaders to make confident, strategic decisions that optimise organisational performance, improve ROI and future-proof the workforce.
