In times of disruption, we’ve got you covered

Thinking differently about how your employees work can help keep key people on board during both steady and turbulent times, and set you up for ongoing success.

With Mercer’s Flexi-work Solutions tools including our Career Framework and workforce analytics, you can make sure every dollar counts and know every desk (virtual or otherwise) is occupied by someone contributing to your success. We can help you:

• get the insights you need to shape HR policies for flexible ways of working
• automate internal processes for working arrangements, improving efficiency
• be proactive in workforce planning and talent strategy
• quantify problems and identify risks
• more effectively recruit, retain, develop and engage talent
• manage change communications to ensure employees get the right message at the right time.

A business is only as healthy as the people behind it. Businesses that are smart about investing in their employees during turbulent times can get a competitive advantage in the fight for talent, reaping the benefits of attracting and retaining the right people.

To help you get the edge, we can work with you to tailor a Healthy People Program – a comprehensive, cost-efficient program to engage and motivate your workforce through choice in health and wellness benefits. We can help you:

• explore creative ways to reduce spending on health and wellbeing, while still supporting your talent with the benefits they value
• minimise administration by advocating on your behalf as claims management consultants
• manage health risks that may impact your business, with our expert insights and recommendations
• compare key indicators with market peers through periodic benchmarking
• proactively manage program design informed by in-depth data and analysis
• boost employee participation and a culture of self-care by addressing physical, financial, social and mental wellness.

Particularly during times of disruption, truly understanding your workforce’s experiences – and knowing what to do with this data – is essential to set your business apart and drive growth.

Mercer’s Employee Experience Tracker services give you the specialist insights you need to gauge employee experience, unlock performance and turn data into impact. We can help you with:

• employee experience and engagement surveys that go beyond providing powerful insights, uncovering how your results compare with industry norms, and what to do to improve employee engagement
• measuring general experiences and critical moments throughout the employment lifecycle – such as recruitment, new manager appointments, career transition, employee exit and more – through our continuous connectivity Allegro Pulse Survey Platform
• guidance and tools to take personalised action that generates high performance and transforms your business.

The employees of today aren’t interested in just jobs – they want meaningful careers. And more than ever during times of uncertainty, businesses can no longer get away with haphazard hiring and unfocused career management for their talent.

With 62% of businesses rating themselves as ineffective at workforce planning, are you on track for long-term success? Mercer can help elevate your workforce with succession planning and leadership development. Our Targeted Talent Strategies can support you with:

During economic downturn and times of uncertainty, reducing employee benefits insurance can seem an obvious way to cut costs. But this can be risky in a competitive talent market, with businesses vulnerable to losing their top performers.

Mercer’s Benefits Program Revamp strategies can help businesses get the most value out of their group employee benefits insurance packages, making sure expenses are minimised while employees still get the support they need. Our BenefitMAP tool is a groundbreaking platform that can help you:

• make informed decisions on employee health and benefits using real-time information based on your unique employee census data
• look ahead with a clear, informed view of future costs of coverage and potential savings
• get the insights you need with a customised financial view, combining benchmarking with plans tailored to your specific needs
• optimise decision-making through a transparent picture into the cost of coverage, helping you identify savings and shape the right programs for your business.
