Why should you use a third party?
Mercer helps clients safely obtain and distribute data within the Safe Harbor Guidelines established by the US Federal Trade Commission and Department of Labor.
- The survey must be managed by a third-party
- The information provided by participants is based on data more than three months old
- There have to be at least five providers offering data and no individual provider's data should represent more than 25% on a weighted basis of that statistic
- Any information disseminated must be sufficiently aggregated so participants are not able to identify the compensation paid by any particular provider
