Obtain the right solution

Mercer’s proprietary International Position Evaluation (IPE) system is a global factor-based approach, allowing for fast, reliable and consistent measurement of positions’ size and value to an organisation across job families, within any type of organisation, anywhere in the world.

Not all positions at any one organisation level have the same impact, require the same level of knowledge and skill, or face the same innovation and communication requirements or operating complexities. The true value of the IPE System is that it is a totally independent and objective method, allowing you to compare various aspects of a job, and to rank positions accurately against each other – across job families, within any type of organisation, anywhere in the world.

Key features:

The IPE System analyses jobs according to four ‘core’ factors:

Impact
Communication
Innovation
Knowledge

An additional factor, ‘Risk’, is an integrated but optional part of the IPE methodology.

These factors are sub-divided further into 12 dimensions, each of which is individually weighted.

IPE is a ready made, point factor tool that is globally supported by Mercer consultants.
The IPE methodology evolves in response to changes in the environment and user feedback, ensuring that it is continuously updated and improved.
The IPE System has a long tradition as a popular method of position evaluation. Consequently, Mercer has significant experience of working with the world’s leading organisations in implementing and managing their internal position evaluation processes.
IPE can be used to compare positions across job families and organisations, anywhere in the world.
Focusing on the four ‘core’ factors ensures that the IPE System is quick, consistent and easy-to-use.
