Shifting societal sentiment and global events have forced even the most traditional industries — such as oil and gas — to adapt quickly to changing work models.

Energy companies are choosing a path. Some are doubling down on becoming the industry’s low-cost producer and service provider, while others are diversifying and pivoting toward whole-scale business transformations. Regardless of your company’s path forward, HR will be necessary to find and keep key employees, optimize costs, and drive efficiencies across health, wealth, and talent in a sustainable manner.

Mercer has the data and insights you need to make critical decisions in the current environment.

Evaluating your pay strategy

You’re certainly well aware the energy and mining industry is going through a period of drastic change, which means you’re likely to be taking a closer look at your compensation and rewards strategy.

Mercer’s salary surveys give you the data you need to be sure you’re paying what you need to, for success both now and in the future.
