2023 Participation Station

Your one-stop destination for details on becoming a part of Mercer’s US and Canada compensation and benefit surveys

With inflation diminishing spending power, continuing low unemployment and workforce movement presenting complex challenges, today’s human resource leaders are leaving no stone unturned to discover the secret to locking-in the engaged, motivated workforce they need to thrive in this economy. To differentiate yourself as an employer, your brand and employee value proposition are just as important as what you deliver in your total rewards package. However, don’t forget the fundamentals of total rewards – getting compensation and benefits right. And what do you need to do that? Comprehensive, quality, accessible data that reflects the market and how it’s changing is a good place to start.

Participate in a Mercer survey today so that you can address the latest challenges in the market and:

  • Right-size pay across your organization
  • Address inequities by making consistent, data-backed decisions
  • Set and adjust policies to stay competitive beyond the pay check

What does survey participation mean?

Participation at Mercer means you tell us what’s happening in your organization – from what you pay and how you allocate vacation time to how you move people. Our team then reviews and aggregates all the information to produce the benchmark data you need to make decisions with confidence.
