The broader Mercer perspective
Multiple international organizations across industries and geographies have trusted Mercer, from the world's largest global companies to regional organizations more modest in size. We work as a business partner with our clients to address a broad array of human capital issues, bringing together capabilities from our Health, Wealth, and Career businesses. The diversity of our client base and the variety of solutions we provide strengthen our ability to meet the needs of a wide range of clients.
Mercer’s Career business segment helps clients drive performance through talent management. Through our integrated consulting, information, and technology solutions, we provide:
- Depth and quality of our economic research. We understand client needs are very individual and we are committed to providing tailored solutions regardless of the home and host location or the type of assignment involved, i.e., long-term, short-term, strategic or developmental.
- Pricing agents. The people we use to survey price data in the host locations include expatriates themselves, not periodic travelers who fly in for a few days, collect prices, and leave. Our agents understand the local markets and practices and are available to answer location-specific questions on very short notice. For housing data we further engage destination services agents who are familiar with rental markets for expatriates.
- Global reach. Mercer has experienced consulting staff located at each of our main offices throughout the world. Our local presence gives us true understanding of our clients’ issues and the ability to serve them during their working hours. We are also available to meet with our clients and/or conduct briefings with expatriates anywhere in the world at minimal cost.
