Mercer Foresight: Reap the rewards

Welcome to this latest issue of Foresight. As 2009 draws to a close, there are signs already that 2010 may herald a slow upturn in the economy. Nevertheless, companies will have to continue to walk a fine line between managing costs while performing at higher levels than ever before.

Earlier this year, Mercer conducted a second Leading through unprecedented times survey which examined employers’ attitudes to issues including talent, compensation, benefits and investment during the economic downturn. Read more about the outcome of this research and how Mercer is able to support employers during these troubled times to find cost-effective solutions.

What is clear from the research is that a company’s greatest asset is its people. It’s why employee engagement is more important than ever and now critical to business success. Foresight examines why tailoring advice to different parts of the workforce and engaging employees  can have the desired effect where it is valued most.

Foresight also examines why employee benefits must still be a priority in the recession. Find out why directors need to be confident they are receiving the right legal advice and learn how Mercer is leading the way in the adoption of an innovative system for pension investment transactions.

Mercer is here to support you during the economic downturn. If you would like to discuss any of the issues highlighted in this issue of Foresight, please contact your Mercer consultant directly or e-mail Mercer Foresight
