Thriving Workforce
Building a Brighter Future with Career Frameworks

In today’s competitive business environment, attracting and retaining top performers is the key to success. By outlining your company’s career levels and job families or career paths with Mercer’s Career Frameworks solution, you can architect compelling career paths for your employees that foster talent development, enhance retention efforts, and cost-effectively cultivate a workforce that improves business performance. 

What Does a Career Framework Do For You?

 

Our Career Frameworks solution leverages our proprietary approach to leveling, defining and classifying jobs. By linking all critical HR processes — including workforce analytics, selection, performance management, succession management, rewards and career development — we unlock big data insights that offer unprecedented talent management control.

Mercer’s Global Talent Trends survey posits that more needs to be done to understand backgrounds, skillsets, and future aspirations if we are to unlock potential in the Human Age. Employees want versatile career experiences with meaningful growth and learning. They would benefit significantly from a career management tool that provides personalized access to career paths and learning opportunities.

While only 38% of HR Managers are concerned with supporting employees’ career growth:

  • Employees want career movement, learning, and experimentation. If employees don’t get the career support they expect, they will look for it elsewhere: 39% report that they are satisfied in their current job but plan to leave due to a lack of career options.
  • 75% of THRIVING employees say that they feel career-empowered
  • Those employees who identified themselves as thriving were almost four times more likely to state that their employer helps them find the right opportunities.
  • Individuals who feel empowered in their careers are 2.6 times more likely to report having access to career path information.

The world of work is evolving — and so are the expectations of your workforce. Find out how you can unlock their growth potential.
