Our Company Culture

 

Simply put, we come to work because we want to make a difference in people’s lives. At Mercer, our purpose is to make a positive difference in people’s lives by helping advance their health, wealth and careers. We do this by living within our carefully structured Mercer house, where our daily values support our strategic imperatives, which in turn support our overarching mission and purpose.

 

 

Mission and Purpose: The Greater Good

 

Our four strategic imperative pillars support our mission and ultimately allow us to make a difference in people’s live. Our business and company culture are rooted in this sense of purpose, which dictates our values and allows us to do best by our people, clients and shareholders alike.

 

 

PRIDE Values

 

Every day, in our work with clients and our relationships with each other, we demonstrate our Mercer PRIDE values. These values form the foundation for the four strategic imperatives under which we run our business: invest in our people, broaden client relationships, improve customer experience and deliver profitable growth

  • Passion to win and be the best at what we do, reflected in our people, thought leadership, solutions and clients
  • Respect for diversity: listening to and collaborating with others, being inclusive and bringing the best ideas forward
  • Integrity in everything we do: knowing what is right and acting responsibly with our clients, colleagues and communities
  • Innovation that anticipates our client needs and reshapes the marketplace
  • Dedication to serving our clients with unparalleled quality and proven success
  • Empowerment to act like business owners and be accountable for our decisions
 

We Value Diversity

 
Respect for diversity is one of our core values. It’s so important to us that we have a strategy in place to increase the diversity of our workforce and make sure that every unique voice is heard. This is good for our business — diverse work teams tend to have greater success — and good for our colleagues. You know that you can bring your whole self to work every day and that you will be celebrated and appreciated for who you are.
