With the labor market hitting a 20-year high, employers are
looking for new ways to attract and retain top talent. Recent
Qualtrics research shows that nearly half of the workforce says
they intend to look for a new job in the next 12 months and that
offering generous benefits packages is a top perk employees are
requesting as they look for new jobs. Companies that focus on
improving the employee experience will be able to set themselves
apart in a competitive labor market.
The new partnership helps organizations around the world
understand employee sentiment and identify which actions HR leaders
and managers can take to improve the everyday experiences of their
workforces. With access to Qualtrics market-leading XM Platform,
companies can create employee listening programs that help leaders
quickly understand and act on insights about things like benefit
preferences, hybrid work models, and manager effectiveness.
Businesses can then leverage Mercer's employee expertise to create
and improve company cultures that center on employees, create
optimal benefits packages, and make data-driven decisions that
improve the employee experiences.
"Organizations are increasingly using digital tools to
gather employee input. To get the highest impact from this
technology investment, they need to strategically design their
employee listening and response programs," said Ilya Bonic, President of Mercer's Career
business and Head of Mercer Strategy. "Mercer is excited to partner
with a leading-edge technology like Qualtrics to help clients do
just this, so they can fully realize the value of their employee
experience data."
"Employee expectations continue to evolve in the new world of
work. Companies need to listen to their employees closely and often
to contend in a competitive labor market," said Qualtrics Global
Head of Ecosystem, R.J. Filipski. "Partnering with Mercer extends
the benefits of our platform to their worldwide membership as we
help companies globally improve the experiences they deliver to
their employees."
