With 2020 being a year of exponential change, things aren’t “business as usual” when it comes to the merit season. We’ll discuss results from the multiple compensation planning pulse surveys that Mercer has conducted this summer and fall, how merit budgets have changed, how they look different by industry and what creative approaches companies are taking this year. We’ll also highlight how employers and employees have had to experiment with new ways of working flexibly in the wake of school and workplace closures and family health concerns brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. For the most part, this “forced” experiment has been a surprising success and has opened employers’ eyes to their workforce’s adaptability.
