Mercer's International Position Evaluation System (IPE)

Mercer's International Position Evaluation System (IPE) offers organisations an independent method to compare various aspects of a job and rank positions against each other. The system allows for fast, reliable and consistent measurement of positions' size and value to an organisation across job families, within any type of organisation across the world.
  

Mercer consultants use IPE to design effective grading structures to support the organisational goals. 

 

What are the benefits of Position Evaluation with IPE?

 

  • Clarification of positions
     
  • A systematic, objective and comparable basis for reviewing roles
     
  • A method for market comparison of compensation and benefits
     
  • A fair and objective basis for grading design
     
  • A transparent, accepted and internationally applicable approach

 

Is IPE right for you?  Consider these questions:

 

  • Are you looking for an evaluation system that has a track record of success and can be implemented quickly and consistently?
     
  • Are multilingual capabilities a key consideration?
     
  • Do you want a grading structure which is built on a transparent, fair and robust approach

 

The example below shows a grading structure based on evaluation results.  The reference salary is typically linked to survey data so that it can be periodically reviewed.
