Information Product Solutions (IPS) specialises in regional and global research into pay, employee benefits, employment conditions and other HR related issues.

In today's economic environment, can your organisation afford not to have up to date market data available?

Having access to relevant and timely market data is critical for organisations to make informed and effective decisions related to base pay, variable pay, total reward packages, restructuring and, perhaps most importantly, employee communication.

Survey Management - Mercer helps organisations manage the survey data that is necessary for market pricing, job evaluation, and other key compensation management activities and decisions.

In Ireland, Mercer runs several compensation surveys which are used by our clients to benchmark salary and benefits information.

Market pricing - Get specific pay information derived directly from employers and analysed by Mercer experts to ensure accuracy.  Mercer can help you price your jobs against the relevant market.  Our services draw on nearly 1,000 published sources of current compensation data, using your job descriptions and relevant scope factors (e.g., industry, size and geography) to provide accurate market analyses of benchmark positions to determine the most appropriate compensation level.

Benefits Benchmarking - Benefits are key in attracting and retaining staff.  Many companies do not understand how the value of their own benefit plans can compare to the market.  Furthermore, employees do not fully understand the worth of their benefits package.

Mercer can help you compare and benchmark your benefits against the marketplace and provide advise on the benefit plans that are both cost effective and of high value to your employees.

Mercer can help achieve this by offering the following services, as shown in the EMEA Benefits Benchmarking brochure, all of which can be provided based on general industry, specific industry or a peer cut.
