One of the most significant factors limiting the growth potential of countries around the world is the fundamental participation and engagement of women in their workforce Eliminating the gap between male and female employment rates could boost countries’ GDP by as much as 34%.
To have a highly engaged female workforce, companies need a multi-faceted program that supports women to be healthy, productive and financially secure across the various phases of their professional and personal lifecycle.
Employers play a driving role with enormous ability to influence change and impact in this space – and reap the resulting benefits to their own business performance.

Mercer’s work with the World Economic Forum in 2013 identified significant opportunity for countries and companies on a global scale

Implications for talent management
Identify critical roles and segments
Manage these segments as a portfolio of investments
Apply greater use of workforce analytics to quantify impact and return
From…
How much should we invest in which parts of our workforce to
achieve what level of return?

We should invest in talent as a strategic
advantage

want from you? Where is there tension between these needs?

enable them to progress via a route that suits them

C A R E E R P A T H D E S I G N Does the nature of the work or the way in which capability is built require defined career path movement (i.e. most people are able to move from one role to another in logical steps) or rather it is about providing information about ‘destination roles’ and people chose their own pathway to get there by seeking out the experiences they need to progress?
Career paths that are followed by most people; little possibility for alternative career routes

WHAT are the expectations of the role I’m interested in?
WHAT CAREER OPTIONS EXIST? WHAT ARE THE JOB/ROLE EXPECTATIONS?
HOW can I get there?
JOB FAMILIES/SUB-FAMILIES
Generally recognized major professional areas, often requiring a unique set of skills.
Most career development occurs within a job family.
JOB/ROLE
A specific point in a career journey, characterized by a combination of job-specific requirements, career level, career stream, and job family.
HOW MANY RUNGS ARE THERE IN THE CAREER LADDER?
CAREER LEVELS
The hierarchical position of jobs within a career stream.
It describes the major changes in job scope and responsibilities and is consistent across job families.
IS THERE A CHOICE BETWEEN A TECHNICAL CAREER OR A MANAGEMENT CAREER AT SOME POINT?
CAREER STREAMS
Career types characterized by unique responsibilities. In some organizations career streams are Executive, Management, Professional and Support, while others collapse them into one.

An Effective Career Framework?
What solutions/tools should it include? What new or innovative practices have you used or heard about in career practices?
46
-
IDENTIFY The right career levels, tracks (families/sub families), critical roles and job structure.
DEFINE The expectations at each rung in the career ladder and track using accountabilities and competencies.
MAP The current jobs and employees to the career framework and determine where job consolidation is required.
ALIGN The career framework with all talent processes impacting employees such as performance, pay and succession.
COMMUNICATE The employee value proposition of career tools that can help support employees’ growth and development.
STRATEGIC ARCHITECTURE
BUILDING BLOCKS JOBS AND EMPLOYEES
TALENT PROCESSES CREATIVE STRATEGY
Understand the talent and rewards philosophy to determine the Job Architecture — vertical career levels/rungs, horizontal career tracks/sub-families, and create a— that is optimal for career performance.
A common set of Work Dimensions & company-wide Core Competencies provides a seamless structure for talent mobility, while unique Technical Skills/Competencies recognize the nuances by job family.
The process for making decisions around where a job (and employee) sits in the framework requires collaboration with subject matter experts.
Using core foundations of the career framework, Mercer will work with you to align each of the talent and reward programs and processes to ensure a seamless and integrated employee experience.
Mercer’s creative strategies define the rational and emotional experiences across a range of integrated touch points to inspire a deep, persistent attraction to your brand. Ultimately, this will drive the active pursuit of employment using simple digital means.
