MERCER PAYROLL BENCHMARKING SURVEY2015

LEARN HOW PAYROLL CAN BECOME A STRATEGIC BUSINESS FUNCTION WITHIN YOUR ORGANIZATION

2

Whether you handle payroll operations in one country or 100, knowing you have gotten the best value for your organization is paramount. That’s why the Mercer Payroll Benchmarking Survey (MPBS) evaluates both the content and context of payroll by considering the organization’s business model, workforce size, service delivery approach, technology model, industry sector, and many other critical dimensions.

MPBS is built around a flexible, four-step process and remains open until October 1. Organizations choose a domestic or global focus in steps 1 and 2, depending on their payroll function. Only step 1 is required; participation in the rest is discretionary based on your business needs and data availability.
