Virtual Workshop, UK: Understanding Mercer International Position Evaluation (IPE) Methodology

Job evaluation is an important and critical exercise for organizations as it helps cascade overall strategic plans into company roles and responsibilities. A job evaluation exercise ensures synthesis of functional objectives into “areas of responsibility” that is understood down the line and captures the essence of the function. Likewise, job evaluation is critical when establishing a benchmark for compensation comparison.

9th and 11th of May 2023, 9:00am – 12:00pm BST
