MERCER’S TOTAL REMUNERATION SURVEYS (TRS) Mercer conducts TRS in more than 100 countries. Each TRS includes data for a set of core benchmark positions and, in many markets, industry-specific positions such as consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, and high-technology. Mercer’s TRS allows access to market data for pay and benefits, as well as the ability to generate statistics tailored to an organization’s needs via Mercer’s online delivery tool, Mercer WIN®.
MERCER’S INTERNATIONAL POSITION EVALUATION ( IPE) SYSTEMMercer surveys around the world are based on the International Position Evaluation (IPE) system. IPE relies on evaluating positions, not the employees holding those positions — because the qualifications and performance of incumbents can differ from what positions actually require. Position evaluation is not just a tool for salary comparisons, but is also instrumental in recruiting, career planning, designing corporate structures, and dealing with expatriate compensation and planning.
Pay data within each country matches the core benchmark position structure, using Mercer’s IPE methodology — ensuring that position levels are consistently and accurately matched, regardless of the country or industry. The IPE focuses on four dimensions:
► Impact and contribution to business unit results
► Communication
► Innovation
► Required knowledge

MERCER’S UNIVERSAL POSITION CODE SYSTEM® (MUPCS)Mercer’s MUPCS framework is a sophisticated, flexible position coding system used globally in Mercer TRS. Designed to reflect accurately how a company’s structure works around job families and career levels/progressions, the MUPCS framework is a robust methodology that allows consistent benchmark coding when analyzing pay across borders. The “smart” aspect of MUPCS (for example, families, subfamilies, career streams, and levels) lets users analyze remuneration trends and relationships beyond the traditional one-dimensional perspective of “jobs.”
