ABOUT MERCER 520SAMPLE
© 2015 Mercer LLC. 6 Global Compensation Planning Report — July Update
INTRODUCTIONMercer’s 2015 Global Compensation Planning Report – July edition includes analyses of economic trends and salary increase data by local Mercer consultants and experts. The report focuses on pay increases and economic trends, but also includes information on short-term incentives, attracting and retaining employees, headcount changes, and turnover.
To provide a more nuanced view of planned salary increases, the data shows salary increases both with and without companies that freeze salaries (including and excluding zeroes), where a high enough percentage of companies are doing so to make a meaningful difference.
REPORT STRUCTURE
The report has nine main sections:
• The Point of view, “Strategic Planning for Optimal Pay,” provides an overview of planning strategies to achieve internal equity and external competitiveness.
• The Introduction section provides the report structure and a brief note on the topics covered in the report.
• The Methodology section delineates the methods used in the report.
• The Glossary defines terms used in the report.
• The Summary of key findings provides an overview on economic trends, pay increases, short-term incentives, mandatory pay increase schemes, and talent forecasts.
• The Pay increases, economic trends, and short-term incentives section offers a snapshot of these key factors by country. The countries are classified into the following regions: Americas, Asia Pacific, Central and Eastern Europe, Western Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
• The Economic trends section summarises economic measures, by percentage, for all countries represented in the report.
• The Pay increase trends excluding zeroes section summarises compensation trends, by percentage, for all countries represented in the report.
• The Pay increase trends including zeroes section summarises compensation trends, by percentage, for all countries represented in the report.
The individual country pages provide important insights into the economic climate of each country, as well as actions being taken and considered by employers around the world. SA

Base pay increases: Mercer collects data on pay increases through detailed surveys of representative companies with operations in the countries analysed in the report. This figure includes merit increases, across-the-board increases, and any mandatory increase granted for inflation (cost-of-living adjustment). This section includes a table showing the percentage of companies reporting zero pay increases, and pay increases for six employee levels (plus “all employees”) excluding zeroes and including zeroes. All pay increase figures represent median values, except the figures denoted with an asterisk that represent average values, in case of small survey samples.
Economic trends: This section shows the gross domestic product annual average change (%), inflation annual average change (%), and unemployment (%) for the three years covered.
Mandatory pay increase schemes: This section describes any mandatory pay increase schemes that might apply in the country.
Short-term incentives: Variable bonus: This section shows variable bonus by employee level.
Attracting and retaining employees: This section lists the employees hardest to attract and the employees hardest to retain.
Headcount changes: This section presents the expected headcount changes, shown as increase, decrease, or no change.
Turnover rates: Turnover rates are for the latest available calendar year, either by employee category or the overall median. This section shows the voluntary staff turnover.
EMPLOYEE LEVELS
GCPR offers most of its compensation information across employee levels. The following are represented in this report:
• All employees.
• Executive.
• Management.
• Professional sales.
• Professional nonsales.
• Para-professional white collar.
• Para-professional blue collar.
INTRODUCTION
SAMPLE

METHODOLOGYGCPR’s methodology relies on Mercer data, along with a comprehensive review and update process. It allows HR practitioners to easily find the information necessary to understand the economic climate and market trends in the locations in which they have employees.
DATA SOURCES
Salary figures and forecasts are based on Mercer’s Total Remuneration Surveys (TRS), Salary Movement Snapshot (SMS) surveys, and country compensation databases. Main Mercer regional sources include the Latin America Economic Trends Report, the US and Canada Compensation Planning Surveys, and others. Economic information was drawn from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Economic Outlook database, Latin America Economic Trends Report, national central banks, national statistical offices, and government sources.
Reported figures always cover a three-year period.
If no pay increase data for a given employee category is available, the report denotes that fact by an en-dash (“–“).
EXCLUDING VS. INCLUDING ZEROES
Pay increase trends for the different employee levels show median pay increases. Figures appear both excluding and including zeroes:
• Excluding zeroes represents pay increases of companies that actually do increase pay (excluding pay freezes).
• Including zeroes shows the increases of all companies, including those with pay freezes.
UPDATE PROCESS
GCPR combines regional and local pay increase survey data to offer a global planning tool for Mercer’s clients. The basis for pay increase figures includes country survey data (TRS and SMS) and regional sources (such as the Latin America Economic Trends Report), which are locally and/or regionally peer reviewed, then integrated into GCPR. Regular quarterly reviews on GCPR-Online and in-between updates, if applicable, ensure that GCPR is up-to-date and shows the latest trends at all times.
Depending on the survey sources and the release date of the local TRS survey, the update cycle for each section can vary across countries. The sections typically updated for each update are as follows:
• July: Base pay increases and economic trends.
• October: Base pay increases, economic trends, mandatory pay increase schemes, short-term incentives, attracting and retaining employees, headcount, and turnover. SA
