Job evaluation: the basis for competitive HR practices
A new way of learning: Mercer’s methodologies
Work has become more complex, agile and fluid in the past two years, and so have your learning needs.
Our 2022-2023 Global Talent Trends report revealed that a lack of time either during or after work is the top barrier to employees learning a new skill. To overcome this barrier, Mercer Learning has transformed traditional workshops into a self-directed, blended approach that your employees can access on the go.
Your job evaluation and job analysis learning journey starts with a comprehensive series of online learning modules and concludes with a live, interactive workshop delivered by our certified facilitators. Our combined approach brings together the best of both worlds:
- Content-driven, self-paced digital learning
- Small-group, virtual classrooms
Mercer helps you bring structure to jobs and flexibility to learning.

What is blended learning?
What are the benefits of blended learning?
- The learning process can be better tailored to individuals’ needs.
- Learning outcomes are amplified because you can apply the theory straight away.
- Increased flexibility means you can learn in your own time, on any device.
- Progress is easily tracked.
- Knowledge is consolidated with a live and interactive workshop with our Mercer certified facilitators.
How does it work?
-
Part 1: E-learning
Approved participants get instant access to a self-paced exploration of the course through quizzes, tutorials and exercises. Once they have completed all modules, they are invited to enrol in a live online workshop. -
Part 2: Live online workshop
Participants put their learning into practice in a three-hour virtual classroom facilitated by a Mercer workforce consultant. The workshop provides immediate feedback and greater understanding of the methodology.
