Growing our Company, Growing our People

Mercer would not be where we are today without the relationships we have with people. We seek out relationships and growth opportunities through partnerships with the communities we work in, our customers and suppliers of our products, and our associations and memberships to support the industry.

Internally, growth involves the development of our talent – providing opportunities for team members to learn and develop new skills. Challenging our team members to continuously learn keeps them engaged as a member of the Mercer team well into the future.

Sustainable Development of People with Programming

Continuous learning is not just about the hard skills, but the soft skills as well: adapting to a new working culture and learning how to be more inclusive makes a difference in the professional development of our people. Only by embodying our values will our workplace continue to develop positively into a strong workforce.

Demonstrating our value of Health & Safety, the Road to Zero program was implemented in 2015 as a journey toward zero injuries in the workplace. This program included developing new mindsets in our safety culture – a mindset that has been well received, giving us pride in the aptitude and resiliency of our workforce.

Where we want resiliency to continue its momentum is in our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion portfolio. Innovation can only come from diverse experiences, worldviews, and ideas – all achieved by diversity. Diversity, then, is achieved through equity and inclusion. At this time, a major goal in our DE&I portfolio is to increase the number of women in the workplace. While 25 % of our top 100 management positions are held by women, we know we can see more equity in these positions, jump-starting our journey of inclusion to move towards other aspects of diversity we want to see in our operations.

    Communities

    All of our communities are unique, yet all share historical respect for the land. We are fortunate to operate in communities that share a connection to our business and our values. Commitment to the people in our regions provides us with a supportive environment for the success of our talented team members and our partners.

    Our Roots
