Mercer, a global consulting leader in advancing health, wealth,
and careers, has launched Mercer Career View, a first-of-its-kind
career management and planning app. This mobile app is a valuable
tool that enables employees to explore career paths with their
current employer. By knowing the competencies necessary for their
function as well as for other roles across the organization,
employees can be successful in their present role or in a desired
future role.

“Mercer Career View is a win for employers and their employees,”
said Antonio Poglianich, Mercer’s Communication Practice Co-Leader.
“A lot of people find it easier to look outside rather than inside
their current employer to find jobs that appeal to their career
interests. Mercer Career View changes that dynamic by creating a
delightful and compelling experience for employees, while allowing
employers to grow their own active labor market.”
Mercer Career View enables employees to explore roles across an
organization’s job functions, assess their competencies against the
requirements of the role, and model career paths to discuss with
their manager. “Too often this invaluable information is buried in
a company’s intranet or worse, sits in three-ring binders on
company bookshelves and never makes its way to the end user –
employees,” said Mr. Poglianich.
Developed as a mobile first solution for smart phones, tablets,
and desktops, Mercer Career View makes it easy for employees to
determine the skills and expertise needed to be successful in other
functions across the organization (see Figure 1). In addition to
providing employees with essential information to make sound
decisions about their career progression, it can feature short
video clips of colleagues discussing their jobs with an invitation
to contact them should the role be of interest to other employees
as they map their career paths.
“Organizations develop career frameworks to better understand
their workforce composition in relation to their business needs by
identifying what skills are needed for specific roles,” said Mary
Ann Sardone, Mercer’s North America Workforce Rewards Leader.
“Mercer Career View is an employee-centric solution for them to
share this information in a user-friendly app while enabling
workforce agility, driving employee engagement, and ultimately
reducing costs associated with turnover.”
