How global business challenges drive the HR agenda


Mercer's 2006 Global Business Challenges Survey. This online survey, conducted during September 2006, explores the key business priorities of a broad range of organizations and identifies the human resource management agenda of these organizations in addressing these business priorities.

We received a total of 406 responses to our survey, encompassing 373 organizations ranging from small, emerging private companies to some of the world's largest and most global corporations.

You can download a brief version of the report (9 pages), the full report (40 pages) and a copy of a presentation deck with more information in PDF format on this page.

The focus of our review was the identification of the primary business challenges that our clients – mostly publicly held, multinational organizations – are facing.
