Attracting and motivating talent in inflationary times

Whether you're in the boardroom or living room, inflation and the rising cost of living continue to dominate the conversations in 2023. Employees are worried about their finances and the prospect of limited pay increases. Executives are concerned with the impact of inflation on both their businesses and talent management decisions. Where does this leave workers and their employers?

In this episode, our host Cynthia Cottrell, Partner and Workforce Solutions Leader, Mercer Pacific, and guests Chi Tran, Head of Market Insights and Data, Mercer Workforce Solutions Pacific, and Andrew McKechnie, Head of Mercer Workforce Solutions NZ, talk about how organisations can respond to the crisis by centring their value proposition and business model on the needs of their workforce. They also cover key trends from Mercer’s latest salary and benefits surveys, the role of purpose, culture and the EVP, and practical steps that organisations can take today to navigate the current environment and promote higher engagement and retention.
