Introducing Barley Global Benchmarking Data

We’re excited to announce the launch of Barley Global Benchmarking Data Powered by Mercer Comptryx. With this launch, we’re unlocking access to market-leading benchmarking data across compensation processes in Barley, enabling organizations to make better pay decisions with confidence.

Traditionally, HR and People teams have faced three main challenges with accessing and managing global benchmarking data.

Challenge #1: You have difficulties finding reliable and high quality global benchmarking data

For companies with employees worldwide, knowing what to pay in different local markets can be a challenge as it’s difficult for you to find reliable and high quality global benchmarking data. On top of that, access to market data for specific regions can often be an additional cost. You also can’t rely on free self-reported benchmarking data as it’s not reviewed, standardized, and accurate.

Challenge #2: You have to manually compare benchmarking data with your own salary bands in spreadsheets

Once you do find benchmarking data, there’s a lot of manual work that follows. First, you need to compare the benchmarking data against your own salary bands in spreadsheets. Then, you have to manually come up with ways of analyzing the data and identifying insights.

Not only is this manual approach tedious and time consuming, it’s also prone to errors and doesn’t allow you to stay current with the latest data. This prevents your organization from making smart and proactive pay decisions (which is highly important int today’s fast-moving market).

Challenge #3: You don’t use benchmarking data to its full potential for your other compensation workflows

Typically, you’ll spend money and time on benchmarking data which you’ll use once or twice a year for the benchmarking process. You don’t have the bandwidth to manually export and manage the data in spreadsheets for various compensation processes throughout the year which is a missed opportunity to leverage the data across your compensation strategy.

Barley Global Benchmarking Data is built with the entire compensation strategy in mind

Here at Barley, we understand how important it is to take a holistic approach to compensation. Not only is Barley simplifying access to high quality benchmarking data, we’re also making it easy for organizations to leverage the data alongside key compensation workflows.
