In 2011, Mercer established the Workforce Sciences Institute, an offshoot of the original WSA team. The Institute’s primary objectives are to focus research efforts on the continued advancement and application of the new science of human capital management, from developing advanced analytic methods and constructs to measuring the economic impact of workforce management practices. WSA and the Workforce Sciences Institute operate as a cohesive unit, collaborating on client engagements and original research.
