What is Total Remuneration survey report by Talentnet-Mercer?
The Talentnet–Mercer Total Remuneration Survey continues to evolve in 2026 with an expanded scope that now includes the Education industry. In 2025 alone, the survey brought together data from 606 multinational companies and 72 local organizations, creating one of the most reliable reward benchmarks in Vietnam.
Data is clearly differentiated between Vietnamese and foreign enterprises to ensure accurate, practical comparisons aligned with real market contexts. Covering 16 key industries, from Financial Services and Manufacturing to High Tech, Life Sciences, Retail, Hospitality, and FMCG, the dataset can be flexibly customized to support each organization’s unique analytical and business needs.
What happens when organisations lack reliable market pay data?
Pay decisions become reactive
Without long-term market visibility, salary adjustments are often driven by short-term signals such as resignation trends or urgent hiring needs. Over time, this reactive approach increases cost pressure and weakens workforce planning.
With more than 15 years of continuous market data, the Talentnet–Mercer survey helps organizations anticipate trends rather than respond to them.
Reward strategies drift away from market reality
When organizations design salary structures, pay policies, or benefits without a holistic view, reward strategies can quickly get misaligned. This creates internal friction, inconsistent pay positioning, and difficulty retaining high-value talent.
The Talentnet-Mercer total remuneration report provides a comprehensive view, allowing organisations to benchmark practices by industry, job level, and market segment.
Overpaying or falling behind competitors
When organizations lack clear, industry-specific benchmarks, pay decisions are often made in isolation, raising the risk of falling behind competitors or overspending without a real advantage. Industry-specific benchmarking across more than 16 sectors provides the clarity needed to assess pay positioning against both direct competitors and the wider market.
HR leaders lack data to defend pay decisions
In today’s cost-focused environment, HR is increasingly expected to justify compensation strategies with data. Without a proven framework or credible benchmarks, pay decisions become difficult to explain and harder to sustain.
Combining Mercer’s global methodology with Talentnet’s local market expertise, TRS equips organisations with credible benchmarks to support strategic conversations with business leaders.
