Case Study: India’s Largest Media Conglomerate achieves a tailored, scalable employee training program in 30 days with Mercer Mettl

Creating a tailormade training plan to match the business needs of every function

India Largest Media Conglomerate, a print and multi‑media leader with about 11,000 employees and over $1.5B in revenue, engaged Mercer Mettl to design an extensive, function‑specific training program. Facing highly diverse roles (from Art and Edit to Revenue Assurance and IT), dispersed teams across 15+ locations, and a one‑month timeline, the customer needed rapid assessment of employee skills and clear outcomes to inform tailored learning plans.

Mercer Mettl developed role‑based Skill and Knowledge Assessments, benchmarked competencies against organizational standards, and built a custom dashboard to visualize current versus desired proficiency by function, level, and location. Using the Mercer Mettl platform, the team delivered a tailor‑made training program in just 30 days, scaled simultaneously across 17 locations, and assessed 1,600+ employees—providing fast, measurable insights to prioritize and deploy targeted learning.
