Pension regulations and government requirements are rapidly changing. By staying on top of new regulations and publishing authoritative guidelines, Watson Wyatt helps clients proactively respond.

While organizations must continue to offer cost-effective retirement and benefit programs to attract, retain and motivate their workforce, the big news in Asia-Pacific is changes in pension legislation. Today, Watson Wyatt is anticipating, tracking and analyzing pension changes throughout the region to help state- and private-owned organizations restructure their pension packages accordingly.

Watson Wyatt is the world’s leading adviser on retirement plans, providing actuarial and consulting services for both defined benefit (DB) and defined contribution (DC) plans. Our presence in Asia-Pacific is strong, with more than 70 percent market share in Taiwan, Hong Kong and the Philippines, and more than 50 percent in Indonesia, Malaysia and New Zealand.

Through research-based consulting, Watson Wyatt helps clients align their retirement and benefit arrangements with their reward strategies and their workforce’s demographics.

  • Reward Strategy - Using modeling tools, we structure competitive, cost-effective reward packages that achieve desired workforce behavior.

  • Retirement Plan Operation - Our range of services enable clients to run their retirement plans successfully. These include administration, communication and investment monitoring, as well as ongoing actuarial consulting advice on funding. In Australia, through a partnership with CitiStreet, we provide our clients with high-quality state-of-the-art administration services to meet their increasingly complex needs.
