Economic Crisis: The New Reality

Layoffs can have a broad effect on a company's ability to respond to economic changes. Increased visibility and interaction with employees will help senior leaders prepare for what’s to come.

Addressing Risk and Governance

As the global uncertainty continues, institutional investors are struggling to understand and evaluate the new economic environment. The long-term legacy: a better appreciation of risk.

Assessing Retirement Plans

Older workers are much less confident about their retirement security than they were two years ago as a result of the financial crisis. Workers with defined benefit plans are much more confident in their retirement prospects than those who participate only in a defined contribution plan, a Watson Wyatt study has found.

Effectively Rewarding Employees

Pay raises are down significantly in Asia-Pacific from what they were nine months ago. Many companies have frozen pay in 2009, particularly in locations where businesses are more exposed to the slowdown in global trade — Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan.
