No matter how much experience you bring to the firm, we offer you the chance to learn and develop. We actively encourage you to take advantage of the diverse opportunities the firm has to offer both within Europe and the rest of the world.

Induction

All new associates in the European Region are invited to a two-day induction programme. The event provides an introduction to Watson Wyatt, our values and our working practices. You will also have the opportunity to become familiar with the IT systems and general firm wide processes. It is also an excellent opportunity for you to network with associates and other new joiners to the firm.

Reviewing your Performance

The performance review and planning cycle is designed to look at your performance and overall contribution to the firm. Feedback is provided through our 360º performance review cycle and may include feedback from clients as well as associates that you work with directly.

Broadening your Experience

Each year you will have an individual career development review which allows you to consider how your knowledge and skills are developing and how your career is progressing. The review will help to identify gaps in your development and enable you to create specific development plans. It will also give you the opportunity to think about where you are going with your career overall.

Sponsorship for Professional Qualifications

We encourage associates to build on their professional knowledge and technical competence. In cases where study is of direct benefit to the firm, we will support you financially. We also provide you with practical help and, if necessary, time off to allow you to study for exams. In some cases we will reward exam success with a salary increase or bonus payment.
