Strategic Compensation Survey 2009 - Brazil
	Data Services

Strategic Compensation Survey – over the last three years the most modern and complete tool that combines reliability and innovation to support managers in evaluating the external competitiveness of compensation packages.

In October of 2003, Watson Wyatt launched the first edition of its total compensation survey for the Brazilian market: Strategic Compensation Survey. The feedback from participants of the four editions was highly positive and essential for the improvement of the survey . It helped us establish the survey as one of the most reliable tools for compensation assessment in our market. Of the feedback we received, some of the most noteworthy are the following:

• 96% of the participants reported that the Watson Wyatt team was always available for assistance in the data gathering process;
• 97% reported that the job-matching meeting facilitated the data gathering process;
• 96% believe that the jobs surveyed satisfy the needs of their organization;
• 93% informed that the participating companies were sufficient to enable them to know the practices of the competitor market;
• 97% understand that the deadline for delivery of the results is adequate for assisting in their salary review;
• 96% intend to participate again in the survey;
• All the companies that responded would recommend Watson Wyatt for the execution of similar projects.

Another important point was the growth in the list of participating companies – from 58 companies on the 1st edition to more than 130 companies on the 4th edition, an increase greater than 130% in just three years - as well as their relevance in different industries in the market.

Aligned with our principles of fostering closer relationships with our customers and providing innovative solutions, we would like to invite you to participate in the 5th edition of the Strategic Compensation Survey. We will also be delivering updated results at the end of the year.

So Watson Wyatt's Strategic Compensation Survey includes varied components, to address the variety of organizational structures in the marketplace. The comprehensive Catalog of Positions comprises nearly 400 positions — from CEO to assistant – that are found in all departments in most organizations.

Positions Comparison (Job Matching) We will compare positions in your organization to those in the catalog, and will analyze the similarities and disparities using our Global Grading System™.

It will provide strategic analysis of the company’s grading structure.

The report will include: Survey methodology and definitions; Detailed results for each surveyed position, including comparisons between your company and market statistics; Market curves based on the Global Grading System™; Results based on the company’s grading structure; Benefits practices; Forecasts of salary increases based on information provided by companies in the market; Analyses of and general comments on the market.
