1998 Compensation Reports - Asia Pacific
1998 will be a year full of challenges in the Asia Pacific region. Recent changes in the economic climate have affected businesses in many ways. The business environment has become tougher and managers have to face the challenges of difficult trading conditions and rising costs. While companies need to control and reduce operating costs, during this time of upheaval they also need to retain their most talented and dynamic staff. Watson Wyatt has just published its 1998 Compensation Reports covering 12 countries in the Asia Pacific region: Australia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, SriLanka, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. Each of these reports contains comprehensive market data on salaries and benefit levels compiled from our on-going surveys. A special feature of this year's reports is an analysis of the implications of the recent economic downturn and currency depreciation on the employment market, the business environment and salary and benefits of employees in each of the countries surveyed.
