Career & Compensation Alerts

October 5, 2007 10:17 AM

Employees in Asia-Pacific and Latin America will receive better merit raises in 2008 than American and European employees, according to a soon-to-be-published report by Watson Wyatt Worldwide. Based on a global survey of 946 companies, merit-based pay is anticipated to increase by 5 percent in Asia-Pacific and 4.5 percent in Latin America. The United States is looking at a 3.6 percent boost in merit raises and Europe a mere 3 percent. "The challenge to attract and retain skilled workers remains especially acute in Asia-Pacific and Latin America," says Laura Sejen, Watson Wyatt global director of strategic rewards, "where rapid economic growth, high turnover and the expectation of frequent promotion keep pushing up compensation."
