Hewitt acquires CSi
 
 
Hewitt acquires specialist remuneration consultancy in Australia and New Zealand

In March, we announced that Hewitt has acquired CSi - The Remuneration Specialists. CSi is a specialist remuneration consultancy and survey database firm based in Australia, with offices in Sydney, Melbourne, and Auckland. The firm has been in operation for 23 years and employs 40 individuals. CSi's product offerings include 35 compensation surveys for the Australian and New Zealand markets, salary review management software, and specialist remuneration training. CSi consultants provide expert advice and innovative solutions to assist organizations with all areas of remuneration management.

"There are many benefits in the coming together of the two companies for clients of Hewitt and CSi and for our two organisations, and we are very excited about the possibilities that lie ahead of us. We have many complementary strengths and our company values and approach to taking care of our clients are very much aligned", said David Brown, Managing Director for Hewitt's ANZ operations.

It's common in an acquisition for two companies to say nice things about each other for the record. In this case, the admiration is genuine and deep. Hewitt and CSi people are "cut from the same client-oriented cloth". CSi shares Hewitt's passion for listening closely to clients to understand their needs and objectives and working with them to develop solutions that support their strategic directions.

Both firms have grown from small beginnings in Australia and New Zealand and have been successful as a result of a genuine commitment to putting the client first in our decision-making and constantly striving to provide the best possible experience and outcomes for our clients.

We share the same values and goals: to be the leading service provider; sustained growth through superior client satisfaction; and continued personal growth for our people. We believe in treating our clients, people, and suppliers with dignity and respect, ethical behavior, honesty and integrity, teamwork and collaboration and excellence through the delivery of quality and innovation in all our work.

Our new combined organisation under the Hewitt brand now places us in a unique position in the Australia and New Zealand market as the only HR consulting firm with integrated analytics offerings across compensation, engagement, and human capital applications. As a result, the suite of services we can offer our clients is very comprehensive, enabling them to come to one supplier for all of their HR consulting needs.

The Hewitt Associates company vision is to 'make the world a better place to work' and we look forward to collaborating with our clients and our new colleagues to make this a reality.
