Welcome
 
Welcome to this issue of HQ Asia Pacific magazine. Just who are 'the Millennials'? Why do HR departments and senior management need to be aware of this stream of new employees?

Our prediction is that they will have a huge influence on how corporations will recruit and, more importantly, retain and motivate a new breed of employees.

In this issue's cover story, we provide insights of importance to all of us.

Other feature stories in this issue focus on various issues and trends around benefits and pensions, such as the specific needs of mobile workers, and how tools such as Hewitt's Pension Risk Tracker can help you monitor your pension plan's funded status on a daily basis.

We also highlight common HR pitfalls experienced with ventures in Japan and the importance of relationships for mergers and acquisitions in the Korean market. Our article on long-term incentives examines what incentives will best motivate executives and other employees, and we provide 'six incentive imperatives' that offer solutions for a more balanced incentive portfolio.

Closer to home, Hewitt has acquired three companies globally since April: New Bridge Street Consultants, one of the leading executive compensation consultancies in the U.K, CSi, a specialist remuneration consultancy that provides advice to assist organizations with strategic and operational remuneration activities in Australia and New Zealand; and LCG, a U.S.-based company that specializes in absence management.

These actions further demonstrate Hewitt's focused growth agenda. We are confident the leadership of these acquisitions can help us deepen and broaden our services to clients, while accelerating our growth in critical consulting practice areas.

Enjoy the read.
