As the impact of the financial crisis spreads, how can you ensure that your organisation will emerge from the downturn ahead of the rest? What immediate measures should you be taking? How are others responding?

Hewitt conducted a global study to explore how the economic downturn is influencing decisions and plans in the area of HR and employee and executive rewards. In Europe, the study includes data from around 400 major companies.

The issues include: projected salary increases, short-term reward issues, balancing the current trading constraints with the long-term goals of the organisation in terms of talent acquisition and retention, the use of incentives, workforce costs and downsizing plans. The key findings from this study were presented in a teleconference on 12 December 2008.
