Already in their 35th and 34th editions respectively, these reports offer up-to-date information on employee benefits and employment terms and conditions in 19 countries – Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
These reports are aimed at executives with cross-border management responsibility who are looking to ensure that they are able to customise the employment package according to the local legislative and cultural environment.
Alongside these and the firm's equivalent Eastern and Central European reports, Watson Wyatt is also developing combined benefits and employment conditions reports for a number of Middle Eastern and Africa countries, such as Egypt, Bahrain and South Africa.
A final word
Karin Bogart, consultant at Watson Wyatt and editor of one of the reports, highlighted some of the main challenges currently facing the EU. “Firstly, addressing demographic ageing and its impact on the workforce and secondly, the unemployment or underemployment of youth and older workers. Europe is also facing a growing shortage for high-skilled labour, especially in the technology and engineering sectors. With such a shortage, will Europe be able to sustain global competition with countries such as China or India?”
