Meanwhile Puneet Swani, ASEAN Business Leader for Mercer’s Information Product Solutions, said, “Companies need to ensure more focus on talent management including talent segmentation, while investing in leadership development, as well as creating a compelling overall employee value proposition.”
There will also be less variation in salary increase across industries in 2013, according to Mercer.
