Why participate in an Aon Hewitt remuneration report?

As an Aon Hewitt remuneration report participant you have access to the very latest market data to ensure informed salary decisions within your organisation.

Along with Aon Hewitt’s high level of client service, your remuneration report subscription includes:

� Online remuneration data through Data Centre that can be filtered according to your needs. With enhanced data visualisation, individual report dashboards and real-time polling and updates, Aon Hewitt’s Data Centre is at the forefront of online remuneration analytics.

� Comprehensive coverage with data on all major elements of the remuneration package; salary, benefits and both short and long-term incentives.

� Historical coverage of actual salary movements, as well as forecasts for the coming year.

� Online access to remuneration reports from the past five years.

� Career level data that provides separate remuneration tables for each job family, which can be used to enhance job matching, or as an alternative source of data for non-standard positions.

� Attendance at remuneration forums, complimentary events that provide a chance to discuss and critically evaluate data findings and market trends and network with industry peers.

� Easy access to relevant economic indicators via Data Centre.

� Invitation to participate in the annual Policy and Practice Report that provides access to quantitative and qualitative information which supports the review and design of total reward programs.

From year to year we see many variations in the way organisations reward their employees. Some positions begin attracting a significantly higher rate of pay whilst others drop, as supply and demand for various skill-sets shift and change. As circumstances change organisations adjust their reward packages to get the most out of limited salary budgets.

Staying informed of market movements is critical to ensure your reward strategies are meeting your business needs whilst minimising costs.

The money spent on a remuneration report subscription can be made back many times over in savings through optimising total reward spend and retaining key talent.

Single Data Capture

Submit your data once per year, at a time that suits you.

At Aon Hewitt, we know submitting remuneration data takes time, especially if you participate in multiple remuneration reports. So to make things easier, we utilise a single data capture document regardless of the survey you subscribe to. We also allow you to elect the time of year to complete your submission*.

� One data submission per year – saving you time

� Flexible data submission dates – select the timeframe that suits you

� Position matching matrices – to make job matching easier.

* As most Aon Hewitt reports are participant only, data submission may be required pre-survey release to begin your first subscription.

Data submission The provision on your organisation’s remuneration data is a condition of participation in Aon Hewitt remuneration reports. This ensures the veracity of the data provided in the remuneration report. Our customised data input software Rapid Rem makes submitting remuneration data a simple process.
