Shifting perspective on benefitsLooking at low cost options
• Present day definition of benefits policies goes beyond the traditionalbenefits provided such as health, retirement, insurance etc
More focus on how benefits are offered: cost effective and efficient!
Communication!
• Employees take on a broader perspective of what defines benefitse.g.– Flexible working arrangements– Recreational items and work environment

PhilippinesTight labor market benefits key talent
• Despite a devastating typhoon and little infrastructure work, the economy grewto 7.2% in 2013.
• The industry and service sector together with strong public and governmentspending will remain as the main driver of growth.• Industrial production, automotive and BPO are expected to sustain economic
growth
Philippineeconomy stillon track
• The inadequacy of employment opportunities in the country is causing the out-migration of professionals and skilled workers and is discouraging their return.
• Increasing compensation and benefits costs -• Increase contribution in Social Security and salary brackets in Health
Insurance• Companies spend 30% of total payroll on benefits
Labour IssuesandChallenges
• Salary is expected to increase at 7% this year, driven by marketcompetitiveness.
• Sales and Finance remain to be the hot jobs across industries• Insured (HMO) type of benefit is the most prevalent. MNCs are shifting to
Defined Contribution type of retirement.• Companies responded to typhoon/disaster by providing financial assistance,

ThailandWorkforce issues
• Compensation observations– From 10 years tracking, it proves that compensation management is different in
each industry.– Those long established in Thailand e.g. Chemical companies’ base pay is well
ahead of other industries. While Pharmaceutical companies drive pay at TotalCash component.
• Pay positioning shifting to a higher percentile for the last 2 years– The shift of Pay positioning from Median to 75th percentile is found in some
industries e.g. Automotive, Banking, and FMCG.– This is a reflection from the market growth and the attraction policy.
• Skilled workforce in demand– Another significant movement is on the Hiring intention from growing industries
e.g. Electronics appliances, Retails, Automotive and Hire purchase.– Good workforce planning and recruiting will become a long winning game for
Talent strategy (build vs buy).
