As we edge closer to the peak time for pay reviews this month’s Executive Compensation Review includes our first survey of management pay awards in 2010, covering those conducted during the three months to January, a period that usually gives an early indication of what lies ahead for pay reviews during the year. We also take a look at the latest graduate recruitment and pay trends, seeing whether the market will improve this year after being hit heavily by the cost-cutting axe in 2009.
Also included in March's edition is how international industrial services group Harsco implemented a new global pay and grading structure. While June Grant, a Senior Principal at Aon Consulting, assesses the impact of the Government’s announcement last year of a move to restrict pensions tax relief for those earning over £150,000.
This month sees the publication of our latest Pay and progression for graduates. This year’s survey is based on over 100 companies providing information about their graduate schemes, including recruitment numbers, starting salaries, attraction and selection methods and the impact of the recession.
