Mercer ranks #1 in the HR Vendors of the Year 2009 Awards

 

Mercer has been ranked #1 HR Outsourcing Vendor, #1 Compensation & Benefits Consultant, #1 Employee Healthcare Consultant and #1 Succession Planning Consultant at the Singapore HR Vendors of the Year 2009 Awards. Mercer also came in second in the Employee Insurance Vendor category.

 

The annual awards were organized by Human Resources Magazine, and based on a survey conducted among HR practitioners in Singapore, with the intention of providing them with insights to improve the effectiveness of their programs. The survey also aims to help HR service vendors understand precisely how the market views them and ranks them against other players in the market.

 

Su-Yen Wong, Mercer’s managing director for ASEAN said: “We feel extremely heartened by this vote of confidence in a year that saw some very intense challenges. I would like to thank every individual in the Mercer Singapore office, for their hard work, dedication and commitment to being nothing short of the best. This is indeed a great piece of news to start the new year!”

 

HR leadership for the future of Asia

 

 

Through the astute guidance of their leaders, the smartest companies in Asia are looking ahead today, strategizing for a better future and seeking competitive advantage in view of the economic upturn. Most recognize that how they manage their human capital will largely determine how well they are able to achieve their business goals.

In September 2009, Mercer brought many of these companies together in Singapore for a dialog with Professor Dave Ulrich (Professor of Business at the University of Michigan), to discuss the role of HR leadership for the future of Asia. The afternoon's program also featured a panel discussion by Joydeep Bose (President & Global Head of HR at Olam International), Deb Henretta (Group President – Asia, Procter & Gamble), Dr. Linda Myers (Vice President - Global Talent Management at SK Holdings) and Fermin Diez (Worldwide Partner at Mercer).
