Watson Wyatt Data Services (WWDS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Watson Wyatt Worldwide, is a leading provider of compensation, benefits and employment practices information to the global employer community. From offices around the world we solicit, analyze and publish an extensive library of printed, interactive, and on-line survey reports. Our compensation databases are recognized worldwide as the most reliable source of current data for compensation planning.
Global scope, local knowledge
Covering more than 97 countries worldwide and 21 countries in the Middle East and Africa region, our data centres in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia and Latin America annually compile reports on the remuneration, benefits, and employment practices of local and multinational companies. Our “in-country experts” apply their local knowledge of the varied employment markets, practices and customs to deliver a complete compensation picture that can be used to create sound, market based-pay programs for entire organisations. In the EMEA database alone, our database contains compensation information based on the annual survey participation of more than 7,000 organisations (more than 1,000 out of the MEA region) from emerging growth companies to the big market players.
In addition to compensation surveys, WWDS also publishes references that help HR practitioners attract, retain and reward exceptional employees. These guides cover a wide variety of subject areas, including variable pay, performance management and personnel policies on a local, regional and global basis.
