Understanding compensation, benefits and mobility trends in Europe

While European countries reshape their policies in response to global market turbulence, they continue to move towards establishing a single pan-European economy. Employers with European operations are harmonizing their compensation and benefits policies, but significant differences persist from country to country.

So if you are already doing business in Europe, or if you are planning to enter this major market, our 2009 HR Atlas Europe is your quick reference for a wealth of information that you will need on European HR issues and trends. Europe presents significant employee mobility challenges that no regional HR manager can afford to ignore.

While the early years of this millennium saw a marked increase in housing,education and travel costs in Europe, the recent economic crisis – and the strengthening of the US dollar – have changed the relative cost of living across the region significantly. Our report presents country-specific cost-of-living and quality-of-living data that can help you maintain both internal equity and external competitiveness while managing an increasingly mobile talent pool.

The 2009 HR Atlas Europe gives you the following valuable information in one volume:

• Key economic indicators for 31 countries

• Local compensation practices, annual base salary and annual total cash information for 25 benchmark positions, presented in USD and local currencies

• Local benefits practices and country-specific snapshots of the benefits that European companies offer

• International mobility information: current, specific data on cost of living, quality of living, expatriate housing and education, and foreign travel expenses; and listings of typical hotel costs and per diem travel costs in major cities to help you benchmark your shortterm business travel costs.

Our 2009 report presents current, reliable HR information across a range of key markets that will help you refine your strategy for doing business in Europe.
