2010 Quarter 3 Salaries Remain Steady

The Chapman Consulting Group has released its Quarter 3, 2010 Salary Report figures for HR positions across Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, China and Australia. The report surveys more than 200 Human Resources practitioners on current salary figures as well as near future expectations.

After a sharp increase in salaries in 2009 and throughout 2010, we are starting to see the numbers stabilising. “This is in line with hiring demand also starting to level off, with many companies already coming close to depleting their hiring budgets for 2010”, said Ben Davies, Associate Director of The Chapman Consulting Group.

The figures used are for guaranteed fixed cash (base salary plus guaranteed bonus) and excludes any discretionary payment (such as variable bonus, stock options) as well as allowances. This report should be taken as a guide only. The Chapman Consulting Group bears no responsibility for errors or omissions therein.
