With the employment outlook improving, employers are focusing their compensation programs on hiring and retaining top talent, according to a survey released Buck Consultants, a Xerox company and provider of human resource and benefits consulting. Employers are using hiring bonuses to attract talent and retention bonuses to keep them. Buck’s study, “Reviving and Inspiring the Workforce: 2011 Compensation Trends Survey,” found that nearly two-thirds (63 percent) of organizations report using hiring bonuses and 41 percent use or expect to implement retention bonuses. The survey included a range of employee levels including; executives, directors, managers, other exempt employees and nonexempt employees. For those employees participating in a bonus program, the study found that eight out of every 10 employees can expect to receive a payout in 2011. Forty-four percent of employers who responded to the survey expect to pay bonuses that are at least five percent larger than last year. “During the economic downturn, many employers reduced staff and asked remaining employees to do more with less. As the job market improves, these organizations are using tactics such as employee referral bonus programs to not only attract proven performers, but also help retain the employees who make referrals,” said Kathi Myers, director at Buck Consultants. “Involvement in the hiring process engages employees and strengthens their ties to the organization.”
Following a major comeback for headhunters in 2010, first quarter data for 2011 showed a continued path toward growth. According to data released by the Association of Executive Search Consultants (AESC) first quarter data revealed a seven percent rise in the number of new executive searches started worldwide from the fourth quarter of 2010. Senior executive hiring within the consumer goods and technology industries saw the greatest quarter-on-quarter strength, with the life sciences/healthcare and industrial sectors following closely behind. In Q1 2011 executive search activity in the financial services sector fell against its quarterly and yearly levels. The regional picture highlighted increased executive search activity in Europe, particularly in Germany (+34 percent), the U.K. (+14 percent), and France (+nine percent) — rising from Q4 2010 to Q1 2011 – and also increasing year-on-year.
