Section 1 CONFIDENTIALITY

Confidentiality To ensure the confidentiality of all data, a minimum number of observations is required in order for statistics to be displayed. Three organizations must report at least three observations for a variable in order for the mean to be displayed. Four organizations and four observations are required for display of the median. Five organizations reporting at least five observations are required to display 25th and 75th Percentiles. Where there has been insufficient data for analysis, this has been indicated with -. Human Resource professionals who deal regularly with surveys are aware of the variance that may exist in survey data. Data may fluctuate slightly from year to year due to changes in the participant base. It is also important to note that within a sample, a significant amount of data may be reported by one organization. It is also possible for data to change drastically from year to year due to industry-related factors and economic conditions. The information and data contained in this report are for information purposes only and are not intended nor implied to be a substitute for professional advice. In no event will Mercer be liable to you or to any third party for any decision made or action taken in reliance of the results obtained through the use of the information and/or data contained or provided herein. Mercer is providing this survey information to its clients to permit them to make independent decisions regarding salaries. Because the exchange of salary information among competitors may be construed in certain circumstances as a means to facilitate an antitrust violation, Mercer has taken appropriate steps in collecting and disseminating this information in order to avoid such perceptions. 2012 Mercer (Philippines), Inc. 3

Section 2 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

Introduction and background The Philippine economy is expected to lift 2012 growth forecast to 4% with a further push for 2013 to 4.5% given the government s ability and commitment to increase public spending. A strong pick up in construction contributed to fixed investment growth in the last quarter of 2011. On local demand, there is an uptick because of the strong remittances from overseas workers and strong growth in services exports led by Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) work. These trends are expected to continue in 2012 and with a lift in government spending, this should keep us on the growth band until 2013. To provide up to date information on key HR trends practices, Mercer conducted its first half 2012 Market Pulse Survey in February 2012 and this report details our findings. Mercer s Market Pulse survey gathers key HR information across the following areas: Salary Increases Variable pay Attrition rate Hiring intention Jobs that are priority to recruit Jobs that are challenging to recruit and retain Business expectations HR budgets Workforce planning Highlights of innovative benefits practices and trends are included in this cycle. 124 organizations from various industry sectors participated in the survey. Their details are included in Appendix 1. 2012 Mercer (Philippines), Inc. 5

Section 3 KEY FINDINGS

Key findings The projected average salary increase for 2012 is 7.4%, which is slightly higher than the 7.2% salary increase given in 2011. These figures include companies that have imposed a salary freeze, i.e. 0% increase. A positive outlook is seen in 2012 as 90% (112 companies) of the respondents plan to grant salary increases and no respondents plan to impose salary freeze across the board in 2012. Another 2 respondents are planning to impose salary freeze for certain employee groups only. For 2013, no company intend to freeze salary overall whereas, only 1 respondent plans to freeze salary for certain employee groups only. Based on current forecast, organizations project a marginal increase in variable pay percentages for 2012 (based on 2011 performance) compared to 2011 payouts. However, 2012 variable targets are more conservative compared to that projected in 2011. As the economy is emerging stronger from the recession, job prospects are regaining momentum. 72% of the respondents are planning to add headcount to their organization for 2012, while 24% of the companies indicated that they would maintain their 2011 headcount. 2012 Mercer (Philippines), Inc. 15

Salary increases The average salary increase granted for 2011 ranges from 6.8% to 7.5%, excluding salary freeze. Organizations are optimistic not only for 2012 but are also bullish for 2013. The projections for average salary increase (excluding freeze) ranges from 7.3% to 7.6% for 2012 and % to 7.7% in 2013. 2012 Mercer (Philippines), Inc. 19

For 2013, Energy, Hi-Tech and Pharmaceutical & Healthcare industries are forecasted to have positive salary growth. 2012 Mercer (Philippines), Inc. 21 22 6.5 6.8 17 6.0 6.6

Salary adjustments In 2011, the average promotion increment granted is 13.1%. This percentage is slightly higher than the 11.6% average in the results for the second half of 2011. A very minimal increase to 13.3% is seen for 2012. The range of promotion increments (between 25th and 75th percentile) were 7.9% and 17.3% for 2011. However, respondents are somehow conservative on their 2012 promotion increments as the numbers slightly dropped to 7% and 15%. Management Non sales has consistently given the highest promotion increment in 2011 and 2012 with an average of 14.6% and 13.9% respectively. Sales, HR and Finance & Accounting are the top functions being given special salary increments ranging from 8% to 12%. On the other hand, it appears that Information Technology will be given the highest salary adjustment of 13.4% (average) on top of the company s salary increase for all employees. 2012 Mercer (Philippines), Inc. 29

Variable Pay Overall, the actual variable pay given for 2011 was 19.5% (average), significantly lower than target. Companies overall are being conservative on their 2012 target as it is seen that there is minimal movement from the targeted variable pay in 2011. The Chemical and Energy Industries are seen to decrease their target variable pay for 2012, while Hi-Tech and those in the other sectors are maintaining their targets compared to 2011. 2012 Mercer (Philippines), Inc. 32

While most of the industries are planning to increase headcount, Energy, Hi-Tech and Consumer industries are looking into reducing workforce by 6 to 14%.
