Around 34% of respondents surveyed felt that downsizing at global headquarters was being undertaken at the same proportion as in the Asia Pacific Japan region. However a further 33% felt that downsizing in the Asia Pacific Region had not been as severe as what was being experienced at the global headquarter level. Less than 10% of HR practitioners were experiencing worse cutbacks in the region versus the global level.
