2009 Quarter 3 HR Salary and Economic Outlook Report: Little Movement in HR Salaries across the Region from Quarter 2

Posted: 15.09.09

The Chapman Consulting Group this week released the 2009 Quarter 3 Salary Report for the Human Resources profession across Asia Pacific Japan. Our salary report is based on collective discussions between April and June 2009 with HR practitioners based in Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Shanghai and Sydney.

Our salary report highlights the average base salary band for HR Head, HR Business Partner, Resourcing, Compensation & Benefits, Organisational Development and HR Operations talent in both regional and local positions in the above locations. The bands synthesise both current salaries that HR practitioners are being paid in their existing jobs, plus salaries being offered for new HR positions.

It seems the downward pressure on HR salaries across all locations that was exerted rapidly in Quarter 4, 2008 and Quarter 1, 2009 is set to show increased stability in Quarter 3, 2009. HR salaries across Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Shanghai and Sydney are expected to remain flat but could start to show growth as we move into Quarter 4.
