LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill., January 21, 2014 – Starting today, organizations around the world are able to participate in the Top Companies for LeadersTM study, now in its 7th iteration, sponsored by Aon Hewitt, the global talent, retirement and health solutions business of Aon plc (NYSE: AON). One of the most comprehensive global leadership studies in the marketplace, the Aon Hewitt Top Companies for Leaders study examines how organizations choose and develop leaders and analyzes the correlation between leadership practices and business results. Participating companies will receive a complimentary research brief with key findings from the 2014 study.
“In today’s fast-paced, increasingly complex world, strong leadership is more than a competitive advantage--it is a business imperative. What distinguishes great leadership today is the ability to craft competitive strategies, manage risk, and build a sustainable pipeline of talent who can drive innovation and implement change,” said Pete Sanborn, global leader of the Talent and Organization Practice at Aon Hewitt. “Our study identifies those companies that have a dedicated focus, passion, and commitment to nurturing these leadership traits and shows how they are staying ahead of the curve in attracting and developing world-class talent.”
Aon Hewitt has conducted Top Companies Leadership studies throughout North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. The global and regional Top Companies for Leaders lists will be announced in late 2014.
