LONDON, 1 May 2013 – Aon Hewitt, the global talent, retirement and health solutions business of Aon plc (NYSE:AON), has announced the opening of its annual survey of compensation and benefits in the hotel industry across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

 

Last year's Hotel Industry Rewards Group EMEA Survey provided compensation and benefits data for 128 jobs at all levels within the hotel industry, taken across 22 groups and individual hotels in 32 countries and covering over 1000 hotels across EMEA. The number of respondents to this year's survey already exceeds those figures.

 

Andrew MacLeod, leader of Aon Hewitt's pay research practice in the EMEA region, said:

"Our annual survey provides the most detailed compensation and benefits data on hotel roles in the market today. With a steering committee of Intercontinental Hotels Group, FRHI, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, Marriott International and Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts, we already capture a substantial section of the hotel industry in EMEA.

 

"However, although the number of respondents to the survey has increased considerably over the last couple of years, we are always striving to make the survey even more definitive, so we are very happy to welcome new hotels – whether individual or groups."
