Global variations

Publish date:

"Aligned at the Top," a new global study conducted by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (DTT) and the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), revealed that while companies tend to agree on the the importance of people to business performance and growth, key challenges and approaches vary from one region to the next. For example, human resources (HR) tends to receive its high marks in North America and low marks in Western Europe. Similarly, 60 percent of North American respondents rated people issues as "significant" or "highly significant" to strategic decision-making, compared to only 49 percent in Asia Pacific and 48 percent in Western Europe.
