Ian Till, Country Manager at Hewitt Thailand, said "Most organisations in Thailand are facing similar impacts from the deteriorating economic situation due both to the global crisis and the recent local political situation.  However, in these trying times, we found that The Best, in terms of economic growth, generate revenue growth that is higher than The Rest. In a similar manner The Best also had higher profitability growth compared to The Rest.

"This year's study revealed that The Best employers have captured higher market share (revenue) and delivered higher profitability when compared against The Rest during the past two years. The Best have focused not just on capturing market share, but also on creating more efficient businesses"
