ZMG-RTI Launches Compensation Guide 2025, Reinforces Data-driven Talent Strategy
ZMG Ward Howell, the Philippines’ premier executive search and leadership solutions firm, officially launched its ZMG Compensation Guide 2025 on July 9 at the New World Makati Hotel.
The gathering brought together senior executives, HR professionals, and business leaders from various industries. This marks another milestone in the firm’s continued investment in data-powered talent intelligence.
“When most firms focused solely on filling roles, we chose to lead with data, strategy, and foresight,” said Gene Gangan, Executive Director of ZMG Ward Howell, during his presentation.
From Executive Search to Talent Intelligence Leadership
The launch commemorated the success and expansion of ZMG Research and Talent Intelligence (ZMG-RTI) practice, first introduced nearly three years ago. Since then, ZMG-RTI has redefined how organizations engage with the talent market using data to inform decisions around hiring, retention, succession, and workforce planning.
ZMG-RTI’s comprehensive suite of tools includes:
- Talent Landscape Reports
- Salary and Benefits Analysis
- Talent Movement Trends
- Perception and Market Selection Studies
- Proprietary metrics such as the ZMG Attrition DataⓇ and ZMG Hiring Difficulty ScaleⓇ
These two proprietary tools are officially registered trademarks under the Philippine Intellectual Property Office. This sets ZMG Ward Howell apart as the only local executive search firm to offer such IP-protected tools, but an entire suite of talent intelligence services.
ZMG-RTI has supported an impressive list of local and globally recognized clients across a wide range of industries, providing valuable talent insights throughout key locations in the Philippines, as well as various countries in Asia.
Introducing the ZMG Compensation Guide 2025
Unlike traditional reports that focus only on either salaries or benefits, ZMG’s Compensation Guide consolidates both into a single document, delivering a holistic view of total compensation. The data is derived from a combination of internal recruitment intelligence and external market data, giving it both depth and relevance.
“We built this guide not just to inform, but to help organizations make real decisions,” said Rafaelo Talosig, Manager of ZMG-RTI. “If you want to attract and retain top talent in today’s competitive market, you have to be willing to match the expectations of professionals who bring strategic value.”
With many industries facing talent shortages, companies are urged to adopt data-backed approaches in their recruitment and retention efforts. The ZMG Compensation Guide 2025 was positioned as a key tool in this regard, offering clarity in a dynamic talent market.
The event also featured an open Q&A session where attendees raised questions about the methodology behind ZMG’s compensation data, what differentiates the ZMG Compensation Guide versus other similar products in the market, and the common challenges faced by most organizations around compensation.
