Report for Staff

It has been a challenging year, with the global economy contributing to increased market competition. However, the end results were fairly respectable, especially considering the industry’s generally poor financial results. The Davis Grouphas always focused on growing revenue, solving client problems, identifying new opportunities and winning new clients. Although the company had to spend more time than usual this year on cost control, our people continued to listen to their clients and deliver appropriate consulting solutions.

Although we have changed our name and introduced a new global brand, many clients still do not regard us as a broad-based human resources consultancy. We hope that our new international campaign, which explains to clients the wide range of services we offer, will help change that perception. It is significant that 50% of our revenue this year came from outside the USA, making us a truly global player.We have enormous growth potential, especially in emerging markets such as Asiaand Latin America.

These days, most of ourclients, even those with operations in only one country, compete in a global marketplace. As a result, they see the value of working with us. Our strength on the ground in many countries has allowed us to share knowledge to developand deliver world-class solutions. For those clients who are global firms, our worldwide presence has allowed us to build international networks to address their special needs. They appreciate that our intellectual capital is based ona deep understanding of local needs and conditions.

We continually aim to maximise our revenue and enhance professionalism across the solutions offered by the firm. Obviously, winning new clients is always important, but we should remember that it is often easier and more cost-effective to broaden relationships with existing clients. By providing a wider range of solutions,we add value, strengthen our clients’ view of us as a trusted advisor and build long-term partnerships. Our success is based on being known as the most professional and highest quality firm in the human resources consultancy business.
