Data Services Terms and Conditions
Towers Watson’s surveys and the results of such surveys, including participation materials and related reports (collectively, “surveys”) are made available by local Towers Watson
affiliated companies which are directly or indirectly controlled by Towers Watson & Co. (collectively referred to as “Towers Watson” or the “Towers Watson group”) on the following
terms and conditions.
Service Quality. Towers Watson will collect relevant data and conduct the surveys with reasonable care. While Towers Watson cannot be responsible for verifying the accuracy and
completeness of each data submission, a Towers Watson associate will review each data submission for overall reasonableness. Towers Watson provides the surveys on an “as is”
basis and does not provide a warranty or guarantee of any kind as to the accuracy or completeness of the surveys or the data or information contained therein. Survey results will be
available only if there are sufficient participants in the applicable survey.
Intellectual Property Rights. Towers Watson retains all intellectual property rights in the surveys. Unauthorized use or duplication without prior permission from Towers Watson is
prohibited. You shall not refer to us or include any of our work product (including, without limitation, the surveys and the information they contain) in any shareholder communication or
in any offering materials (or fairness opinion provided by your professional advisers) prepared in connection with the public offering or private placement of any security, unless
otherwise agreed in writing.
Use of Surveys. You may use the surveys only within your own organization for internal human resources planning and may not modify, sell or transfer such surveys. Surveys may not
be reproduced in employee newsletters or posted on your company’s intranet. If you desire to share the surveys (in whole or in part) with a third party (including any entity controlling,
controlled by, or under common control with your company, Towers Watson’s competitors and/or independent contractors working solely for your company), you must first obtain the
written consent of Towers Watson. Any use of the information contained in the surveys is not a substitute for seeking expert legal, consulting or other advice on the reasonableness or
appropriateness of compensation and/or benefits levels and practices.
Limitation of Liability. The aggregate liability of Towers Watson and its employees, directors, officers, agents and subcontractors (the “related persons”) whether in contract, tort
(including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise for any losses relating to the surveys provided hereunder shall not exceed in aggregate the greater of (a) $25,000 USD or
(b) the total fees paid to Towers Watson for the particular survey(s) and/or custom report(s) related to such survey(s), unless otherwise agreed in writing. Nothing in these terms shall
exclude or limit the liability of Towers Watson or our related persons in the case of: (a) death or personal injury resulting from Towers Watson’s or Towers Watson’s related person’s
negligence; (b) willful misconduct; (c) fraud; or (d) other liability to the extent that the same may not be excluded or limited as a matter of law. In no event shall Towers Watson or any of
our related persons be liable for any incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages of any kind (including, without limitation, loss of income, loss of profits, or other pecuniary
loss).
General. The validity and interpretation of these terms will be governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States of America, excluding its conflict of law rules. The parties
submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of New York, United States of America Courts to resolve any dispute between them, provided that Towers Watson shall have the right to
initiate proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of breach of Towers Watson’s proprietary rights. The parties hereby waive any right they may have to demand a
jury trial. These terms will apply to purchase orders generated by your company for survey results provided hereunder. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms and
conditions of such purchase orders and these terms, these terms will prevail. Separate terms and conditions apply to use and access of online tools. You shall not assign or otherwise
transfer any rights or obligations under these terms without Towers Watson's prior written consent.
Participation Terms
By participating in Towers Watson’s surveys, you will be deemed to have agreed to the following participation terms on behalf of your company and you represent that you have
authority to submit data. As a participant in this survey, your company's name will be included on survey participant lists. Survey participants must submit data on a timely basis and
provide an accurate and complete data submission, including, if relevant, long-term incentive information and responses to the policies and practices questions. Data may be submitted
directly via the Towers Watson portal hosted in the USA. If your company’s data submission is late or does not meet the requirements for a particular survey, Towers Watson may, at
its discretion, limit/deny access to such survey results. For select surveys, participants must submit executive data to purchase executive products, middle management, professional
and support data to purchase non-executive products and industry-specific functions/disciplines/positions to purchase associated industry-specific survey products.
Confidentiality and Use of Data. Participant data submitted to the surveys will be held in confidence. Towers Watson takes reasonable security precautions, including the same
precautions Towers Watson takes to protect our own confidential information, to prevent unauthorized access. Participant data will be used by Towers Watson for purposes of creating
aggregated survey results which are presented in a manner that protects individual company confidentiality. Towers Watson reserves the right to use participant data in multiple
surveys, where relevant, which may be available to participants and non-participants. Participant data and survey results may be used by Towers Watson for training, quality
assurance, research and development, compensation and/or benefits consulting services (e.g., market/job pricings) and general promotional activities such as trends analysis that are
provided to survey participants and other selected clients of Towers Watson.
Data Protection. Towers Watson may pass participant data, which may include individually identifiable information, within its global network of offices and affiliates (including the
Towers Watson Global Resource Centre) and to subcontractors and providers of IT outsourcing who will be subject to appropriate data protection standards. The Global Resource
Centre is located in Manila, The Philippines, and will be used to analyze such data in connection with the surveys. The Manila corporate entity is a wholly owned subsidiary in the
Towers Watson group, and it is governed by the same information security policies and internal controls that govern the Towers Watson group as a whole. Irrespective of where
Towers Watson receives or holds such data, Towers Watson confirms that, acting as data processor, Towers Watson will take appropriate technical, physical and
organizational/administrative measures to protect such data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or access. Towers
Watson will use such data only for the purposes described above or for other reasonable purposes which are related to the surveys and services, unless a participant instructs Towers
Watson otherwise. Participant and Towers Watson shall each comply with applicable data privacy legislation and regulations.

Compensation Survey Report - U.S.
Statistical Methodology
Towers Watson Data Services’ survey reports present compensation information on all segments of the
workforce across countries and regions. As a result, there is substantial continuity in the formats and content of
data presentations from report to report. At the same time, each report is designed to provide data that are
most pertinent to the specific types of jobs covered as well as the expressed needs of subscribers. As a result
of these variations, some of the terms and scope factors contained in this section do not appear in every
report.
For a complete list and definitions of terms used refer to the Glossary of Terms.
Data Review
In accordance with our objective to publish the most representative information possible, all data are
thoroughly reviewed by compensation professionals using proprietary data diagnostic programs and statistical
modeling techniques. Participants are contacted to confirm job matches, resolve omissions, inconsistencies, or
other questionable input, and clarify specific policy questions.
Data Confidentiality
Where there are limited samples, the descriptive statistics displayed also are limited. To ensure confidentiality,
statistics are displayed if there are five or more organizations reporting. The 10th and 90th percentiles are
displayed only for samples of 10 or more. Blanks or dashes indicate instances where there are insufficient
data. In addition, no organization’s data dominate the sample statistics by more than 25 percent.
Towers Watson Data Services maintains the confidentiality of each individual organization’s data, and any
information published is aggregated so that individual organization data cannot be identified. Under no
circumstances will we disclose individually identified data.
Incumbent and Organization-Weighted Statistics
For incumbent-weighted statistics, the compensation and scope figures reported for each incumbent are used
to compute the descriptive statistics. No organization's data dominates the results by more than 25 percent.
For organization-weighted (or organization average) statistics, one average figure is computed for each
organization on each compensation and scope element; then descriptive statistics are computed from these
averages. Organization-average statistics weight each participant’s input on an equal basis, regardless of the
number of incumbents reported.

The following text describes the compensation totals used by Towers Watson Data Services globally and the
data elements included in each total. Because compensation programs vary by country, either by statute or
custom, only those elements that are relevant to the market are included. In some markets where it may be
important to distinguish compensation elements such as specific types of allowances, an expanded version of
the elements are collected.
Base Salary 12 Months: Twelve months of monthly base salary
Base Salary: Base Salary 12 Months + Other Fixed Pay.
Total Guaranteed Compensation: Base Salary + Total Fixed Cash Allowances
Total Compensation: Total Guaranteed Compensation + Short Term Incentives
Total Rewards: Total Direct Compensation + Benefits

Survey Methodology
The Towers Watson survey methodology is an integrated process combining elements from each of our two
proprietary leveling methodologies, Career Map and the Global Grading System (GGS). The combination
yields a unique and systematic approach to matching jobs that encompasses the concept of career
progression through Career Levels with differentiated job size as determined by Global Grades. See Leveling
for further details.
● Career Map - The Towers Watson Career Level methodology is based on a series of Career Bands, each
with a number of distinct Career Levels. Career Bands enable companies to structure work and jobs
based on progressive levels of expected contribution. Career Levels represent discernible broad steps in
a career progression, which are consistent across organizations. They reflect the normal market
progression of jobs requiring higher levels of competence and knowledge as people advance in their
careers.
● Global Grading System - The Towers Watson Global Grading System (GGS) measures the relative
internal value of distinct jobs within a company according to specific dimensions and aligns those values
with quantifiable differences in pay levels in the external marketplace. Global Grades, which are linked to
organization size, reflect the impact of size on job scope at higher levels, thus enhancing data
comparability across organizations of varied size. Global Grades create a single top-to-bottom framework
to facilitate leveling and drive consistency across Career Bands, Functions and Disciplines. They provide
the foundation, or underpinning, for both Executive Benchmarks and the broad-based Career Levels and
define the start and end points of a career progression.
The integrated survey methodology enables participants to align jobs with both approaches to job leveling in a
single process, which supports job match validation and helps provide globally consistent results. See Job
Matching for details.
For purposes of Towers Watson surveys, multiple Career Bands have been identified. Within each of the
Career Bands there are four to six Career Levels, which span six to eleven Global Grades. The following
General Alignment Map of Global Grades to Career Levels provides an overview of how Global Grades align
with Career Levels, without reflecting the impact of organization size.

NOTE: The job matching methodology presented here is for survey purposes only and is not a job evaluation process. Although this
survey methodology is related to the Towers Watson Career Map and Global Grading methodologies, it may not align directly with
specific client implementation of one of these leveling methodologies. Therefore it is critical to align your internal levels to the survey
levels based on a careful review of the survey definitions to ensure proper job matching.
Matching Top Management Jobs
In the CSR Top Management Compensation Survey, positions are matched through benchmark titles and
descriptions. The benchmark positions at the executive and senior management levels allow you to match your
organization’s executives to a specific set of responsibilities, and then to differentiate between corporate and
business unit responsibilities.
Matching Nonexecutive Jobs
Middle management, professional and support positions are matched by the following steps
Step 1. Align organization levels to survey levels and assign Career Bands and Career Levels to nonexecutive
jobs; outside of North America Global Grades are also assigned to nonexecutive jobs.
Step 2. Match organization jobs to Functions and Disciplines.
Alternatively, to match your jobs using a benchmark approach, steps 1 and 2 can be reversed (i.e., match
organization jobs to Functions and Disciplines and then determine the survey levels).
Towers Watson Data Services

Compensation Survey Report - U.S.
Survey Job Matching Methodology
Step 1. Assign Career Bands Career Levels to Nonexecutive Jobs
The Career Band is determined based on whether the job is:
● Supervisor/manager or individual contributor
● Sales or nonsales
● Professional or support
● Technical support, business support or production/manual labor
The following decision tree illustrates the process for identifying the appropriate Career Band. Career Band
Summary Descriptions are included in the Leveling section of the Participant Guide.
Towers Watson Data Services

2015 CSR General Industry Human Resources
Compensation Survey Report - U.S.
Survey Job Matching Methodology
Step 2. Match organization jobs to Functions and Disciplines
The Functions and Disciplines section of the Participant Guide identify the best match for the content and
purpose of an organization's jobs.
Once the Function is identified, the Discipline that corresponds to the area of specialization is determined.
In each Function, one or more Disciplines are designated and defined as generalist/multidiscipline. Each
Function has a generalist/multidiscipline code (Discipline suffix "000"), and some Functions have additional
generalist/multidiscipline codes that apply to a subgroup of Disciplines within a Function.
The generalist/multidiscipline codes are used in the following circumstances:
● Incumbents perform more than one of the specialized Disciplines in the Function as part of their
normal responsibilities, OR
● Managers are responsible for employees in more than one Discipline within that Function.
Each Function has a No Applicable Discipline code (Discipline suffix "999"). This code is used if the
incumbent's specialization cannot be classified in any of the defined Disciplines or cannot be identified.
Once jobs are matched to Functions and Disciplines, Career Levels and Global Grade matches (outside of
North America) are reviewed to ensure they are consistent across Functions.

NOTE: The job matching methodology presented here is for survey purposes only and is not a job evaluation
process. Although this survey methodology is related to the Towers Watson Career Map and Global Grading
methodologies, it may not align directly with specific client implementation of one of these leveling
methodologies. Therefore it is critical to align your internal levels to the survey levels based on a careful review
of the survey definitions to ensure proper job matching.
Career Map and the Global Grading System, when formally implemented, enable the alignment of reward and
talent management programs across businesses. When used as internal leveling tools, these methodologies
take into account the specific organizational context of a job and the detailed set of associated accountabilities
and demands. The outcomes of these processes are highly organization-specific, while survey job descriptions
and levels are by their nature generic. Therefore, organizations that use Career Map or the Global Grading
System as their internal leveling tool are still required to match their jobs to this survey using the job matching
process outlined in this Participant Guide.
An organization's internal Global Grade or Career Level may act as a starting point, but as the Career Levels
and Global Grades contained in these surveys represent a typical or generic organization, there may be
differences between the internal value a specific organization places on a job and where the job should be
mapped for purposes of external comparison.
