There are not many (if any) HR consulting firms larger than Towers Perrin and Watson Wyatt so their merger as reported at the SHRM website, Consulting Giants Watson Wyatt and Towers Perrin Merge, is pretty big news for those who use or would consider using either of these groups.
The combined firm, to be known as Towers Watson & Co., would have approximately 14,000 employees and revenues of nearly $3 billion.
For those who wonder about who is taking who, while Towers get's the first name, the new CEO will be John Haley, the current CEO of Watson Wyatt.
