LONDON, Nov. 11 -- Aon Hewitt, a subsidiary of Aon, issued the following news release:

Aon Hewitt, the global human resource consulting and outsourcing business of Aon Corporation (NYSE:AON), has announced that Jessica Everitt has joined its UK Engagement team as a Project Manager.

Aon Hewitt's well-established Engagement team examines how organisations can use employee engagement as a key performance metric to measure their resilience and sustainability

Jessica Everitt, who joins Aon Hewitt from global insurance company XL Services, has an MSc in Occupational Psychology from Goldsmiths College, University of London and a BA (Hons) in Experimental Psychology from Wadham College, University of Oxford. She is a graduate member of the British Psychological Society (MBPsS) and Division of Occupational Psychology.

Jenny Merry, Employee Engagement UK Practice Leader at Aon Hewitt said:

"Given the economic background of the last few years, engagement issues have loomed large for organisations and many are still struggling to tackle them directly. It's clear from our research that too few are focusing attention on the priority action areas and succeeding in implementing actions that will really make a difference.

"Aon Hewitt has long pioneered the concept of engagement measurement and we have now conducted research in more than 120 countries. Thankfully, forward-looking companies are looking to get more out of their employee engagement research and surveys and demand for our expertise is rising - hence the need to expand the team. We are delighted that Jessica Everitt has joined us - she has sound practical experience as well as a first class academic background and will be a valuable member of the team."
