For the seventh year in a row, U.S. employees canexpect to
see a 3 percent median base salary increase in 2018, according to
newresearch released by the Hay Group division of Korn Ferry
(NYSE:KFY).Additionally, nearly all surveyed companies (97 percent)
reported planningsalary increases in 2018.
The salary increase figure is consistent with theactual
pay increase of 3 percent reported by the surveyed companies in
2017.These projected and actual increases have remained consistent
since the end ofthe recession and reflect employers' consistent
conservative attitude towardbase salary increases.
There is also consistency across most industries
andemployee groups, with companies indicating a 3 percent median
increase acrossthe board. "I'm not surprised we are once again
seeing a 3 percent base salaryincrease this year," said Maryam
Morse, North American Rewards and BenefitsLeader, Korn Ferry Hay
Group. "It reflects our new pay reality that substantialpay growth
isn't a given."
There is some variation of practices acrossorganizations
in the survey. Organizations at the 90th percentile indicated a3.3
percent to 3.5 percent increase across employee groups, while the
10thpercentile is showing a consistent 2.5 percent increase across
all groups."While the 3 percent salary increase number has become
the norm, that doesn'tmean that top performers won't be rewarded,
which is critical in this tightlabor market," added Morse. "These
individuals often receive two times themedian salary increase of
other employees."
"Companies are continuing to evolve how they
rewardemployees. They are relying more on short and long-term
incentive plans andfinancial recognition programs versus simply
providing larger annual increasesacross the board," said Morse.
"The key is for organizations to ensure they areoptimizing their
reward investment to drive performance and retain their
bestemployees."
根据光辉合益的最近一项调查表明,美国几乎所有的公司都计划明年给员工涨薪,但薪酬涨幅将保持不变。虽然97%的受访公司都表示计划在2018年涨薪,但美国雇员预计2018年会连续第七年保持基本工资中位数3%的涨幅。大多数行业和员工群体的涨薪幅度也将保持一致,公司董事会表示其工资中位数的增长率为3%。
此次调查也体现了组织之间的一些差别。90%的组织表示员工群体工资增长率为3.3%到3.5%,而10%的组织表示所有员工的工资增长率都为2.5%。此外,高绩效者涨薪的幅度要比其他员工要多2倍以上。
光辉合益北美薪酬福利领导者Maryam
Morse提到,"关于如何奖励员工,公司的策略正在改变,",他们更多地依靠短期与长期相结合的激励计划和财务认可计划,而不是仅仅提供更高的年度工资增长幅度。关键而言,组织要确保优化其奖励机制,以推动业绩并留住最佳员工。"
该预测数据来自于光辉合益的美国PayNet数据库中,受访者为美国450家组织。
