'Winning the war for talent can't be about paying more. Employers who have paid what the market demanded this year now have issues with pay equity and overall compensation structures,' says OperationsInc CEO David Lewis. 'Companies need a multi-faceted strategy, developed alongside experts , designed to attract and retain, where employees are asked what they value, resulting in an approach that meets everyone's needs.'
Additional findings from the survey of 1,000 U.S. workers show that:
- Half (50%) of workers surveyed say they will or may look for a new job in the next six months. Within this group, one in two (49%) say that a higher salary is the top reason they plan to look for a new job.
- More than half (54%) of men say they would not be happy or satisfied with a pay raise of less than 6% this year vs just over one-third (37%) of women, and nearly one in five (18%) men vs one in 10 (11%) women say they would not be satisfied with a raise of less than 10%.
- Men (22%) were almost twice as likely as women (12%) to say they received a pay increase or increase in benefits to return to the office.
