30% of managers will not increase their employees in 2010
2010 may not advertise more gratifying that the 2009 pay plan. According to a study released Thursday by the auditing firm Grant Thornton, * 30% of French business leaders are planning not to increase any of their employees this year. France may yet consider themselves privileged compared to other countries like the United States, Ireland or the United States, where the change is even more radical one year to another: 40 % of U.S. companies do not want to increase their employees in 2010, against 15% in 2009!
While employees are still more than last year, pending revaluation salary, "2010 should be even tighter than in 2009" predicted Pierre Le Gun?hec, business manager, global compensation consulting at Hewitt France. "In 2009, companies are aware of the seriousness of the crisis once and within budget.In 2010, they will reflect "said he.
Increases of 2.6% on average
Caution should therefore be in order. The latest forecast made by Hewitt anticipated increases equivalent to 2.6% on average, against 2.9% last year. "The current economic fragility leaders to take caution," said Jean-Jacques Pichon, partner at Grant Thornton. "It seems that leaders prefer to remain vigilant and keep their employees, even without the increase, rather than dismissing them," analysis does.
Employees do not understand, however, none of it."The challenge for companies is to overcome the high voltage generated by conflicting interests," said Pierre Le Gun?hec.
