43% of the companies consulted assured an increase in the total number of workers during the current year. While 15% reported that they maintained their staff size with reference to the previous year.
The report revealed that the so-called “emotional salary” is paid in physical US currency, in cash.
Regarding the benefits and variables of this “emotional” salary, completely aimed at covering deficiencies at a professional level and improving the worker’s ability to perform his job, has become ever more important. This is why it can be observed that 88% of companies grant other extra benefits for Routes and Transportation Assistance and 78% apply strategies to improve the training of hired personnel.
Regarding the increases granted to workers, 32% of the companies reported that they made 3 salary adjustments during the year and 53% of the sample mentioned that the increases ranged between 1 to 50%.
