In a recent telephone survey conducted by La Crème, senior level operational and HR managers with staff in the Office Support, Sales & Marketing, Multi-lingual, HR and Legal functions were asked if they expected basic salary levels to increase / decrease or stay the same over the next 12 months and if there was an increase / decrease by what %?

The majority (72.8%) of employers surveyed expect salary levels to remain unchanged over the next 12 months.

18.4% of employers expect salaries to increase by 15% in the next 12 months and a minority (8.8%) of employers expect a 1– 10 % reduction in basic salaries.
