Employers holding tight to the purse strings

摘要

New Zealand employers will increase permanent staff levels, expect business activity to rise and say the skill shortage will impact the effective operation of their business or department, but this is not leading to big salary increases. The 2016 Hays Salary Guide, which contains salary and recruiting trends for more than 1,000 roles, says just 23 percent of New Zealand's workforce can expect a salary increase of three percent or more in their next review. Instead the majority of workers (68 percent) will receive an increase of less than three percent. The final nine percent will receive no increase.
