In an effort to tackle retention difficulties and the drop in year-on-year earning power, organisations are focused on using inexpensive employee benefits, to keep staff motivated, according to the 2009 National Management Salary Survey published by the CMI and CELRE (www.celre.co.uk).rnAverage annual holiday entitlement, for example, is now 28 days, an increase from the 25 days reported last year. The proportion of employers offering time off in lieu of extra work has also risen, by 4 points, to 62 per cent in the past year. Many employers (89 per cent) also offer to pay exam fees for their staff and 71 per cent also cover their book costs.
