Pay survey 2010

摘要

"HEALTH and safety professionals work really hard to gain qualifications and the roles are very demanding with a lot of responsibility; salary rarely reflects this," said one of the respondents to HSW's annual pay survey. The comment is typical of those we received from practitioners who clearly feel that they were never properly valued, and that two years of economic recession have done them no favours. Since around three in five have had their pay frozen or cut and a third feel their jobs are insecure, they have a point. And it's far from clear that the private sector is out of the woods yet, while for the public services the recession is just beginning.
