Annual wage increases no longer the norm

The CIPD have found that almost half of organisations no longer offer annual pay increases ‘across the board’ based on inflation or cost of living.

The trend instead seems to be to allocate budgets to departmental level for distribution to staff based on individual contribution. All good, but avoiding claims for discrimination from the disgruntled requires good performance management and clear communication.
