Most bosses are reluctant to spontaneously increase their employees in Switzerland. Last year, only 34% of employees received more without having to demand it. This is what a survey published Thursday reveals.
A third of employees asked for nothing, and therefore obtained nothing, while 14% had their request for a raise refusedindicates the recruitment firm in a press release. And 11% had to change employers to get better pay.
The stagnation of income has consequences on satisfaction employees. Only 4% of respondents say they are “very satisfied” with their current remuneration while 36% are “dissatisfied” of their salary, judged to be below their expectations.
Without a salary increase in 2025, almost half of those surveyed are considering changing companies. And nearly three-quarters of them hope to get a raise.
On the employers’ side, 51% of them think that their employees are satisfied of their pay, while 30% are convinced of the opposite. 74% say they will increase their employees in 2025. The recruitment firm Robert Walters contacted 16,750 people based in Switzerland to carry out its survey. (ats/vz)
