(Keystone-ATS) A third of employees asked for nothing, and therefore obtained nothing, while 14% saw their request for a raise refused, indicates the recruitment firm in a press release. And 11% had to change employers to get better pay.
Stagnating income has consequences for employee satisfaction. Only 4% of respondents say they are “very satisfied” with their current remuneration while 36% are “dissatisfied” with their salary, judged to be below their expectations.
Nearly half of employees surveyed plan to change jobs if they don’t get a raise in 2025. And nearly three-quarters of them hope to get a raise this year.
As for employers, 51% of them think that their employees are satisfied with their salary, while 30% are convinced of the opposite. 74% say they will increase their employees in 2025. Robert Walters contacted 16,750 people based in Switzerland to carry out his survey.
