Check out this infographic from Recruiters with some predicted salary trends for 2020.
We’re well into December now and as we prepare to enter the next decade, we’ve been taking a look at some predictions for all things science and tech next year.
One of the topics on people’s minds when it comes to work is whether there will be any changes in salary. And with Brexit on the horizon, it’s not always clear how our jobs and wages may be impacted.
But to help us get some insights, Recruiters has published a new Salary Predictions Guide for 2020. Introducing the contents of the guide, its authors wrote: “As we head into 2020, Brexit still looms. There has been great uncertainty surrounding Brexit for more than three years now and the markets do not respond well to uncertainty.
“However, from our view of the market in Ireland, demand for talent remains strong and is driven by growth within Ireland’s export-led economy.”
According to Recruiters, 94pc of its clients surveyed said they expect salaries to increase in 2020.
Gender pay gap
The report also touched on the gender pay gap and how it might evolve from 2020 onwards. Recruiters said that proposed legislation that would require all large companies in Ireland to report on the difference between how much men and women earn in their organisation would “not be enough to mend the gender pay gap” on its own.
“Once the legislation is enacted, companies with 250 or more employees will need to publish and explain data in relation to their gender pay gaps and this will stretch to smaller companies in subsequent years.
“Therefore, it’s important for companies to start putting measures in place now, not only to gather the data, but to be honest about the gender gaps and start putting measures in place to close them for 2020.”
Points to take away
Finally, the guide includes some advice for businesses hoping to prepare for the changes that 2020 will inevitably bring, with tips on how to attract and retain talent in the new year and developing an employer brand identity.
The workforce of the future, according to Recruiters, “will be more flexible and more diverse than ever before, especially when it comes to generational differences”.
