Companies report reductions in employees' salaries and
benefits
SEATTLE, Sept. 4,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ResumeTemplates.com, the
leading platform for free professional resume templates and
examples, has published a recent survey report. In August,
ResumeTemplates.com surveyed 1,000 business leaders in the United States to understand how economic
pressures and a tight labor market are impacting salaries and
benefits within their companies.
"If companies keep cutting salaries,
reducing benefits, and denying salary increases to current
employees, they are going to lose talent," says ResumeTemplates'
Chief Career Strategist Julia Toothacre.
According to the survey, 27% of companies have reduced current
employees' salaries. . In contrast, 71% of companies report having
not reduced any salaries, while 2% of respondents say they are
unsure. For companies that reduced some but not all workers'
salaries, the primary reason cited was employee performance
(58%).
Notably, half of companies have also cut employees' benefits.
The most common changes to employee benefits include reduced paid
time off (PTO)/vacation days (23%), decreased or removed stock
options/equity grants (21%), and reduced or eliminated meal
allowances (20%).
"If companies keep cutting salaries, reducing benefits, and
denying salary increases to current employees, they are going to
lose talent," says ResumeTemplates' Chief Career Strategist Julia
Toothacre. "They will also create a culture of mediocrity. People
will go above and beyond if they're appreciated and compensated,
but if they aren't, they will pull back on productivity."
Survey findings also suggest 9% of companies will not give
raises to any current employees, while 77% of companies say they
plan to give or have already given raises this year, and 15% are
unsure. However, 21% of companies say they will not provide a
cost-of-living adjustment to all employees.
This survey, conducted in August
2024, and included 1,000 U.S. business leaders. Participants
