So many companies release reports and whitepapers this week. In our update, we are highlighting three reports that are worth the read.
Many companies are taking measures to increase pay equity among workers, research from talent solutions and business consulting firm Robert Half shows. Nearly seven in 10 C-suite executives surveyed in Canada (69 percent) said they have observed salary discrepancies between new hires and more tenured staff in the past year. Of those, 57 percent are regularly reviewing compensation plans and increasing salaries for existing employees, when appropriate, to align with current market rates.
“In today’s tight labour market, employers need to recognize and resolve any pay discrepancies that may exist among employees in order to retain talent and remain competitive as an organization,” said David King, Canadian senior managing director of Robert Half. “Companies should take deliberate steps to improve their compensation strategy, including benchmarking salaries, conducting pay equity reviews, and making adjustments as needed to ensure all employees are paid fairly for their work.”

“Along with addressing salary gaps, companies need to provide a fulsome compensation and benefits package that promotes a positive employee experience overall,” added King. “That includes offering opportunities for career development and advancement, additional paid time off, flexible schedules, and remote or hybrid work options.”
