Advice Personnel

The results are in! A significant portion (44%) of respondents feel they are behind their professional goals. This highlights a common challenge in goal attainment, potentially due to unrealistic goal-setting, external obstacles, or inadequate resources and support. In contrast, 42% of respondents feel they are either ahead of schedule (9%) or right on pace (33%). This indicates that a substantial minority is effectively managing their goals, suggesting successful strategies, good time management, and efficient resource utilization. The fact that the largest segment feels behind suggests an opportunity for interventions like training on goal-setting, time management, and resource allocation. Organizations might consider workshops or mentorship programs to support employees in meeting their professional objectives. #poll #growth #careergrowth #motivation #goals #careergoals #yearendgoals

The results are in! It’s likely not going to surprise you that the highest percentage of respondents most associate growth with compensation. What should be much more eye-opening is how close that response was to the second place answer, “More Influence with Decisions”. This is refreshing news for managers and executives at companies that can’t always compete on compensation alone. In those environments, it can be just as impactful on retention to get key employees involved in the decision-making process. Bring them into meetings, encourage their input and show them that you value their contributions and envision them playing a bigger role in the company going forward. While it’s certainly important to stay competitive with market compensation, these survey results demonstrate that there are several other factors that can have a significant influence on your top employees without breaking the bank. #poll #salary #payraise #growth #careergrowth #motivation #motivatiors

The results are in! The majority of respondents (73%) are willing to accept some level of salary difference, as long as that discrepancy doesn’t exceed 5%. Employers should note that a significant portion of their workforce pays attention to salary differences and expects fair and transparent pay practices. Addressing salary concerns proactively and ensuring a clear rationale behind pay differences can help in maintaining employee satisfaction and trust. When it comes to pay, always assume that your team is talking to each other. Get ahead of any issues by controlling the narrative, especially when the salary gap between two same-level employees is more than 5%. #poll #salary #salaryrange #payrate #transparency #equality

The results are in! The majority of respondents (44%) believe that a minimum increase of at least 10% is necessary to be considered a legitimate raise. While this does not mean that every company should be giving an employee a 10% bump in salary every single year, it does signify that you need to be careful with your messaging around whatever that annual increase is in order to avoid the eye roll reaction. In the event that you’re proposing an annual increase of less than ~7%, be sure to position it more as a standard cost of living adjustment as opposed to trying to sell it as an official raise in pay. While it may seem like the more you hype it up, the better received it might be, you don’t want to risk losing credibility by being more excited about the number than the employee is. Save the big celebrations for the true performance-based increases! #raise #costofliving #payincrease #salaryincrease #payraise #poll
