India Inc salary to rise 9.5 percent in 2024: Report
The report presents a picture of cautious optimism based on data from over 1400 organizations across a variety of sectors, India Inc salary to rise by 9.5. It represents India's economic resiliency, which is slowly approaching the 10 percent pre-pandemic standard.
The Annual Salary Increase and Turnover Survey by Aon indicates that employees in India can anticipate a 9.5 percent compensation increase in 2024. Even though this number is marginally less than the 9.7% increase that was observed in 2023, it still surpasses that of other developing nations like China, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
The report presents a picture of cautious optimism based on data from over 1400 organizations across a variety of sectors. It represents India’s economic resiliency, which is slowly approaching the 10 percent pre-pandemic standard.
Below the national average, the study paints a more nuanced picture. Driven by infrastructure investments, manufacturing stays stable at 9.7 percent, but the services sector experiences a minor decline to 9.4 percent. This discrepancy demonstrates how different influences have an impact on various industries.
It’s interesting to note that the paper also explores business tactics. Some are proposing significant increases exceeding 20 percent, while others are suggesting lower increases (less than 6 percent) in comparison to the previous year. This implies a strategic strategy to keep talent in a market for jobs that is very competitive.
Fortunately, attrition rates are on the downswing, with a decrease from 21.4 percent in 2022 to 18.7 percent in 2023. Because of this stability, organizations are able to concentrate on improving their capacities and output, which generates a positive feedback cycle.
Intriguing trends are further revealed by sector-wise examination. Forecast increases indicate stability or even growth in industries like FMCG, health sciences, and engineering, which are mostly driven by domestic consumption and less vulnerable to global challenges.
On the other hand, because of the impending global recession, IT, professional services, and financial institutions are expected to experience declines. NBFCs, or non-banking financial businesses, are particularly noteworthy as they have greater predicted growth, which is probably driven by domestic demand.
Interestingly, the poll also shows a constant trend: junior and middle management get bigger wage increases than top and CEO positions. This implies that developing talent pipelines and future leaders should be a priority.
Additionally, businesses are becoming more comfortable cutting non-merit salary components, which indicates a move away from market-driven changes and toward more strategic compensation methods. Merit-based raises are still consistent, averaging 8.2 percent.
In summary, Aon’s analysis presents a cautiously optimistic picture of sustained development for India’s pay landscape until 2024. Even though the average declines marginally overall, a deeper examination reveals notable sectoral disparities and corporate strategy changes.
“Leaders are likely to shift towards building supportive work environments to foster employee engagement in this dynamic job market,” says Jang Bahadur Singh, director of talent solutions at Aon India, with aptness. In the upcoming year, acquiring top talent and navigating the changing economic landscape will require this transition in addition to clever remuneration approaches.
