This 9e edition, which was conducted with more than 350 organizations from a wide range of industries, focused on assessing organizations’ intentions not only in terms of salary increase budgets and the salary structure of their employees, but also in terms of various ongoing initiatives being considered or implemented to address labor issues.
“Despite an uncertain economic environment, record inflation has resulted in significantly higher wage forecasts for 2023 than they have been since we launched our wage increase survey 9 years ago,” he said. declared Evelyne Gaudreau, Consultant and Head of Studies at PCI Compensation Consulting. These new forecasts reflect the harsh reality facing organizations: a competitive labor market, driven in part by an aging population, and inflationary pressures that are just beginning to ease. »
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE IBO SALARY INCREASE INVESTIGATION
- Salary increase budget
- The average forecast budget for 2023 is between 3.2% and 4.5% depending on the sector – Energy / Mining / Materials / Natural Resources being the most generous.
- At 3.2%, the expected rate of wage increase in Culture and leisure / Accommodation and catering sector is somewhat surprising given the labor issues that particularly affect this industry.
- Data collected for 2022 and 2023 shows that the larger the organization, the lower the rate of salary increases.
- Supplementary budget for salary increases
- 53% of the organizations surveyed have an additional budget of 2.5% on average to recognize special cases (high-potential employees, employees in accelerated progression, employees in a situation of labor shortage, etc.), an actual budget in 2022 similar to that of 2023 planned, but higher than the trend observed in recent years which was between 1.5% and 2%.
- Salary structure
- In 2022, 7% of organizations in Quebec have frozen their salary structure, while only 2% plan to do so in 2023.
- Structure increase budgets average 3.3%, a notable increase from the 2% trends we have seen in recent years.
