87 percent of the respondents indicated the retention of employees as the goal of wage improvement, and 51 percent also mentioned the acquisition of new employees. They recalled that while in 2019, the salary improvements planned at the beginning of the year were aimed at those performing physical jobs in the majority of companies, and then two years later also at middle managers, by 2022 they were counting on salary increases for the entire company in general. This can be seen even now, for 80 percent of the respondents, the change will affect the entire company – they pointed out in the announcement.
