Why many employees will resign if they don’t get paid more

Meanwhile, 25% will ask to revisit the salary conversation in a few months and 17% will ask for more perks, found the survey of more than 500 workers.

A previous study from Randstad found that 43% of workers said they intend to switch jobs this year, and employers anticipate they will lose talent because other jobs offer better salaries/benefits (26%).

Pay gaps on the agenda

Numerous employers are looking to address pay gaps between their workers, according to a separate survey by Robert Half.

Nearly seven in 10 (69% of) executives have observed salary discrepancies between new hires and more tenured staff in the past year.

Among them, 57% are regularly reviewing compensation plans and increasing salaries for existing employees, when appropriate, to align with current market rates, found the survey of 234 executives from February 25 to March 08.
