Recruitment agency Robert Half has published its 2021 wage guidelines for Australia, which are based on recruitment trends and wage benchmarks that the recruiter has seen when hiring specialists. Simultaneous research on 100 CIOs also provides an overview of the year ahead for IT professionals.
The study found that 82% of CIOs are worried about losing
their high-tech capabilities due to the effects of COVID-19. In response, 73%
of companies plan to extend wage increases to existing technicians. Most
executives (69%) are also willing to increase their starting salary offer to
ensure the greatest demand for IT professionals.
But it's not that easy. "Salaries have always been a
key factor in attracting and retaining IT professionals. Although there is a
willingness to offer wage increases, especially for the best performers, not
all companies are ready to take part in a bidding war when they recover from
months of uncertainty, "said David Jones, CEO of Asia Pacific. Companies
should therefore add salaries to other employee benefits to differentiate themselves
from their competitors. Non-financial benefits, such as support for work-life
balance, work flexibility, including a mix of long-term and office hours, and
career development are just some of the financial benefits that could add value
for employees in 2021. "
