Next year, a third of Russian companies (33 percent) plan to increase salaries to their employees. This is evidenced by the data of the Strategic Development Center (CSR), reports RBC.
The study showed that the growth of salaries will be about 11 percent. However, most of the firms do not plan to change the level of wages (44 percent), the plans to lower payments were reported in four percent of companies. There will be not only income, but also to the staff of employees: in 2022, each fifth company (22 percent) plans to increase the number of personnel within 10 percent.
In 2021, 15 percent of the enterprises raised the salary, employee incomes increased by an average of seven percent. In the sample of CSR – 10 thousand companies of various sectors of the economy from different regions, including two thirds – small and medium-sized businesses.
Earlier in December, the head of the Central Bank Elvira Nabiullina said that some enterprises were forced to raise salaries with a two-digit pace to keep employees against the background of lack of personnel. She also added that labor deficit began to limit production growth. This additional factor complicated and so a difficult situation – enterprises hardly catch up with growing demand. “This indicates the strengthening of the intelligence risks by the labor market,” said Nabiullin.
According to Finexpertiza analysts, the number of open vacancies in Russia turned out to be maximum since 2014. In the summer and in the fall, the 2021 companies stably lacked about 2.2 million frames, and from October 2020 to October 2021, the need for frames increased by almost a quarter. Analysts explained the lack of workers to the restoration of business activity after a pandemic.
