Need a raise? Average salary increase rate dips for 2014

Forecast for 2015 is even lower.

Is your salary going to increase this year? The latest pay report by the global management consultancy Hay Group says yes.

But premature celebrations are not in order. The average salary increase rate for 2014 is pegged at 4.3%, a significant drop from last year’s actual salary increase rate of 4.9%.

Salary increase rates are set to go further downhill in the next year. “The forecast for 2015 is a slight 0.1 percent lower than the previous 12 months as 11 percent of organisations are expecting business performance to be worse than targeted levels in 2014, signalling increasing uncertainty on global economic conditions,” noted Victor Chan, Hay Group’s Regional General Manager (ASEAN) for Productized Services.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
