According to the Gartner Inc survey, Only one in three employees around the world are happy with their salary. This makes nearly 32 percent of employees around the world happy with their current salary.
During the course of the survey, the company spoke to 3500 employees from various fields of work.Â
The survey also showed that the feeling of unfairness among the employees mainly stems from a deep lack of trust towards their employers.
The top reasons behind this are as under:-
- Toxic culture
- Poor inclusivity
- Inadequate work-life balance
- Unfair experiences were found to be the lack of trust seen in the employees.
The main reason behind the survey was to determine the reasons behind the rise in resignations in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.Â
Tony Guadagni, senior principal in the Gartner human resources practice said in a statement, “Employee perceptions of pay equity aren’t rooted in compensation.”
“Instead, the main driver of perception is organizational trust when employees don’t trust their employers, they don’t believe their pay is fair or equitable,” Tony Guadagni added.
However, the survey also said that the general perception is not in sync with reality. The official data suggests that companies have worked towards closing pay gaps.
According to the survey, eight in 10 organizations conducted annual pay equity audits to understand the situation better in 2022.
