The companies foresee that the salary increases on average for 2021
will be 41% for personnel outside the agreement
.
Even so, according to the PWC Argentina survey, they will not be able to beat the estimated 46% annual inflation estimated by the same organizations consulted.
The work revealed
the forecasts of 150 Argentine companies during June
on the “Trends in Compensation and Benefits and the new post-pandemic normality”.
From the answers, the most conclusive that emerges is that the companies estimate average salary increases for 2021 of 41% for non-contract personnel.
Faced with the “new normal”, 66% of those surveyed stated that they had to make changes in their benefit policies
, in some cases, the home office, flexible hours, coverage of internet expenses, reimbursements, the provision of an ergonomic chair and lunches.
In this sense, 81% of the participating companies
confirmed
that they cover a fixed amount
(averaging $ 1,800) for internet use and most do not recognize the expenses associated with electricity and gas.
In turn,
32% of the companies reported covering the benefit of transfer or mobility through taxi or remise services
, as well as the recognition of
kilometers traveled by private car.
"As a result of the experience during the pandemic, a significant number of companies
are considering changing the work modality permanently
, with a marked tendency to maintain mixed work schemes", explains Mariela Rendón, from PwC Argentina.
The results of the survey show that 81% of the participating organizations plan to implement a mixed work format, that is, to return to face-to-face without giving up remote work.
And in that sense, the survey shows that
37% of companies expect virtuality to be adopted by less than half
of the collaborators, being only 3 days a week.
Asked about bond policies,
64% confirmed having made the payment for the results obtained in 2020.
Meanwhile, the report highlighted that many companies are
already setting their sights on the post-pandemic and the gradual return to offices.
