35% of companies plan salary increases

As much as 35 percent of companies plan salary increases in the next six months and 68 percent positively assess their situation and consider hiring employees, according to a survey by Randstad and TNS Polska. The largest share of firms planning wage increases operate in the industry sector (40 percent), followed by logistics company (38 percent) and those from the retail sector (35 percent). Katarzyna Gurszyńska from Randstad said that companies plan to hire Poland-wide, regardless of whether a firm is based in a small town or a large city. Nonetheless, only 14 percent of companies plans rises of larger than seven percent. The survey was carried out between October 7 and November 10 on a sample of 1,000 companies.
