2013 Salary Survey Report by SuperCFO

Online, August 27, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Executive Summary
The world economy is still to shake off from the 2008 crisis. Globally, growth has dipped to around 3% in 2012. Industry experts prognosticate that this trend will likely continue for some more quarters before there is the inevitable light at the end. This year, the global salary forecast across most businesses, is a modest growth of about 10% on the average.

To add further, as per the enclosed Salary Appraisal Survey by SuperCFO for 2013, a significant 26% of the respondents indicated no salary growth last year. In other words, their salary remained constant. Average salary growth was between 6-10% which 23% of the respondents felt so. A majority of 32% felt the growth was less than 5%.

Interestingly, many companies are closely evaluating compensation packages for their employees and are trying to work out the best approach to retain talent, but are adequately cautious to not go overboard in increasing costs substantially. This slowing trend will likely continue. Mature economies are still healing the scars of the 2008-2009 crises. But unlike in 2010 and 2011, emerging markets did not pick up the slack in 2012, and won't do so in 2013. There is a lot of uncertainty across the major regions of the world. Unlike 2008, this time around India and China too have been caught in the vortex of the global meltdown apart from the slow US recovery and the continuing Eurozone conflagration.
