Rituparna Chakraborty, Co-founder and Executive Vice President, TeamLease Services said, “While businesses will stay conservative with salary increments, they have not shied away from rewarding specialized skills. In fact, the pandemic has amplified the importance of skilled profiles in the world of work. It has brought to forefront the trinity between skills, performance and rewards.”
“…the 15 per cent increment that companies are willing to offer to specialized profiles is a testimony of this. Not only now, as more and more organizations are opting for an asset light, debt-free model, the trend of rewarding talent based on their skill and outcome is here to stay”, she said.
