No pay rises? Don't make it top secret

By Paul Mason • 17 January 2012 • Posted in Employees

I am sure that most employees will totally understand the restrictions their organisation has when it comes to pay rises. As employers, being open and honest about the trading position of the company, so that employees know fully the reasons why a pay rise cannot be provided helps to keep people in the loop. It might not be the greatest information to receive for an employee, however at least everyone is clear. It is far better than finding out on the grapevine that nothing is occurring.

Think about how you might communicate with staff in this situation to ensure your team stays on board. Take a look at this article on Personnel Today which highlights the importance of open and honest communication and other ways you can motivate staff when a pay rise isn't on the table.
