According to the Hays Poland report presented on the Money.pl portal, in 2022, three out of four employers in Poland are expecting an increase in the employees’ wages, as only 3% companies are anticipating to reduce wages-. The scale of increases will be similar to the last year’s, when 71% of companies and institutions among organizations included in the study planned pay rises, although only 57% had had such plans in the previous year.

95% of employers are expecting to recruit new employees this year as 46% of them expect that the number of recruitment processes will be greater than last year.

The most frequent reason for planned recruitment indicated by employers is a business development and the need to recruit new employees, often with unique competences. In the second place (33% of responses), it is a need to find a replacement for employees who decided to leave, and in the third place (9%) – structural changes.
