It has been revealed that men are more likely to ask for a pay rise according to a survey released from Ceridian, one of the largest providers of human resource services in the world. Of the 8% of respondents who claimed they would negotiate hard for a salary increase, three quarters of them were men! One in three said they would rather leave a company than ask for a pay rise and one in six said they would never ask for a salary increase. It seems to be that the older the respondent the more confident they were to ask for a pay rise as a massive 81% of over 35's would feel comfortable with it but only 19% of under 34's would.
The survey also revealed that a massive 53% of us would not share our salary details with our families. But interestingly we are interested in knowing what our colleagues earn with five out of ten admitting that. But a staggering 70% wouldn't tolerate having their salary details disclosed to their colleagues. Its seems to be the over 55's that weren't so bothered about knowing their colleagues earning as only 29% said they would be interested as opposed to 72% of 18-24 year olds.
Karan Paige, Chief People Officer of Ceridian UK, the company which commissioned this survey, commented; "Our research demonstrates that pay is an important personal issue and one which employers need top think carefully about. 46% of respondents indicated that they would be interested to know what their colleagues earn but making salary grades of employees transparent across an organisation is a complex matter and likely to remain an issue of constant debate amongst employers. That said, managers need to be sympathetic and responsive to the need of employees".
