How Intelligent Automation Can Quickly Transform HR and Payroll
Inflation in the US is at a record high increasing by 8.4%—and the rising prices that accompany it are creating serious issues for many employers. To counteract consumer price increases that are taking from workers’ paychecks, some companies are forsaking annual pay rises and, instead, reviewing workers’ pay rates more frequently as they compete for talent, The Wall Street Journal reported in February. As wage pressures, caused by inflation, are very likely to continue, this means higher demand for skilled labor and likely, further increases in wages to meet labor demands. ‘Many firms reported significant turnover as workers left for higher wages and more flexible job schedules,’ the Fed reported recently, noting strong wage growth as “footloose” workers willing to change jobs drove up pay.
