PwC Reward trends snapshot survey 2015 3

Foreword

This PwC Reward trends snapshot survey 2015 provides data on actual and forecast salary movements for 2014, 2015 and 2016 across a number of sectors and employee categories. It also looks at actual bonus payments for 2014, target bonus levels for 2015, remuneration philosophy, incentive plans and benefits provided by employers.

The survey data was gathered through an online questionnaire completed by each participating organisation (one submission per company). This survey would not have been possible but for the 132 organisations that participated.We would like to thank each participant for their time and effort.

While results indicate that general pay increases will be circa 2.0% in 2015/16, it is worth noting that certain industries / roles continue to experience larger increases. We know from PwC’s 18th Annual Global CEO Survey1 that skills are at the top of CEOs’ talent agenda, with 81% saying their organisations are now looking for a much broader range of skills than in the past.

It is no surprise that our survey reveals that software developers, data analysts and other ICT roles are in demand. This backs up the fact that CEOs think that specific hiring and training strategies to integrate digital technologies throughout their businesses are key to future growth.

There are of course other industries and roles with skills in high demand. The insurance and financial services

sectors continue to struggle to find sufficient talent in the areas of risk, compliance and actuarial roles. A heightened interest on individual performance and external benchmarking would suggest that organisations are conscious of the need to keep hold of their talent, and are looking for evidence to justify increases so as not to lose critical skills. Ensuring talent management programs are ‘fit for purpose’ as well as aligned with performance and reward, will no doubt be critical as demand for talent heightens.

With limited pay budgets and a need to recognise top performers, companies are looking to incentive pay to motivate and reward top performers. As a result, one-third of employers surveyed have improved their annual bonus plan and a further third expect to enhance their plan in the coming year.

Our survey results show that one in five companies are reviewing their private medical insurance benefit in 2014 or 2015, and the majority of these reviews are leading to reductions in benefits. The challenge for companies is to design reward packages that employees value and thereby achieve better value for money in terms of reward spend.

We hope you find the report both useful and informative. Should you require further information on this survey or other reward services, please contact a member of the Rewards Advisory team, full details are listed at the back of this report. Gerard McDonough

Key trends from the survey results

• In recent years salary increase decisions have mostly been guided by internal factors including company and individual performance. While these measures are still prevalent, the percentage of companies looking at external benchmarking has increased to 74% in 2015 (39% in 2013 and 70% in 2014). Overall, the key driver remains individual performance (80%) with company performance (72%) the third most popular;

• Participants reported increased salary pressure and difficulty in recruiting for several key roles including IT (particularly data analysts, software developers and web developers), finance, actuaries, risk and compliance, experienced engineers, sales and senior executive roles;

• The roles where participants reported having problems with retention are IT, risk management and compliance, accounting, engineering, finance, sales and human resources;

• Where companies have indicated their reward philosophy (86% of sample):

- 82% are targeting salary at median

- 72% are targeting total remuneration (i.e. salary, incentives and benefits) at median. It is noteworthy that a fifth are targeting total remuneration above median with just 4.0% having a policy below median.

Over three quarters (78%) of Irish businesses expect to apply modest pay increases in 2015, compared to 64% in 2014. There is increased optimism for 2016 as the percentage of companies forecasting pay increases rises to 88%.

Where companies are planning to award pay increases, this is typically 2.0% in 2015 and 2.1% in 2016. More than half of companies are providing increases between 2.0% and 3.0%, indicating a tight consensus on pay increases for the coming year:

• For those companies with a DB scheme in place:

- 19% have moved to reduce the benefits offered in their schemes during 2014. For larger employers these reductions involve a cessation of accrual in the DB scheme with DC being provided for future service

- A number of organisations (11%) are revisiting their DC scheme designs and enhancing them to ensure they remain fit for purpose going forward;

• These results confirm that the trends of recent years are remaining as organisations continue to reduce private medical cover and the proportion of participants offering full cover continues to decline (see page 18);

• 67% of participants provided information on their health insurance benefit:

- Of the 61% that covered the full cost of the plan, 7% indicated that they will reduce the offering in 2015

- None of the companies providing a cash allowance benefit are planning to reduce their offering in 2015, with 10% having improved their offering in 2014

- 14% of companies are planning on enhancing their health and wellness programmes in 2015, indicating renewed focus on how companies look after the health & wellbeing of their employees.

• 79% of participants provided information on annual bonus plans:

- 90% of these companies have performance based bonus plans

- One third of participants with bonus plans in place enhanced, or plan to enhance their offering in 2014/15

- The typical bonus (as a percentage of base salary) for achieving on-target performance in 2015 is set at 20% for Senior Management and 10% for Professionals

- Annual performance linked bonuses from professional up to executive levels are typically 5% - 8% higher in the non-Irish Headquartered companies compared to Irish Headquartered companies;

• 39% of participants provided information on long term incentive plans:

- Almost a third (31%) of these companies enhanced, or plan to enhance their LTI offering in 2014/15;

• 86% of participants provided information on their retirement benefits (see page 17):

- The 2015 survey highlights the continued trend away from Defined Benefit (DB) pension provision towards Defined Contribution (DC). Only 14% have DB plans open to new entrants (vs 19% in 2014) with the majority of companies (86%) providing a DC plan (note, some companies may operate two or more pension plans);

Death and disability benefits

The following chart shows the provision of various types of death and disability benefits available to new entrants:

This has been the case for new entrants to businesses for many years but more organisations are now switching legacy DB employees into a DC scheme for their future service accrual. Only 14% of participants now provide DB for new entrants and this will continue to fall.

Secondly, as we move more towards a DC model within all organisations many employers are now looking to enhance the DC rates they pay for their staff. This reflects an acceptance of the fact that for many older DC schemes the initial rates set were no longer sufficient for the needs of the organisation. And following many years of wage constraints it also shows how highly valued pension is compared with other employee benefits.

As the labour market continues to heat up it is important for all organisations that the total benefits package being offered is fit for purpose. Within DC pensions this means ensuring that the level of employer pension contributions continue to be attractive and providing clear and simple pension communications which speak to a twenty first century audience.

Commentary The survey again highlights the two main pension themes which we continue to see emerging for our clients.

Firstly, the ever increasing costs of Defined Benefit (DB) provision means organisations are proceeding with moving towards Defined Contribution (DC) schemes for all staff.

We are seeing a trend where analytics are impacting benefit planning. PwC’s people analytics looks at establishing the value employees assign to various benefits. Once companies understand what their employee’s value they can tailor their packages appropriately.

Benefit programmes should be aligned with employee needs.

Commentary The results confirm that the trends of recent years are continuing as organisations continue to reduce private medical cover and the proportion of participants offering full cover continues to decline.

Medical insurance premiums have seen a 243% increase in the past 12 years caused by a number of factors including government policy, an aging of the market and high levels of healthcare inflation. We know from speaking to many employers that they are now reaching the tipping point with regard to bearing the cost of any further increases.

One in five participants are reviewing their private medical insurance benefit in 2014 or 2015 and the majority of these reviews are leading to reductions in benefits.

To date where an organisation has sought to reduce the cost of the private health insurance they have focussed on reducing the level of cover by scaling back from more expensive plans. The trend that is currently being observed in the market is that employers are looking to move from covering full cost to either a cost sharing model or providing a fixed cash allowance towards the premium which is a significant change.

It will be interesting to observe the impact the new measures being implemented from 1 May 2015 will have on the market as a whole. It is hoped that the introduction of Lifetime Community Rating will result in increased numbers of younger people coming back into the market thereby leading to lower premiums for all ages.

Results - Benefits - Health & Wellness

Health & Wellnes

The following chart shows the provision of various types of health & wellness benefits for all respondents:

Commentary Healthcare trends continue to challenge benefit strategies, as employers look for ways to manage the ever escalating cost of healthcare benefits.

Business leaders are quickly realising the positive effects of corporate wellness programs. Companies that invest in Workplace Health and Wellness programs reap the benefits of increased employee health, morale, productivity and decreased medical care costs, disability pay, health insurance costs, rates of absenteeism, turnover and workplace injuries.

Employee wellness has tended to focus primarily on physical health, with emphasis on health programs, but we are seeing wellness programmes broadening to include psychological well-being of the individual worker, addressing considerations such as worker engagement, work-life balance and financial well-being.

The improvement of these programmes is being recognised, with 14% of companies planning on enhancing their health and wellness offering in 2015.
