Top Challenges for the Pharmaceutical Industry
During the pandemic and recovering post-pandemic economy, the pharma industry has seen extensive growth. Compelling salary offers and total rewards packages are essential to attract talent in a competitive job market.
In a hot job market, you have to think about pay equity. The talent you are most anxious to keep is also the talent you are most likely to lose if your employees' pay doesn't keep pace with their peers.
Following the pandemic, employees want to be able to work from home at least some of the time. Businesses are now having to consider location-based pay strategies that can accommodate remote work.
With all the challenges in the current job market, it is imperative for employees to understand pay policies and for managers to be able to discuss why compensation is fair.
