國際諮詢公司美世（Mercer）發表最新年度《薪酬調查報告》（Total Remuneration Survey，TRS），預計2025年香港整體薪酬增長4%，超過50%企業計劃保持現有員工數量，相信在薪酬適度增長的背景下，香港就業環境將保持穩定。
該調查涵蓋566多家香港企業，涉及行業包括科技、零售與批發、消費品、製造業、服務業、物流等。
香港整體薪酬增長4%
報告顯示，科技公司預計將實現最高的薪酬增幅，達4.2%；而零售與批發、生命科學、消費品等多數行業的薪酬增長預期為4%，與整體市場趨勢一致。各行業的僱主表示，無論員工職位或級別如何，都計劃為所有員工提供一致的薪酬增長。
Mercer 職業發展諮詢部負責人 Gary Chin 表示：「2025年香港薪酬狀況受吸引和留住人才等挑戰所影響，香港人才供應有限，加上經濟存在不確定性，僱主正重新評估薪酬策略，以保持競爭力。這種情況突顯出將獎勵策略與業務目標對齊的重要性，從而在充滿挑戰的時代中培養一支積極且有韌性的員工隊伍。」
旅遊業回暖帶來更多就業機會
Mercer指出，香港經濟積極復甦令人鼓舞跡象，政府採取了一系列旨在刺激經濟增長的策略性措施，包括大規模基建項目投資以及對科技和創新的推廣。此外，旅遊業顯著回暖，為經濟活動注入動力，預計將帶來更多就業機會。即使全球經濟的不確定性仍可能影響香港經濟，但整體前景仍然樂觀。
展望2025年，Mercer認為企業將密切關注全球經濟的潛在波動，以及利率變化可能帶來的影響，許多企業正積極優化運營效率，優先考量財務穩定性，以實現長期可持續發展。
Projected salary increases in Hong Kong signal optimistic outlook for 2025, according to Mercer
Mercer, a business of Marsh McLennan (NYSE: MMC), released today the findings from its annual Total Remuneration Survey (TRS). The survey reveals that overall salaries in Hong Kong are projected to increase by 4% across all industries in 2025 and that over 50% of organizations are planning to maintain their current headcount next year, indicating stable employment environment amidst moderate salary growth.
More than 566 companies in Hong Kong were surveyed in a range of industries including, technology, retail and wholesale, consumer goods, manufacturing, services, logistics and others.
Companies in the technology industry are forecasting the highest increase to salaries at 4.2% while majority of other industries such as retail and wholesale, life sciences and consumer goods are all forecasting increases of 4.0%, consistent with the overall market trend. Employers in various industries have indicated that they intend to offer uniform salary increases to all employees, regardless of their position or level.
“As we approach 2025, the landscape for salary increases in Hong Kong is influenced by significant challenges in attracting and retaining talent. With a limited talent pool and an uncertain economic environment, companies are reassessing their compensation strategies to remain competitive. This situation highlights the importance of aligning reward strategies with business objectives to cultivate a motivated and resilient workforce in these challenging times,” said Gary Chin, Mercer’s Hong Kong Career Leader.
Hong Kong’s economy is displaying encouraging signs of a positive recovery. The government has implemented a variety of strategic measures aimed at stimulating economic growth, designed to stimulate economic growth, which include significant investments in infrastructure projects and the promotion of technology and innovation. In conjunction with the encouraging rebound in tourism, these initiatives are anticipated to boost economic activities, leading to the creation of new employment opportunities. Despite the ongoing uncertainties in the global economy that may impact Hong Kong’s economic landscape, the overall outlook remains promising and optimistic.
Looking ahead to 2025, businesses are mindful of potential fluctuations in the global economic state and the impact of interest rates, which could impact borrowing costs and potentially dampen investment and spending. Consequently, many organizations are proactively optimizing their operational efficiencies to prioritize financial stability. Businesses are expected to navigate the ongoing uncertainties and remain resilient and cautious in their financial planning to ensure long-term sustainability in the face of evolving economic conditions.
