According to a Hay survey, based on a sample of 507 companies, wages have increased in 2012 by 2.1% whilst inflation was calculated at 2.5%. But, in companies with more than 500 employees costs of the paid real wages grew by 4%. Bonuses were paid a lot, in particular on the basis of individual performances. The total number of employees in these larger companies decreased by 6%. Workers have to work more, and this, combined with a demotivating manager, non-functional processes, the impossibility to do new things and distrust in the company's future, will trigger the best ones to leave in search of a better job.
