Global Employer Egypt - Response to Devaluation and Inflation | KrollConsultants

  • These events have profound negative influence on the quality of life and living conditions of many Egyptians.
  • Making ends meet has never been easy for the average Egyptian employee, but now it became a struggle.

What Global Employers Should Expect

As expected, local employees turn to their Global Employer for additional compensation, to cover for their loss of purchasing power.

  • Surveys reveal that the most common reaction of Global Employers, is an increase in the earlier planed salary increase budgets.
  • A less common reaction by Global Employers, are lump sum payments.

How Should Global Employers React

Global Employers in the Middle East , should closely monitor developments and employees’ reaction to such situations.

  • Remember that most Global employers compensate local employees on the Cost of Labor basis and not on the Cost of living Basis.
  • Mixing the two is not advisable as it could lead to expectations gap between employers and employees.
  • Supply and demand of talent set the market pay levels. Your organization’s pay levels should always be based on market pay levels for each position within the organization.
  • Your salary increases and overall compensation policy should therefore reflect only that.
  • Use market data to plan your immediate and future reactions to the unfolding situation, and get proper advice from your local consultants.
