22nd Edition of Aon India’s Salary Increase Survey Projects 9.4% Average Increase for India Inc.

It Pays to Perform. Top Performers to get 15.4% Average Salary Increase

New Delhi, Tues 27 Feb 2018 – Aon, a leading global professional services firm providing a broad range of risk, retirement and health solutions, today released the 22^nd edition of its annual Salary Increase Survey in India. The study, the largest and the most comprehensive of its kind in India, analysed data across 1000+ companies from more than 20 industries.

As per the survey, companies in India gave an average pay increase of 9.3% during 2017 marking a departure from the double digit increments given by organizations since the inception of this study. The projections for 2018 are also expected to be similar at 9.4% highlighting increasing prudence and maturity being displayed by companies while finalising pay budgets.

The focus on performance is getting sharper year-on-year. A top performer is getting an average salary increase of 15.4%, approximately 1.9 times the pay increase for an average performer. Moreover, the bell curve is sharpening with a significant drop in the percentage of people in the highest rating. 

Anandorup Ghose, Partner at Aon India Consulting, commented, “Despite an improvement in macro-economic forecasts - salary increases remain at the same level as was projected in the last fiscal. With increasing maturity, HR budgets are being realigned towards top performers as opposed to the broader population.”

#	Industry	Proj Salary Increase (2018)	#	Industry	Proj Salary Increase (2018)
1	Professional Services	10.6	11	Engineering/ Manufacturing	9.2
2	Consumer Internet Companies	10.4	12	Metals	9.2
3	Life Sciences	10.3	13	Telecommunications Services[1]	9.1
4	Consumer Products	10.2	14	Entertainment/Publication/Communication	9.1
5	Automotive/ Vehicle Manufacturing	10.1	15	Hospitality/ Restaurants	9.0
6	Chemicals	9.6	16	Energy (Oil/Gas/Coal/Power)	9.0
7	ITeS	9.6	17	Transportation Services/Logistics	9.0
8	Retail	9.5	18	Engineering Services	8.9
9	Hi Tech/ Information Technology[2]	9.5	19	Financial Institutions	8.5
10	Real Estate/ Infrastructure	9.3	20	Cement	8.4

Sectors such as Professional Services, Consumer Internet Companies, Life Sciences, Automotive and Consumer Products continue to project a double digit salary increase for 2018. Consumer Internet Companies however, over the past 3 years have seen a significant drop of 250 basis points, from 12.9% to 10.4% projected for 2018. Interestingly, the Hi Tech/ Information Technology sector, which has gone through a spate of upheavals in recent times, is projecting an average hike of 9.5% in 2018, whereas the third party IT services which provide majority of the employment in India are projecting an average hike of 6.2%.

Over the years, with increasing pressure on compensation budgets, there is an emerging focus on rationalization of budgets. Companies are increasingly taking into account the base effect e.g., pay increases for top and senior management is consistently going down.

Anandorup Ghose commented, “Pay increases are becoming more nuanced. We are increasingly seeing a multitude of factors impacting salary increases such as size of the company, business dynamics within the sub industry, nature of talent requirements and quite obviously, performance.”

The attrition rate in India is seeing a continuous downward trend as the overall attrition has come down from an average of 20% in the previous decade to 15.9% in 2017.

Honourable Kirsty Duncan, Minister of Science and Minister of Sport and Persons with Disabilities, Government of Canada, blesses partnership of ISIC with IC-IMPACTS and Rick Hansen Institute for a Landmark Initiative Promoting Spinal Injury Care in India

    Honourable Kirsty Duncan, Minister of Science and Minister of Sport and Persons with Disabilities, Government of Canada, graced the launch of the initiative at the Indian Spinal Injuries Centre (ISIC).

·         ISIC has signed a 1-year pact Rick Hansen Institute, and IC-IMPACTS, to promote innovation and research in the field of spinal cord injury care.

·         The unique initiative aims to launch a competition to attract collaboration between researchers in Indian and Canadian universities for developing promising innovations and furthering the treatment of spinal cord injury patients in India.

February 26^th, 2018|New Delhi. With a unique initiative, the leading treatment and rehabilitation provider for spinal cord injuries in India, the Indian Spinal Injuries Centre (ISIC), has announced collaboration with Rick Hansen Institute (RHI) and IC-IMPACTS (India-Canada Centre for Innovative Multidisciplinary Partnerships to Accelerate Community Transformation and Sustainability) to launch a one of a kind competition that will further spinal injuries patient care in India like never before.

To formalize the initiative, Honourable Kirsty Duncan, Minister of Science and Minister of  Sport and Persons with Disabilities, Government of Canada, graced the launch of the competition at the Indian Spinal Injuries Center, and was joined by Major HPS Ahluwalia, Chairman, ISIC and Dr. H S Chhabra, Medical Director and Chief of Spine Services, ISIC.

“Collaboration is incredibly important to the scientific process. But we know research partnerships are that much richer when scientists work with expert partners, like the Rick Hansen Institute and Indian Spinal Injuries Centre, who can inform their discovery process. Today’s agreement and call for creative thinking to help people living with spinal cord injury is examples of the important work Canadian scientists are doing to help people with disabilities participate fully in society both in Canada and in India”, said  Hon’ble Kirsty Duncan, Minister of Science and Minister of Sport and Persons with Disabilities, Government of Canada.

To further spinal cord injury treatment and research in India, the three internationally renowned organizations have come together by launching a competition that will attract researchers and institutions from Canada and India to work towards a common goal of finding better avenues to drive best results in the treatment of spinal injuries patients.

“ISIC has formed one of a kind collaboration with esteemed Canadian organizations, RHI and IC-IMPACTS, both well respected names in the international medical community, to create better avenues of providing treatment to thousands of spinal injury patients in India. It is well understood that avenues to provide spinal injuries care amongst people of India is limited.

This alliance provides us with the opportunities to share their knowledge and work collaboratively to address issues related to SCI which are not currently available. There is a huge focus towards innovation and research and the technologies thereby developed for people living in India is more likely to be of relevance in Canada and other countries,” said Major HPS Ahluwalia, Chairman, ISIC.

Signing a 1-year-long contract, the three renowned organizations have taken a pioneering initiative to co-host a competition that will to attract researchers in Indian and Canadian universities to work collaboratively in developing and commercializing promising and innovative technologies in the treatment and care of people living with SCI and associated secondary complications.

“We aim to achieve significant progress in building a stronger relationship between medical fraternity of not only these three organizations but alsoof the two countries that will benefit the world at a larger level. In India, the incidence of spinal injuries has been recorded as 20 per million people. The most common manner of injury is falls and accidents. In developed countries, the incidence of spinal injuries varies from 20 to 50 per million people. Spinal cord injury and the resultant paralysis has far-reaching effects on the over all well-being of a person, increasing the economic and emotional burden on the person who sustains SCI and potentially his or her entire support network. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and SCI are the most severe types of injuries; however, there is little evidence to address the difference between these two types of patients in terms of functional, and community outcomes. Even the WHO mentions that many of the consequences associated with spinal cord injury do not result from the condition itself, but from inadequate medical care and rehabilitation services, and from barriers in the physical, social and policy environments.Therefore, such initiatives are vital ways forward to find breakthroughs for better treatment”, said Dr. H S Chhabra, Medical Director and Chief of Spine Services, ISIC.

While ISIC is well known in India for providing specialized treatment and unique rehabilitation services for the management of all types of spinal ailments, RHI is a Canadian-based not-for-profit organization that drives innovation in spinal cord injury research and care. The collaboration has been facilitated by IC-IMPACTS, the first, and only, organization dedicated to the development of research collaborations between Canada and India. 

To promote health research excellence in order to further advance emerging technologies that have the potential to benefit people with spinal cord injuries in India, Canada, and around the world, the competition will be supported by funding provided to RHI by the Western Economic Diversification Canada.
