When wages don鈥檛 keep pace with inflation, companies risk losing their top performers

It is no secret that inflation has sent costs soaring, but wages are going up too. In a recent survey of US small businesses, more than two-thirds said they had increased the wages of their employees. Companies that don鈥檛 match inflation are essentially asking their staff to take a pay cut, says Prof. Jean-Nicolas Reyt聽in an interview with BBC Worklife. That will make employees unhappy, and the best ones could choose to move on to companies where better wages make them feel more appreciated.
