2. As per the annual survey conducted by the consultancy Mercer, the direct impact of COVID-19 on the compensation and advantages landscape is less drastic than initially feared.

Because the employees working from home the 25 per cent of the companies have reported an increase in productivity and the market yet experienced positive salary inflation. In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), 17 per cent of the companies delayed managing out 2020 salary increases after the Coronavirus strike, most likely by six months and so on. These are the severe numbers produced on what United Arab Emirates (UAE) businesses are doing to cope with the pandemic result. Most of the bigger organizations have already gone through the procedure of headcount reductions; on the other hand, salaries were cut by 30-50 per cent. Until further notice, some of them yet retain the salary cuts.

The most explicit proposed growth has come from the life sciences (4.5 per cent) and customer goods (3.8 per cent) industries. With a 1.9 per cent forecast, the energy industry continues to see some of the lowest increase in salaries.

However the thirty per cent of UAE companies plan to cut workforce decrease of 10 per cent in 2020, the extent to which companies took this kind of action depends according to their industry and resilience to the impact of Coronavirus with the massive decrease in headcount occurring in the retail sector. In the logistics sector, there has been an increase in headcount in 2020, particularly express and last-mile delivery, in order to meet strong demand from the e-commerce boom, caused by the national stay-at-home –orders. Although we expect uncertainty to span into 2021, the Total Remuneration Survey result promises a more optimistic new year because companies are increasingly reporting positive hiring sentiments compared to those indicated at the onset of the pandemic, as per to the Carolina Vorster, Workforce Products Leader, MENA at Mercer. Once the pandemic is over companies, continue to the new normal with 55 per cent of them anticipating keeping versatile working arrangements and have employees have proved their commitment towards employees by providing one subsidy for remote workers like covering the cost of office set up, online learning, and furniture and many more.
