Juggling between Hiring Spree and Pay Hikes during Covid Restrictions

The recent announcement of 2021 financial results have provided some good news under the pandemic. Many firms are making bigger bets to hire at a faster pace in 2022. However, the Covid restrictions have led to dearth of talent and boost up pay. The key takeaway is to ensure the return on investment for every compensation dollar spent is well justified. This can facilitate companies to strike a balance between the conflicting forces in driving growth and manage costs.
