Dual Impact of Bonus Plunge and Great Resignation Drive Staff Turnover to 5-Year High

HONG KONG, December 23, 2022 – Bonus to be paid in 2023 are expected to decline sharply due to debt crisis and surging interest rates. This will add fuel to the five-year high staff turnover triggered by the Great Resignation, according to Pretium Partners Asia Limited ("Pretium").

Pretium Year-end Rewards and Human Resource Trends Survey - 2022 (“Survey”) examined changes in business performance, salary review budget, bonus levels, headcount changes as well as changes in human resources priorities to facilitate human resources planning. Key insights from the survey are as follows:

Projected Bonus Levels of 2022 
​

The projected bonus payout in 2023 is expected to be significantly lower than that of the 2022 due to debt crisis and slower market activities.

Front office employee's bonus is projected to drop more than their back office counterparts.
The Direct Investment team will face the hardest hit in the front office with projected bonus payout drop by 36% in 2023.  The Administration team will also see their bonus payout down by 27% next year. “Bonus will be significantly down due to weak IPO and market sentiments, this will aggravate the high enough staff turnover caused by the Great Resignation,” said May Poon, Managing Partner at Pretium.
​
High Staff Turnover Rate among Millennials 
 
Staff turnover has increased during the waves of Great Resignation powered by COVID-19. The firm-wide turnover rate is 16%, with the Millennials experiencing the highest turnover (19%).
 
“With bonus levels going south, companies need to optimize pay and incentive strategies to retain a multi-generational workforce, especially for the Millennials who are competitive in nature and emphasize equity in their value proposition,” Ms. Poon explained.

Staff turnover rate for 2022 is five-year high, with Millennials reaching almost 20%.
“Profit sharing can act as a bridge between short-term and long-term incentive to motivate performance and reinforce retention. Pay differentiation can be widened by having different pay positioning in a given year according to annual business performance,” Ms. Poon added.
