With eyes on compensation plans for the coming year, another report is painting a picture of where employers are with pay raises in 2024.
The vast majority of senior finance leaders (71 percent) plan to give raises of at least 4 percent in 2024, according to a new survey of chief financial officers (CFOs) by Gartner.
In most areas, those raises would outpace inflation, which recently has hovered just above 3 percent, according to government figures.
