Reasons to the Cheerful

Increasing optimism about the health of the Irish economy has resulted in many employees believing that they will get a pay rise by the end of the year. And the good news is that employers are feeling the love also as more than half Irish businesses are planning on increasing employee salaries!

Research carried out by the Irish International Business Network (IIBN), which assesses the attitudes of Irish business people across the UK and Ireland towards the corporate climate and international trade found that across the UK and Ireland business confidence has risen dramatically in the last year. 81% of respondents indicated that they were more confident than they had been in the past year and this in turn may feed into your pay cheque.

So, what does that mean for the average employee- you and me? 

Tune into the Sunday Business Show this weekend between 10-11am where we will be asking if there is any merit to the findings? More importantly, we drill down to the specifics of what this could actually mean for the average Irish worker.
