As the job market is picking up after the impact of Covid-19 pandemic, human resource and recruitment industry executives say that the 'Great Resignation' is on the cards in the UAE and GCC in 2022 with 56 per cent of candidates intending to change jobs this year.

However, it’s very important for a job-seeker to compare and look into salary and growth prospects that new job or industry offers them from their existing employer.

According to Hay Middle East’s latest survey, 74 per cent of UAE employers expect salaries within their organization to increase in 2022 while 70 per cent of employers expect headcount in their company will increase this year.

Sarah Dixon, managing director of Hays Middle East, said 49 per cent of candidates reported no change in salary year-on-year in 2021, and 8 per cent even experienced a decrease. For those who did get a salary increase in 2021, the most common reason was due to a change in job and employer.
