Employment market data and insights 

Keep up with the latest remuneration trends, so you can make informed decisions about employee pay and benefits – and remain competitive.

Aon’s bi-annual General Industry Remuneration Report is the largest report of its kind in Australia. A must-read for HR professionals, it provides comprehensive information on the Australian pay market.

Are you spending too much or too little on employee salaries? 

If you make remuneration decisions without detailed information, your organisation could spend too much on talent or fail to attract in-demand skills, putting you behind the competition. Aon’s remuneration reports help HR leaders interpret and respond to employment market data, so they can make informed decisions that help to improve business and talent management outcomes.

Have you considered recruiting from outside your industry?

Aon’s General Industry Remuneration Report (Australia) can help you understand the benefits offered for comparable skills in other industries, and to benchmark roles, qualifications, experience and salaries against similar employers. By hiring talent from outside your industry, you can build a more diverse workforce, which can boost creativity and innovation. With wage constraints affecting most sectors, now is the time to understand not only the quantum data but the appropriate pay mix required to attract talent from further afield, and to take steps to reduce the risk of employee churn.
