According to a study by Mercer, companies will hit the brakes when it comes to increases for their employees. The main reason is the drop in inflation which is leading to a form of return to pre-Covid habits, but also a certain pessimism for 2025.
You should not be too greedy regarding increases. This is the main lesson of a study on remuneration by the Mercer firm which surveyed 800 companies. As a result, the latter should be more cautious about increases in 2025: with 3% on average and not for everyone. After 2023 and 2024, marked by exceptional salary increases linked to high inflation, the stabilization of prices leads to a virtual return to habits before the health crisis.
A very unstable economic and political context
“Increase budgets have always tended to follow inflation”, reminds Europe 1 microphone Cyril Bellanger, remuneration consulting director Mercer France. And the obligatory annual negotiations promise to be more tense than in 2023 and 2024. This is also due to the very unstable economic and political context. “There is an extremely important aspect, it is the pessimism of companies in relation to 2025. And what we notice compared to past years is that we find a little more selectivity. We also have this aspect of trying to retain the most efficient employees”, adds the specialist.
Half of the companies surveyed say they will not grant a collective increase in 2025.

**Title: Exclusive Interview: Insights on President Biden’s Recent Remarks**
**Interviewer: Ugo Pascolo**
**Guest: Barthélémy Philippe, Political Analyst**

**Ugo Pascolo:** Thank you for joining me today, Barthélémy. Let’s dive into President Biden’s recent interview, which took place shortly after the presidential debate. What were the key takeaways from his discussion with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos?
**Barthélémy Philippe:** Thanks for having me, Ugo. One of the most significant points Biden made was his emphasis on the importance of unity and bipartisanship. Given the current polarized political climate, he reiterated his commitment to working across the aisle to address pressing issues such as the economy and healthcare.
**Ugo Pascolo:** That’s an interesting angle. How did he address the challenges he faces from both sides of the aisle?
**Barthélémy Philippe:** Biden acknowledged the frustrations from progressives regarding the pace of change, but he argued that finding common ground is essential for effective governance. He pointed out that many Americans are looking for solutions rather than divisive rhetoric. This approach might resonate with moderate voters who are tired of extreme partisanship.
**Ugo Pascolo:** Given the timing of this interview right after the presidential debate, how do you think it affects his standing ahead of the upcoming election?
**Barthélémy Philippe:** The interview was crucial for bolstering his image as a leader who listens and engages. Voter perception is incredibly important, especially as we head into the election cycle. If Biden can convincingly portray himself as a unifier, it could strengthen his support base and attract undecided voters.
**Ugo Pascolo:** Do you think his messaging on unity will be effective in reversing any negative perceptions?
**Barthélémy Philippe:** It could be effective, but it depends on consistency and action.Voters need to see tangible results. If Biden can align his policies with his rhetoric, particularly regarding economic recovery and social issues, he may successfully shift any negative perceptions leading into the election season.
**Ugo Pascolo:** Great insights, Barthélémy. Any final thoughts on the significance of this interview for Biden’s campaign strategy?
**Barthélémy Philippe:** Ultimately, this interview serves as a platform for Biden to reaffirm his leadership style ahead of a contentious election. It’s a way to navigate the narrative, focusing on collaboration rather than conflict, which could be pivotal in attracting a broader electorate.
**Ugo Pascolo:** Thank you for your thoughts today, Barthélémy. It will be interesting to see how these themes develop as the election approaches.
