Salaries increased by 6.5 percent this year at multinational companies (MNCs) and 5.2 percent at Vietnamese companies, and are forecast to increase by 7 percent and 7.7 percent next year, according to the Talentnet – Mercer Total Remuneration Survey.

Talking about recruitment trends in 2021, she said 40 percent of companies plan to add staff next year, 5 percent intends to reduce and 55 percent expect no change.
