HAI Releases Wage Rate Survey Results 2022

After receiving feedback from its member retailers/builders merchants, and suppliers/distributors, Hardware Association Ireland (HAI) recently published its Wage Rate Survey results for 2022.

One of our key annual surveys, this report covers wage rates in the sector split up by retailer/merchants and distributors/suppliers, with trends compared to last year’s results. This year HAI also sought data on remote working and employee benefits.

This year’s surveys yielded interesting results, with a significant number of employers intending to increase their wages this year, and increases in the wage rates of over 30 role categories regionally. Wages this year appear to account for a comparatively lower percentage of turnover, which could be a result of inflation.

The report also presents key trends in employers thoughts on the merits and pitfalls of remote working, with many employers airing their strong opinions on remote working’s impact (positive and negative) on their work culture.

Access to HAI’s Wage Rate Survey results (Retailers/Builders Merchants and Suppliers/Distributors) is exclusively available to HAI members. For more information about this year’s results, or for access to the reports, please contact Aoife at aoife@hardwareassociation.ie.
