In Australia, a reduction in corporate tax rate from 1 July 2015 will help lift business confidence, and the decline of the Australian dollar is giving exporters an edge in the global marketplace. While in New Zealand, confidence is boosted by solid economic growth coupled with controlled inflation and falling unemployment. This positive sentiment is reflected in our conversations with business leaders. Across Australia and New Zealand, we see strong expectations of economic growth for 2015 among Chief Financial Officers (Australia 94%; New Zealand 83%) and Human Resources directors (Australia 79%; New Zealand 82%). This confidence is flowing through to equally strong views of business growth throughout the year. New projects – new employment paradigm A robust commercial environment always bodes well for the employment outlook, and the implementation of new projects is a key driver for many firms expanding their workforce in 2015. roberthalf.com.au These projects often call for specialist skills, and our discussions with business leaders confirm a growing need for project-based consultants and temporary staff to supplement permanent teams. From a bottom-line perspective this blended approach to staffing makes a lot of sense. It does bring with it the challenge of recruiting the highest quality candidates at a time when the majority of firms say it is difficult to source top talent. Work/life balance becomes a priority A key feature of 2015 – and beyond - is likely to be the preference among employees to achieve greater work/life balance. This is a trend observed by Robert Half recruitment experts across the globe, and it is placing new demands on human resources teams to juggle business productivity with the preferences of employees. We are seeing increasing use of flexible workplace strategies that tick all the boxes. As a guide, over one in four firms in Australia and New Zealand now offer increased options for telecommuting and workplace flexibility. Flexibility is essential – on both sides of the hiring desk Happily, there is growing realisation that this type of flexibility enhances, rather than detracts from, employee productivity while also having the potential to be highly costeffective for the business. It can be a leap of confidence for employers to offer this sort of flexibility but the rewards are there. In today’s competitive market, awareness of current salary and hiring trends coupled with a healthy dose of flexibility could be the key that ensures a win-win for both candidates and firms. Achieving the right remuneration mix Of course employee pay packets still pack considerable clout when it comes to recruiting and retaining the best people. Quite simply, firms that do not offer competitive salaries may put themselves out of contention when it comes to attracting skilled professionals. This highlights the need to stay abreast with current salary levels – more so because we are seeing a growing pattern of professional staff being prepared to negotiate their salary. Here too, it pays for HR executives to adopt creative strategies. When a firm cannot afford higher salaries, it is critical to offer ‘something extra’ and this can take the form of non-cash benefits like study programs or access to courses that benefit individual team members while also nourishing the firm’s talent pool. Growing demand for specialist skills means candidates need to look beyond the ‘now’ when selecting roles, and consider how their career can benefit long term from taking on a role rather focusing on the salary being offered today. For hiring managers – and firms more broadly – a willingness to adopt new ideas and flexible work practices can help to increase retention rates. Top people are highly sought-after, and firms that delay hiring decisions can miss out. Importantly, know what you offer your people and communicate this to your team. Businesses need to be prepared to offer the new opportunities that quality professionals are looking for. Robert Half • 2015 Salary Guide 5 Top Trends – Money, Movement & Mobility organisations should consider smaller businesses with 44% of these companies indicating an intention to add new roles, particularly in NSW and WA. In New Zealand, private sector businesses are showing a higher intention to expand their workforce. Managing staff turnover Companies are not only confronted with challenges in the area of recruitment. The successful retention of top talent is also a key business focus. Across Australia and New Zealand, fewer than one in two HR directors anticipate pay rises for their workforce in 2015. New South Wales is bucking this trend with 72% of the HR executives in the state expecting to deliver pay rises in 2015 compared to just 28% of businesses in Queensland. Hiring intentions are more robust in the first half of 2015 . Over half of Australian (55%) and New Zealand HR directors (65%) indicate that they only intend to fill only vacated roles rather than adding new positions during this period. Professionals seeking positions in expanding WA salaries impacted by mining downturn Finance and accounting salaries in Western Australia’s mining industry have undergone a noticeable downward trend while salaries for non-mining equivalent roles remain unchanged or have increased slightly in Western Australia. Robert Half Recruitment Specialist - Western Australia roberthalf.com.au In both Australia and New Zealand, 82% of HR directors are concerned about losing top performers to other companies in the coming year. Organisations are introducing fresh measures to retain their most sought-after employees and to maintain continuity within their teams. This is a critical step to prevent additional recruitment costs, avoid possible training requirements for new staff and limit the loss of valuable company knowledge. Why do people leave a job?

In fact, 10% of employee turnover is attributed to a poor hiring decision, highlighting the need to ‘get it right’ the first time. Poor recruitment practices can have surprisingly wide-ranging negative impacts on a firm. Key issues resulting from poor recruitment choices AUSTRALIA 55% NEW ZEALAND 49% Lost productivity 23% 30% Lower staff morale 19% 20% Monetary cost More autonomy = more benefits for the firm Flexible work opportunities give employees a great deal of independence but call for implementation of clearer guidelines as employees need to maintain a certain level of self-discipline. HR leaders have revealed potential benefits for organisations that are prepared to offer staff greater autonomy through flexible work hours, working remotely, or even just less direct supervision. Make a list of your ‘non-negotiables’ for a new role, and be flexible with any factors that are of secondary importance. Have a long range focus – assess roles based on the long term progression within the role, and not solely on salary.

With less than one in ten (9%) Australian firms citing tenure as Chasing a pay rise? a factor contributing to pay rises, remaining with the same employer over the long term may no longer guarantee an increase in your pay packet.

The vast majority of Australian and New Zealand Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) are confident about economic growth prospects for their national economy in 2015. More than half (56%) of CFOs in NSW remain very confident about prospects, while respondents in other states and in New Zealand are somewhat confident about future growth.

Over the next five years, 87% of HR managers anticipate that the workplace will continue to evolve and a greater role will be played by temporary and interim staff to cover overflow from existing teams and to support projects across Australia.

Competition is fierce for entry level candidates and flexibility with expectations is critical. Hiring managers are looking for reception and sales or project administration candidates, and those with business qualifications such as certificate 3 or 4 in business administration are favoured. In addition, numerical and technology skills are in demand, with Robert Half consultants reporting that candidates with Excel, SAP, Pronto and Oracle experience have an advantage over the competition. For candidates – communication is key For managers – moving at speed In the current highly competitive market, communication is key to securing administration and office support roles. Candidates need to ensure that they pay attention and tailor both their CV and cover letter to the specific role that they are applying for. Flexibility in salary expectations is also needed in line with the current economy and what the role should be paying. Even in a candidate rich market, hiring managers need to be ready to move quickly to hire quality candidates. Executives should also be ready to embrace the new – both technology and ideas that new staff bring to the table. Retention is critical and is based on effective management of expectations. Today there is a expectation that the next promotion is right around the corner, so give specific, time bound, and measurable targets to help your staff deliver results, earn that promotion and remain with your business. Speed to market is critical. If you find a candidate you like, move to hire them quickly. – Robert Half Recruitment Specialist – Sydney Technology skills in demand •Excel •SAP •Pronto •Oracle •Microsoft Office roberthalf.com.au Robert Half • 2015 Salary Guide 49 AUSTRALIA BRISBANE – Administration and Office Support Salary Tables Job title Salary range 2015 MELBOURNE – Administration and Office Support Salary Tables % change Job title Salary range 2015 % change Administrative Assistant $45000 - $53000 2% Administrative Assistant $48000 - $55000 3% Administrative Coordinator $50000 - $62000 4% Administrative Coordinator $52000 - $65000 4% Audio Typist $47500 - $58000 2% Audio Typist $50000 - $55000 0% Claims Administrator $45000 - $56000 1% Claims Administrator $42000 - $57000 0% Contracts Administrator $55000 - $86000 0% Contracts Administrator $57000 - $65000 3% Customer Service Manager $70000 - $100000 4% Customer Service Manager $75000 - $120000 7% 0% Customer Service Representative $42000 - $55000 1% Customer Service Representative $40000 - $55000 Customer Service Team Leader $48000 - $65000 3% Customer Service Team Leader $48000 - $62000 0% Data Entry Clerk $40000 - $48000 -2% Data Entry Clerk $40000 - $52000 0% Document Controller $53000 - $77000 2% Document Controller $55000 - $77000 0% Executive Assistant $60000 - $90000 3% Executive Assistant $70000 - $90000 3% Facilities Office Coordinator $52000 - $60000 0% Facilities Office Coordinator $55000 - $70000 5% File Clerk $35000 - $43000 -1% File Clerk $38000 - $45000 0% Human Resources Administrator $45000 - $60000 2% Human Resources Administrator $50000 - $65000 5% Human Resources Coordinator $62000 - $75000 1% Human Resources Coordinator $55000 - $65000 0% 0% Mail Room Clerk $35000 - $42000 -2% Mail Room Clerk $40000 - $50000 Marketing Assistant $45000 - $60000 3% Marketing Assistant $45000 - $65000 3% Office Manager $60000 - $86000 1% Office Manager $65000 - $90000 2% Outbound Telesales Consultant $42000 - $56000 2% Outbound Telesales Consultant $40000 - $60000 0% Personal Assistant $55000 - $75000 0% Personal Assistant $60000 - $80000 0% Project Administrator $50000 - $70000 0% Project Administrator $55000 - $70000 0% Project Coordinator $60000 - $80000 2% Project Coordinator $65000 - $80000 0% Receptionist $43000 - $55000 -3% Receptionist $43000 - $60000 0% Recruitment Assistant $60000 - $80000 4% Secretary/Team Secretary $50000 - $65000 2% Secretary/Team Secretary $50000 - $64000 0% Superannuation Administrator $55000 - $61000 0% Superannuation Administrator $45000 - $60000 0% Word Processing Clerk $45000 - $60000 0% Word Processing Clerk $42000 - $52000 0% Salary Salary range range indicates indicates the the low low and and high high values values for for a a specific specific position. position.
