Recruitment firm Hays has released a survey showing 88 percent of employers intend to raise salaries in the coming year.

That figure's up from 67 percent last year and usually sits around the 40 to 50 percent mark.

The Hays Salary Guide finds 37 percent of employers plan to award increases of 3 percent of more, as they try to combat the skills shortage and stem the flow of New Zealanders heading offshore after Covid-19.

Hays New Zealand managing director Adam Shapley spoke to Susie Ferguson.
