Translated from 日本語 • View original You may see an article that says, "Raising your salary does not increase your loyalty."
I am against using salaries as a means to do good management. I would like to write "Why?"
Does motivation increase with salary in the first place?
Of course, everyone is happier to go up than not to go up. So motivation will not decrease.
However, it is temporary, and once you get used to the increased salary, it becomes commonplace and has nothing to do with motivation.
In this context, there are people who say, "Salary doesn't motivate you, so it's better to do it in a different way."
So, should we raise salaries as little as possible? Salary is an expense in accounting and reduces profits, so there is no need to raise salaries from the perspective of short-term management efficiency.
Is that really the case?
Fairness in Management
Management must be fair. It is not fair to "want to use people with the highest ability possible and at the lowest possible salary".
If it's not fair, you lose trust. In the medium to long term, the members there will leave the company. (The reason why it does not have an impact in the short term is due to Japan's low employment mobility.) ）
Therefore, it is important to pursue fairness in salary as well.
So what should we do?
That is**, "when the value of human resources increases, we will raise salaries firmly in conjunction with** them."
At Colorkrew, we aim for absolute evaluation, not relative evaluation, as many companies do. In addition, the idea is not to use the idea of "resources" of salary as much as possible, but to determine the salary based on the value of each person.
Of course, funds are not inexhaustible, so we cannot completely ignore resources, but we are making efforts to make the overall salary expenditure closer to a satisfactory one by making information open and understanding the limits of the company's funds together.
How to strike a balance between improving business profits in proportion to the increase in the value of human resources is the art of management.
How to Determine Your Salary
The value of human resources in a company is based on the evaluation of work from those around them, their value in the market, and the value from a management perspective. (contribution to the company). The human resources system needs to be sharpened to ensure this.
In other words, a salary increase means that you grow in the organization and are recognized.
It is a natural logic with this idea that salaries do not increase just because they have been there for a long time.
When value rises and salaries rise, individuals gain the strength to survive
The increase in salary in tandem with the increase in value means that not only do you become financially wealthy, but you also gain the power to survive in the market for the individual.
Gaining the ability to survive is very important for living in society. I think it is desirable that the salary be linked to that "ability to survive".
In other words, it is the job of management to create a state where raising salaries = improving skills and providing an environment for that growth.
What will happen if the value does not increase when it is not growing, but only the salary rises?
First of all, the desire to make an effort to improve your skills will fade. Therefore, the value and salary are increasingly separated.
Also, if it is not commensurate with your current salary, it is difficult to change jobs beyond those conditions, so it creates a state that is not very happy for the company and the person himself, "no matter how uncomfortable it is, I will continue to stay at my current company."
Raising salaries is the mission of management
Rather than raising salaries to increase motivation, increasing the competitiveness of each person and raising salaries in conjunction with this is the means to best reward employees as a management, which in turn will lead to improved competitiveness of the company as a whole.
If you think about it this way, it can be said that raising salaries is the mission of management itself.
