Remote employees less likely to see pay hikes: LinkedIn

According to the findings, only 56% of fully remote employees received a pay hike this year, compared to 59% of mostly on-site workers and 64% of hybrid employees.

A new report from LinkedIn Market Research reveals a significant disparity in pay raises between remote employees and their on-site or hybrid counterparts in the United States. According to the findings, only 56% of fully remote employees received a pay hike this year, compared to 59% of mostly on-site workers and 64% of hybrid employees.

The data suggests that hybrid work may be emerging as a preferred model for balancing employer needs with employee desires for flexibility, without compromising compensation. LinkedIn News noted that these findings underscore the broader post-pandemic challenge of retaining flexibility while ensuring equity in pay and promotions.

The disparity in pay raises adds to growing concerns among remote workers about being at a disadvantage when it comes to career advancement. A recent study by United Culture found that 27% of flexible office workers in the US and UK felt they had been overlooked for promotions due to their work arrangements.

However, despite these challenges, many employees remain steadfast in their preference for remote work. LinkedIn cited a Ford Motor Company poll showing that more than half of American workers would consider taking a pay cut for more flexibility. Similarly, research from the University of South Australia last year found that 45% of Australian employees were willing to sacrifice a portion of their salary to work from home.

Beyond pay, some employees are even willing to forgo promotional opportunities for the chance to maintain their flexible work setups. These trends highlight a shifting mindset in the modern workforce, prioritizing work-life balance over traditional markers of career success.

The persistent preference for flexibility has led experts to caution employers about the potential risks of prioritizing presenteeism over productivity. Mavis Boniface, Global Operations Director at United Culture, warned that undervaluing flexible workers could have dire consequences for organizations.

"Flexibility is clearly important to all types of employees, but especially to younger employees who are the future leaders," Boniface said. "If those who work flexibly are missing out on opportunities and promotions, it means they will leave and go somewhere else – and no organization can afford to lose talent."

The LinkedIn report and related studies emphasize the need for employers to strike a balance between offering flexibility and ensuring fair compensation and advancement opportunities for all employees. As the workplace continues to evolve in the wake of the pandemic, hybrid work models appear to offer a potential middle ground.

However, as more employees weigh the trade-offs between flexibility and career progression, businesses face increasing pressure to reevaluate how they reward and promote their workforce. Without addressing these inequities, organizations risk alienating remote and flexible workers, potentially leading to talent loss in an increasingly competitive labor market.

The findings serve as a reminder that flexibility in the workplace is no longer a perk but a core expectation, particularly among younger employees. For companies, embracing this shift while maintaining fairness will be critical to attracting and retaining top talent in the years ahead.
