在日本面临数十年来最快的通货膨胀上升速度之际,优衣库(Uniqlo)服装品牌所有者迅销公司(Fast Retailing Co.)将把日本全职员工的年薪提高至多40%,试图通过激励来留住员工。

这家零售商在1月11日的一份声明中说,该计划将涵盖总部和门店的员工。该公司表示,新员工、门店经理和更广范围的员工都将实现加薪。

东京消费者物价指数自1982年以来首次超过预期达到4%,这家亚洲最大的快时尚服装零售商和供应商加入了日本人寿保险公司(Nippon Life Insurance Co.)和三得利控股有限公司(Suntory Holdings Ltd.)等其他为员工加薪的企业行列。日本的平均工资是七国集团(G7)中最低的,这个世界第三大经济体工资已经停滞不前达几十年了。

迅销公司表示:“今后,每位员工的新薪酬将由全球统一的等级标准决定”,其依据是工作绩效和成果,以及对业务的贡献能力。

迅销公司称,大学毕业生的起薪将从25.5万日元增加到30万日元(约2,270美元),而新店长的工资将从29万日元增加到39万日元。该公司还表示,公司计划将其他员工的年薪提高至多40%。

迅销公司说,由于此次调整,包括2022年兼职员工的小时工资上涨,今年日本的总人力成本有望攀升约15%,该公司可以通过提高生产力来应对这一变化。

日本的各大企业采取了一系列类似的措施,迅销公司也加入了这一行列,采取了相应措施。据当地媒体报道,日本人寿保险公司计划为销售代表加薪约7%,这将使人力成本增加1亿日元,而三得利控股有限公司将为员工加薪约6%。据当地媒体报道,啤酒酿造商朝日集团控股有限公司(Asahi Group Holdings Ltd.)、麒麟控股公司(Kirin Holdings Co.)和日本扎幌啤酒控股有限公司(Sapporo Holdings Ltd.)也在考虑提高基本工资。

根据经济合作与发展组织(Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development)的数据,2021年日本的平均年薪为3.97万美元。经合组织成员国的平均水平为5.16万美元,其中美国最高,为7.47万美元。

东京的消费价格上涨被视为预测全国趋势的一大指标,也可能进一步加剧人们的猜测,即日本央行将调整货币政策,退出长期大规模的货币宽松政策。2022年12月,日本央行宣布将10年期日本国债收益率波动区间从目标水平扩大,这一举措震惊了全球市场,人们更确信日本央行将改变现行政策。(财富中文网)

Uniqlo clothing brand owner, Fast Retailing Co., will raise annual pay for full-time employees in Japan by as much as 40%, seeking to retain and motivate staff as the nation faces the fastest pace of inflation in decades.

The plan will cover workers at headquarters as well as in stores, the retailer said in a statement Wednesday. The wage hikes will impact new hires, store managers and a broader swathe of employees, the company said.

Asia’s largest retailer and purveyor of fast-fashion apparel joins other domestic businesses such as Nippon Life Insurance Co. and Suntory Holdings Ltd. that are raising wages as consumer prices in Tokyo outpaced forecasts to hit 4% for the first time since 1982. The average wage in Japan is the lowest level of the G-7 nations, and the world’s third-largest economy has stagnated for decades.

“Going forward, the new remuneration of each employee will be decided by globally aligned grade criteria” based on work performance and results, as well as ability to contribute to the business, Fast Retailing said.

Starting monthly salaries for university graduates will increase to ¥300,000 ($2,270) from ¥255,000, while salaries for new store managers will rise to ¥390,000 from ¥290,000, Fast Retailing said. For other employees, the company plans to increase annual salaries by as much as 40%, it added.

As a result of the revision, including last year’s hourly wage increase for part-time workers, total personnel costs in Japan are on track to climb by about 15% this year, an impact the company can absorb by improving productivity, Fast Retailing said.

The retailer’s move follows a raft of similar moves across corporate Japan. Nippon Life Insurance plans to increase salaries for sales representatives by about 7%, pushing up personnel costs by ¥100 million, while Suntory will raise wages roughly 6%, according to local reports. Brewers Asahi Group Holdings Ltd., Kirin Holdings Co. and Sapporo Holdings Ltd. are also considering increasing base salaries, local media have said.

The average annual wage in Japan was $39,700 in 2021, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The average of the OECD countries was $51,600 and the US had the highest level of $74,700, it said.

Rising consumer prices in Tokyo are seen as an indicator of the nationwide trend and also a factor that could further fuel speculation the Bank of Japan will adjust monetary policy to exit a long period massive monetary easing. The central bank shocked markets around the world in December 2022 by announcing a wider 10-year bond yield target, adding to expectations that it will shift policy.
