resources; banking, financial services and insurance; and hospitality, tourism, and catering. \u201cThese industries are not just setting a salary benchmark. They are driving economic transformation in our region,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, McDonald said \u201ceducation, childcare and training, retailing, wholesaling and purchasing, and the public sector present opportunities for compensation reform\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CSHRP, however, seemed to acknowledge possible limitations of the survey. \u201cWhile robust, we acknowledge that our salary survey represents a snapshot of participating organisations and may not capture the market variations across the different countries and industries,\u201d McDonald said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the organisation hopes that the survey results will spur more dialogue about salaries in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs a region, we must collectively define what constitutes compensation packages and address financial security while considering the total employee experience. As you explore this report, consider the implications beyond the numbers,\u201d McDonald said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response to queries about the survey, Largie disclosed that only 6.5 of total survey responses came from the public sector, while in Jamaica, public sector representation accounted for 3.6 per cent of responses for the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Largie also revealed that 14.4 per cent of of the responses came from micro enterprises (less than 10 employees), 18 per cent of responses were from small enterprises (11-50 employees), 41.7 per cent of responses were from medium enterprises (51-250 employees), while 25.9 per cent of responses were from large enterprises (more than 250 employees).<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-3503904150\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE FULL REPORT WHICH MENTIONS ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA COSTS US$550, DONATE NOW IF YOU WANT US TO PURCHASE IT: https:\/\/paypal.me\/antiguanewsroom1?country.x=JM&amp;locale.x=en_US JAMAICA GLEANER- A survey of salaries conducted among 119 companies in 20 Caribbean countries released this week indicates that Jamaica may have the lowest salaries in the region on average.
