In the spring of 2022, the management of Norilsk Nickel, despite the complexity of the situation, decided not to reduce social programs and not to reduce remuneration. Indexation is also planned for employees this year.
As ttelegraf.ru reported, this was said by Larisa Zelkova, Senior Vice President - Head of the HR, Social Policy and Public Relations Unit during the direct line Norilsk Nickel Live.
According to her, since the beginning of 2022, Norilsk Nickel has increased salaries at enterprises in Norilsk and the Krasnoyarsk Territory by 20%. In the Murmansk Region and other regions, the indexation was 10%. In addition, the company supported the employees by paying them an additional remuneration in the amount of a monthly base salary in 2022.
A total of 50 billion rubles were allocated for these purposes, taking into account contributions to budget funds. In 2023, the indexation of remuneration will be carried out in July, Zelkova said.
"Over the past five years, the average remuneration in the company has increased by 75%. This is a very significant increase, it covers inflation. We strive to ensure that the purchasing power of our salaries does not melt. The year before last, we developed our own methodology for assessing the consumer basket, since state methods do not take into account the peculiarities of our cities. We are guided by it. We will keep our rewards competitive and move on," Zelkova said.
In turn, Senior Vice President - Production Director Sergey Stepanov said that over the past two years, Norilsk Nickel has allocated more than five billion rubles to improve the comfort level for its employees. The total area of work covered 27,854 square meters.
In 2023-2024, the work under the "Made with Care" program will be even more intensive, Stepanov said.
