Key Messages from our HA Executive Reward Survey

• Year on year executive pay has increased by 3.2%

• Median expected rise is 2%, with 59% expected to award between 1% and 2%

• Less than 1/3rd of HA Executive receiving bonus

• Car Allowances steady at 8% of base pay

• 65% of associations expect staff numbers to remain steady, 26% expect growth

Key Themes for Welsh HAs (1)

• The gap between general housing and supported housing pay is remaining constant

• Half of organisations continue with pay restraint

• Half of associations expect staff numbers to stay constant

• A third expect increase linked to business growth or diversification

Key Themes for Welsh HAs (2)

• Recruitment challenge is for technical and skilled support roles

• Community networks trump job centres

• Succession planning still informal in most associations

• Staff turnover increased from 11.2% to 12.9%

• 71.6% of leavers left the housing sector completely

Key Themes for Welsh HAs (3)

• Sickness absence levels increased slightly (3.5% to 3.8%)

• Stress is still the most common cause of long term absence
