A new survey shows that UAE companies are budgeting average base salary increases of 3.4% in 2026, with executives and senior managers expected to receive the highest pay rises. Recruitment experts say organisations are increasingly focusing on merit-based increases, performance incentives, and variable pay schemes to reward high-performing employees while managing costs. The findings also indicate relatively low employee turnover in the UAE, suggesting strong workforce retention compared with many global markets. What are your views? Do you think performance-based pay is a fairer way to reward employees than giving the same salary increase to everyone?
