Wipro has hiked salaries of its employees by 9.5 per cent, an improvement when compared to 2015 when it hiked salaries by 7 per cent as it seeks to revive growth.
“Effective June 1, the average salary hike will be 9.5 per cent for offshore employees and 2 per cent for onsite employees,” said Saurabh Govil, Chief Human Resources Officer, Wipro. Further, he added that high performers will be rewarded with substantially higher increases in their compensation, something which the company had said last year too but did not go into specifics.
