R&D Salaries in Belgium – The Benchmark
The “war for talents”, the struggle to find and retain the right people, has become an undeniable reality for all types of businesses, and certainly for innovative companies where high technical profiles are in great demand.
“Access to talent is obviously a key driver of innovation“, says Tina Carling, Innovation Director at Morgan Sindall Infrastructure & Innovation, in the 2022 edition of our International Innovation Barometer, “But the world is changing and people could well be reassessing their priorities, so companies need to think about how they continue to attract them, and that could well be a question of location.”
