Introduction
Welcome to Nigel Wright Group’s Spanish salary survey 2017, which is
specifically designed to provide you with an insight into the salaries

section of respondents with the following profile:
•	 Consumer sub-sector: Advertising and Media; Clothing, Footwear and Accessories; Consumer Electronics; Food
& Drink; Health & Beauty; Home Construction / DIY; Retail; Telecommunications; Toys & Games, Travel & Leisure,
Sports / Sporting Goods, Warehousing & Logistics Services;
•	 Male 73%, female 27%;
•	 40% of respondents are in their thirties and 44% in their forties;
•	 89% of respondents are educated to degree level or above; 65% have a Master’s degree and 3% a PhD;
•	 35% have been in their current position less than two years; 39% for between two and five years, 15% for
between five and ten years and 11% for 10 or more years.
The first three parts of the survey focuses on some general points of interest, such as levels of satisfaction,
respondents’ motivation to change jobs as well as attitudes towards skill shortages and the qualities needed to
succeed in the industry. This is followed by discipline-specific analyses of salaries.

Respondents’ profiles
The ten-month political deadlock which ended in October didn’t stifle
Spain’s economic recovery as many feared it would. With annual growth
set at 3.2 percent, it’s fair to say the year ended positively; 2016 also
being the third consecutive year Spain has enjoyed favourable economic
conditions. Although the rate of growth is expected to slow over the
next few years, it will likely still exceed 2.5 percent - year-on-year -
at least until 2020.
There are various factors driving Spain’s resurgence. Firms expanding overseas have boosted exports, of course,
though consumer spending has perhaps been a more prominent catalyst. It was Spain’s shoppers, in the main,
which helped the European grocery industry grow at its fastest rate for a year in 2016. At 3.6 percent, the
performance of the Spanish sector far outstripped that of its peers’ in Germany, the UK, France and Italy.
Job creation is another major contributor to growth and recent reports suggesting that Spain’s unemployment
rate will fall below 17 percent in 2017 is a further sign of a country heading in the right direction. Around 500,000
jobs will be created this year surpassing 2016’s record by 30%, and confirming an overall 10 percent reduction in
unemployment from its peak back in 2013.
So, what are the negatives? Well … despite these improvements in the data, its salaries that have taken a hit for
Spain’s progress. This is certainly reflected in the results of our 2017 salary survey. A recent study confirmed that
salaries in Spain are 17.8 percent lower than average wages in the EU, and the average monthly wage in Spain
hasn’t changed, for better or worse, since 2013. Further analysis of the economic situation reveals that inhibiting
wage growth, however, has been a major factor in facilitating a competitive business environment at home while
positioning Spain as a contender in international markets.
Incremental economic growth together with expected job creation this year suggests the employment market
would benefit from salary increases in 2017. One of the knock-on effects of lower unemployment has been a
reduction in overall productivity due to the high number of temporary jobs coming on to the market. The pressure
is on, therefore, for Spanish companies to create better, more highly paid jobs to help reduce the precarity of the
employment market, while accelerating growth and acting to offset the pressure of the rising prices of food and fuel
on consumers.
We hope you enjoy reading the report and find the perspectives offered to be useful. Should you have further
questions, please do not hesitate to contact a member of our team who would be more than happy to clarify any
of the information presented.

1.1 Job satisfaction by job level
Respondents were asked to rate their level of job satisfaction on the following five-point scale:
Executive (C-suite & board level) unsurprisingly display the highest levels of job satisfaction.
The results show that almost a fifth (21%) of the workforce are dissatisfied, but the majority are satisfied with
60% saying they are either moderately or very satisfied. Although there are variations between the strength of
respondents’ satisfaction there is a correlation between levels of satisfaction and position/salary. The challenge,
then, is to find out why employees are dissatisfied and what can be done to change this, whilst ensuring that the
satisfaction level of the rest of the workforce is maintained.
1. Very satisfied
4. Moderately dissatisfied 5. Very dissatisfied
2. Moderately satisfied 3. Neither satisfied or dissatisfied

1.2 Job satisfaction by discipline and
hours worked
Respondents were asked to rate their level of job satisfaction on the following five-point scale:
Marketing & HR people are happier in their jobs than
other disciplines – and sales people show higher levels
of dissatisfaction than average.
We also examined number of hours worked against job
satisfaction, but other than people working under 40
hours, there were no great differences to be seen.

1.3 Changing jobs - factors influencing
a change of roles internally or
externally to another organisation
Respondents were asked to select the top three factors that would motivate them to change jobs, both within their
current company (internally) and to another organisation (externally).
In the consumer sector, although money is important, the opportunity to experience new challenges is a persuasive
factor for employees considering their next move. Achieving an improved work-life balance is also an increasingly
important factor for job seekers today.

1.4 Methods used to search for a
new role
Respondents were asked to select all methods that they would utilise when looking for a new role. Social
networking is the most important method for job seekers in Spain, but a high proportion will also make approaches
directly to employers. Using social networking sites and online job boards to identify job opportunities now
completely surpasses the use of printed media such as newspapers and magazines.

2.3 Importance of benefits as part of a
remuneration package
Respondents felt that the three most important employer benefits as part of a remuneration package were a
personal bonus (59%), flexible working (55%), health insurance (46%) and company car with petrol (36%). Holiday
entitlement, career breaks, childcare allowances and a non-contributory pension were all deemed less important.
For women, flexible working is more important than a personal bonus in an overall remuneration package. Men
tend to value bonus & car allowances as more important factors in their overall benefits package than women do.
Women value flexible working, an employer contributory pension, holidays and cars more than men value these
benefits.

Only 42% of respondents received a pension. This is much lower than other European countries.
Of those who receive a company pension there is an average of 4.8% contribution from the employer with the
recipient contributing less (3.6%). We asked whether those receiving a pension were concerned about their final
pension pot, and 91% said they were concerned with over a third (36%) admitting that they were very concerned.

We also asked our sample how many nights do they stay away from home during the week, and found that a
surprisingly high number, 63%, spend at least one night away from home.
Just over a third (37%) average one night away per week, 17% average two nights and 9% are spending at least
three (although 77% of those spending 3 nights away are earning 70,000 Euros or more). The figures show an
unsurprising correlation between higher salaries and time away from home.

Over half (56%) of respondents felt that there were skill shortages at their place of work. These respondents were
then asked what actions their employers have taken to correct these skill shortages. The actions most cited by just
under a third of our sample were recruiting from other industries or increasing training.

Spanish Consumer Sector Salary Survey 2017

  • 1. Spanish Consumer Sector Salary Survey 2017 What are you worth?
  • 2. Introduction Welcome to Nigel Wright Group’s Spanish salary survey 2017, which is specifically designed to provide you with an insight into the salaries commanded by professionals within this sector. Nigel Wright Group has earned a strong reputation within the consumer sector across Europe for providing a high-quality recruitment service that is built upon our industry knowledge. We consider it important to continue to bring you relevant, useful information that you can use, in an accessible format. This survey has been compiled from the responses of respondents who completed our online questionnaire in the first quarter 2017 as well as data from our own extensive database of candidates. The survey represents a cross- section of respondents with the following profile: • Consumer sub-sector: Advertising and Media; Clothing, Footwear and Accessories; Consumer Electronics; Food & Drink; Health & Beauty; Home Construction / DIY; Retail; Telecommunications; Toys & Games, Travel & Leisure, Sports / Sporting Goods, Warehousing & Logistics Services; • Male 73%, female 27%; • 40% of respondents are in their thirties and 44% in their forties; • 89% of respondents are educated to degree level or above; 65% have a Master’s degree and 3% a PhD; • 35% have been in their current position less than two years; 39% for between two and five years, 15% for between five and ten years and 11% for 10 or more years. The first three parts of the survey focuses on some general points of interest, such as levels of satisfaction, respondents’ motivation to change jobs as well as attitudes towards skill shortages and the qualities needed to succeed in the industry. This is followed by discipline-specific analyses of salaries. For further information or to discuss your recruitment requirements please contact us on +34 917 88 31 74 and you will be directed to a consultant specialising in your area.

  • 4. The ten-month political deadlock which ended in October didn’t stifle Spain’s economic recovery as many feared it would. With annual growth set at 3.2 percent, it’s fair to say the year ended positively; 2016 also being the third consecutive year Spain has enjoyed favourable economic conditions. Although the rate of growth is expected to slow over the next few years, it will likely still exceed 2.5 percent - year-on-year - at least until 2020. There are various factors driving Spain’s resurgence. Firms expanding overseas have boosted exports, of course, though consumer spending has perhaps been a more prominent catalyst. It was Spain’s shoppers, in the main, which helped the European grocery industry grow at its fastest rate for a year in 2016. At 3.6 percent, the performance of the Spanish sector far outstripped that of its peers’ in Germany, the UK, France and Italy. Job creation is another major contributor to growth and recent reports suggesting that Spain’s unemployment rate will fall below 17 percent in 2017 is a further sign of a country heading in the right direction. Around 500,000 jobs will be created this year surpassing 2016’s record by 30%, and confirming an overall 10 percent reduction in unemployment from its peak back in 2013. So, what are the negatives? Well … despite these improvements in the data, its salaries that have taken a hit for Spain’s progress. This is certainly reflected in the results of our 2017 salary survey. A recent study confirmed that salaries in Spain are 17.8 percent lower than average wages in the EU, and the average monthly wage in Spain hasn’t changed, for better or worse, since 2013. Further analysis of the economic situation reveals that inhibiting wage growth, however, has been a major factor in facilitating a competitive business environment at home while positioning Spain as a contender in international markets. Incremental economic growth together with expected job creation this year suggests the employment market would benefit from salary increases in 2017. One of the knock-on effects of lower unemployment has been a reduction in overall productivity due to the high number of temporary jobs coming on to the market. The pressure is on, therefore, for Spanish companies to create better, more highly paid jobs to help reduce the precarity of the employment market, while accelerating growth and acting to offset the pressure of the rising prices of food and fuel on consumers. We hope you enjoy reading the report and find the perspectives offered to be useful. Should you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact a member of our team who would be more than happy to clarify any of the information presented.

Executive (board level) ALL % JOB % Over 70,000 € Management Non-management ANNUAL SALARY % Under 70,000 € 1.1 Job satisfaction by job level Respondents were asked to rate their level of job satisfaction on the following five-point scale: Executive (C-suite & board level) unsurprisingly display the highest levels of job satisfaction. The results show that almost a fifth (21%) of the workforce are dissatisfied, but the majority are satisfied with 60% saying they are either moderately or very satisfied. Although there are variations between the strength of respondents’ satisfaction there is a correlation between levels of satisfaction and position/salary. The challenge, then, is to find out why employees are dissatisfied and what can be done to change this, whilst ensuring that the satisfaction level of the rest of the workforce is maintained. 1.

  • 9. Spanish Consumer Sector Salary Survey 2017 9 1.3 Changing jobs - factors influencing a change of roles internally or externally to another organisation Respondents were asked to select the top three factors that would motivate them to change jobs, both within their current company (internally) and to another organisation (externally).

  • 14. Spanish Consumer Sector Salary Survey 201714 2.3 Importance of benefits as part of a remuneration package Respondents felt that the three most important employer benefits as part of a remuneration package were a personal bonus (59%), flexible working (55%), health insurance (46%) and company car with petrol (36%). Holiday entitlement, career breaks, childcare allowances and a non-contributory pension were all deemed less important. For women, flexible working is more important than a personal bonus in an overall remuneration package. Men tend to value bonus & car allowances as more important factors in their overall benefits package than women do. Women value flexible working, an employer contributory pension, holidays and cars more than men value these benefits. 59 60 59 1 2 0 36 40 23 15 19 3 5 6 3 55 43 87 35 38 26 14 13 15 4 4 3 46 46 44 15 13 21 13 13 15 2 2 3 BENEFITS BY GENDER All % Male % Female % Bonus - personal Holiday entitlement Bonus - company performance Health insurance Childcare allowances Share options Flexible working Career breaks / sabbaticals Employer contributory pension Company car and petrol Company car without petrol Non-contributory pension Car allowance
