TOKYO -- Nikon will increase the pay of high-skill employees and managers by up to 20%, starting in October, Nikkei has learned, as competition for talent intensifies globally in the fields with strong growth potential, such as health care.
It is rare for a major Japanese company to raise annual salaries uniformly by up to 20%. While a growing number of overseas companies are raising compensation for highly specialized staff, pay raises are usually limited to staff with highly specialized skills, such as data scientists.
