It's arbitrary to a company when it comes to wages. What matters is "can we hire/retain the people we want at compensation $X".
If $X needs to increase because they can hire/retain the people they want, then $X needs to increase.
The government publishing a single inflation numbers is kind of irrelevant to the equation. If they can keep hiring/retaining the people they want, in spite of inflation going up, then nothing has to change.
