Business Review Magazine and D&D Research are announcing in today’s event the preliminary results of the OWB study, the first research project to measure Organizational Well-Being using a scientific instrument, deeply rooted in today’s business culture and context.
Mihail Pricop (Autonom Rent a Car): The challenge for 2017 is staff retention. We would also like to see more smiles in the offices.
We embraced the OWB Study because it came one month after the Best Employer study. There were over 90 persons that filled the survey out of over 200, said Pricop.
On the significance of work, people know what they are working for, not just to get a wage. Each employee is able to do projects on education through our foundation, said Pricop.
Ramona Salagean – human resources lead Romania, Accenture: “Accenture is going through a global change regarding the way we perceive global performance”. “We are trying to move the approach so as to encourage more individual performance, not just measuring it.”
“The new elements brought by this survey are related strictly to the individual, such as the dimension of perceived stress which was not that well measured compared to what we were doing up to now internally,” said Salagean.
We have tried through managers to explain to the employees why we are taking part in the study. We have left two apples to the table of each employee – one red and one green and ask them how he or she felt, she explained.
You need to move more in non-email area and try to capture the attention of employees through other means. The development area has been confirmed in the study, loyalty to company was similar to other studies, and the perceived stress level is in the OK area, said the Accenture representative.
Corina Ghiatau – organizational development manager, Orange Romania: “We want agility for us in 2017”.
We want to give the ball to the employees on managing wellbeing, said Ghiatau.
Dan Petre, business developer, D&D Research: We need more diversity, including more companies and more types of companies.
“This is an unique project which will represent the first study on organizational wellbeing done in Romania,” said Petre.
The average survey completion duration is of 14 minutes.
“There are results for 14 dimensions. Up to now, there are 2,537 respondents, out of 20 companies,” said Petre.
“People consider that the work they do has significance,” said Petre on the findings of the study up to now.
For Millennials, the work pressure is lower compared to Generation x. The stress is a little bit bigger for Millennials, said Petre on the other preliminary findings of the OWB study.
Petre called on companies to participate at this study, after presenting some of the initial findings of the research. He said that in order to have relevant data, at least half of the employees of a company need to fill the survey.
