Two out of ten Romanian private employees declare loyal to the company they work for, while 70 percent say they would consider a change if they find a better option, and at the opposite, 10 percent of them do not believe in loyalty compared to an employer, shows a study by UP! Your Service.
The main reason that affects the loyalty of Romanian employees to the employer is the lack of recognition of the merits, 44.8 percent of the participants in the UP! Your Service study claim. Of course, the salary, along with the extra-salary benefits provided by the company (32.3 percent of the respondents), as well as the high workload (28 percent), the stressful work environment (24.8 percent) exaggerated activity control (24 percent).
Loyalty to the workplace is also negatively influenced by the lack of the opportunity to advance in career (20.6 percent), the cumbersome working processes (17.8 percent), the relationship with the boss (16.8 percent), the lack of opportunity professional development (16.5 percent), penalties (14.2 percent) or relationship with colleagues (12 percent).
”While salary is the most important factor in choosing a job, it is no longer the main reason why an employee leaves the current employer. In fact, lack of appreciation is today the most important reason for employees to consider changing jobs. The appreciation it expects comes not only from the manager, it does not just mean benefits and compensation, but it also has to answer the question, “How valuable am I here?” That an employee can put on. If he does not feel valued, he will be tempted to look for a new job and the decisive factors in his choice will be the salary offered and the brand’s reputation, ”says Elena Calin, CEO UP! Your Service Romania.
