Study PwC: the most loyal employees are those in the Millenials generation
The average period spent by employees in a company is four years and the most loyal are the employees of the generation Y or Millenials ( born between 1977 and 1994)who represent the majority of the employees ( over 60%) in the companies analysed in a PwC study.
The rate of leaving out of the initiative of the employees was 18.7% this year, up by 5.1% against 2107, and approximately a third (32.3%) of the people who left on their own initiative had been hired for less than a year in the compay, according to the study of analysis of efficiency of human capital, PwC Saratoga 2019. Almost 60% of those who left voluntarily belong to generation Z ( born after 1995).
A similar tendency, but not as ample as the previous one, is noticed in the case of stopping the contracts up by 4.1 percentage points against two years ago, up to 23.3% as well as redundencies with 1.4 percentage points up to 4.3%.
‘The competition between the employers has become very strong, over the last years, due to the deficit of workforce. As a result, both salaries and the benefits packages or the working environment have become more attractive at the level of the whole market, as the companies have improved their hiring offers and have made investments in training programmes and hiring costs.The good news is that, as a whole, the rentability of the human capital, the productivity indicator has grown by approximately 10% among the participating companies’ stated Ionut Simion, Country Managing Partner, PwC Romania, in a press release. Te productivity indicator went upfrom 1.35 two years ago to 1.54 in 2019, as a result both of the growth of consumption and the domestic optimization with the help of technology.
Similarly, another important tendency is the sum allocated for training and development programmes which grew by 30% against 2017, at 762 euro per employee.
