At the same time, 71% of employees consider themselves as ambitious about their career and 41 state they want to take up more managerial responsibilities.
One third do not concentrate at all on professional evolution and 49% are happy to stay in a role they like even though there’s no room for promotion or development.
“In 2024, being a fair partner for talents is a smart objective for leaders, in order to keep valuable workforce close. Due to Randstad Romania Workmonitor 2024 we can notice an interesting dynamic when it comes to employees’ ambition, with a large part of them being less interested in career evolution and more concerned about job satisfaction. Another paradigm for managing human resources wisely in 2024 is treat each member of the team as a unique personality, coming from often highly specific environments and circumstances, which can influence preferences, desires and role in a team,” says Mihaela Maranca, Country Manager, Randstad Romania.
The survey points out that, while they do not necessarily want an evolution in their career, employees are interested in development. Opportunities in this sense are not negotiable for talents.
Randstad Romania Workmonitor 2024 also indicates that debates between employers and employees about the return to the office will continue this year.
Randstad Workmonitor was launched in 2003 and now covers 34 markets worldwide.
