“Nobody leaves for an extra €100. If this does happen, it means there were many other elements the employee was not content about,” added Patrubani. Considering the crisis, it is unlikely that companies will provide significant salary increases of over 20 percent, according to the company official.
Romanian employees are beginning to take into consideration the quality of the workplace, when evaluating a new job offer, said the Deloitte representative. “We are on our way to maturity, and the pressure of the very young generation will stress this trend of focusing on career development, organizational culture, and the dominant type of hierarchy in the company,” Patrubani said.
Moreover, in times of crisis, companies should be prepared with various human resource management plans. “The company should implement change when it is successful, not in times of crisis. It is good to ask yourself today what to do with human resources, but it would have been even better to have asked that question in times of maximum success, and have prepared plans for various situations,” Patrubani said.
