Toxic work environment leading to layoffs within the company
In a revealing survey conducted by the Dream Job platform and provided to RIA Novosti, it has been found that an unhealthy work environment is a more significant reason for Russians to resign than traditional factors like low pay, tight schedules, or issues with management.
The survey, which polled a substantial number of Russian workers, revealed that a staggering 59.3% of employees cited harsh or unsafe working conditions as the reason for their decision to leave their jobs. This finding underscores the importance of creating a positive and supportive work environment, not just in Russia, but worldwide.
Lack of career growth was another significant factor, with 23.1% of Russian workers citing this as their reason for resignation. This suggests that companies need to focus on providing opportunities for professional development and advancement to retain their employees.
Surprisingly, weak social packages or bonuses were a reason for resignation in only 11.6% of cases, according to the survey data. This could indicate that Russian workers place less emphasis on financial incentives and more on the quality of their work environment and opportunities for growth.
Long commutes or lack of remote work options are a concern for 2.5% of employees, while unethical company practices are discussed in only 0.9% of cases. Chronic stress is a concern for 1.2% of employees, and bureaucracy is a concern for 2%.
Difficulties with management were a reason for resignation for approximately 30% of employees in the survey, highlighting the need for effective leadership and management practices in the workplace.
Low wages were a reason for resignation for 41.1% of Russian workers, according to the survey. While this is a concern, it is interesting to note that the unhealthy work environment was cited more frequently as a reason for resignation.
The study's authors emphasize the importance of analyzing employee reviews, especially from those who have already left their jobs, to understand the real reasons for resignations. This approach can provide valuable insights for companies looking to improve their work environments and retain their employees.
While the Dream Job platform's study does not provide detailed findings on the most common reasons for Russian workers to resign, it offers a valuable perspective on the factors that drive employees to leave their jobs. Further research and analysis are needed to fully understand these trends and develop effective strategies for improving the work environment and retaining employees.
