Every second Russian company expressed willingness to raise salaries

In Russia, every second company is ready to raise their salary and review their workload in order to retain an employee. This is stated in the results of a study by the Russian School of Management, which were reviewed by Izvestia on May 12.

Experts have found that 93% of employers attempt to retain an employee if he wants to quit. At the same time, 35% always do this, and 58% — depending on the position of the employee. Only 7% of respondents admitted that they are not trying to retain employees at all.

Most often, employers try to retain productive and highly effective employees (71%), promising and talented ones (70%), as well as those who find it difficult to quickly find a replacement (42%).

Some employers said that they try to keep everyone (12%), but there are also those who do not persuade anyone to stay (7%).

On a personal calculation: employers began to worsen the conditions of the VMI

Companies choose cheaper clinics and add a franchise to the policy.

To retain a valuable specialist, companies change work tasks or reduce workload (55%), raise salaries (51%), offer career growth (42%), organize training and professional development (36%), involve in interesting projects (33%), promise bonuses and bonuses (27%).

At the same time, only 8% are ready to improve working conditions, and 7% do not take any steps at all to retain an employee.

At the same time, 56% of employers are confident that in the long term it will not be possible to keep a person in the company who once decided to leave. At the same time, 44% believe in the possibility of changing an employee's decision and keeping him in the company for a long time.

"One—time measures - salary increases or bonuses — work temporarily. If an employee no longer sees any prospects for himself, it is difficult to change his decision to quit. Systematic work is most effective: regular feedback, development, clear career paths and participation in significant tasks. This helps to keep people engaged before they start looking for new opportunities in other companies," said Anastasia Borovskaya, director of the Russian School of Management.

Earlier, on April 22, it was reported that among the Russians surveyed, almost half (49%) gave priority to Moscow in workaholism: the capital is traditionally associated with a dynamic rhythm of life and high competition. This is stated in the results of a study of the services "Work.<url>" and "Part-time job". St. Petersburg took the second place (25%), Novosibirsk took the third (14%).
