Russians are no longer motivated by career growth

Most Russians identified financial incentives rather than career growth as the key motivator in their work. This is evidenced by the study of accounting for business "My business", the results of which were reviewed by Izvestia on December 11.

2.3 thousand respondents from all over Russia took part in the survey, including 650 business representatives. Only 18% of the respondents agreed that the expansion of their area of responsibility inspires them. At the same time, 87% of employees stressed that they expect regular salary increases, 53% expect bonuses and bonuses, and another 20% are convinced that bonuses and VMI are a mandatory minimum.

Entrepreneurs also agree that financial incentives are important. Thus, 83% use monthly, quarterly or annual bonuses, and 60% provide financial assistance to their employees in difficult life situations. 40% of companies compensate employees for mobile communications and the Internet, 35% for food expenses, and 28% for travel expenses. Another 17% of employers offer compensation for medical services, sports and hobbies.

The study also showed that the demonstrative "concern" of management irritates 80% of employees. Half of the respondents noted the importance of flexible working hours and freedom of action, while 20% said they were ready to quit if they could not work remotely. Another 48% of respondents stressed that they do not trust phrases like "we are one family" and "we value employees" coming from management.

According to the survey, intangible motivation has not lost its relevance. 63% of companies involve employees in significant projects, 58% express personal gratitude from management to distinguished employees, 52% use the practice of corporate recognition, and 45% celebrate achievements in front of clients and partners. 47% of respondents expect recognition from their employer.

Experts have found that the main reason for the dismissal of employees is unfair remuneration: it prompted 65% of respondents to change their place of work. In 32% of cases, the departure was influenced by the transformation of work into a set of random assignments, and in 28% by the feeling that the employee was being used and not appreciated.

"Most companies underestimate the financial losses from staff turnover: direct costs are just the tip of the iceberg. A failure in the examination is much more dangerous. For example, the departure of a strong specialist is not just the selection of a replacement, but the failure of the entire system. The processes are slowing down, the load is increasing, and the number of errors is increasing," the experts concluded.

Delay service: Russians began to complain more often to Rostrud because of salaries

There have been 1.6 times more appeals on this topic — why businesses do not pay salaries on time and how they are punished for this.

Earlier, on December 8, Science X magazine reported that international research records a record increase in professional burnout among young employees. One of the reasons is the rapid changes in the work environment, to which employees do not have time to adapt.
