The expert stated that the trend for long-term work in the same company is increasing.

The trend of job hugging is becoming more popular among Russians, which consists in the desire to hold onto a job for a long time, even in the absence of career growth. This was announced on June 5 by the HR director of the developer Level Group, Valentina Romanova.

"There's nothing wrong with holding on to a job. But it is important to continue to develop within this company, and not just "gain a foothold" in place," she said in an interview with Gazeta.Ru».

According to Romanova, such a strategy becomes most frequent during periods of uncertainty. She attributed the difficulties of moving to a new organization after many years of work to one of the main risks. People who have been in the same corporation for a long time gain the trust of employers, but during the transition it is more difficult for them to adapt to conditions in a new environment and under new management models.

Romanova also noted that new employees in similar positions may receive more than those who have been working for a long time. This may occur against the background of the lack of regular salary reviews and market analysis within the company.

It is noted that in the coming years, a similar trend may persist against the background of uncertainty in the labor market, and companies that seek to retain strong employees will be forced to more actively develop internal growth systems and review compensation. Otherwise, prolonged "fixation" of employees in one place may lead to a decrease in their involvement and an increase in latent turnover, which for employers will manifest itself in a more drastic and widespread form.

He clarified that corporations are trying to treat their employees with care, while structural changes are being carried out in the entire labor market.
