Russian Employees Need Career Guarantees and Positive Environment

Russian employees are more eager to stay in a company if it offers career growth prospects and positive working environment, a report published by Ernst and Young said.

The company had polled 1,109 professionals in Brazil, Russia, India and China to find out the drivers of satisfaction among people, and came to a conclusion that international companies operating in BRIC countries should adapt their employment offerings to specific features of the market in each country to succeed in attracting and retaining talented employees.

"Multinational companies need to avoid a one-size-fits-all approach. Each market presents different challenges," Bill Leisy, global talent and reward leader in Ernst and Young human capital division, was quoted as saying in the company's press release. "Understanding cultural differences and professional preferences will position an organization to develop an employer brand that not only attracts the best people in the first place but also implement a strategy to engage and retain them," he said.

A Russian recruiting agency Superjob.ru has also made recently a separate survey among 10,500 people from 35 different professions in Russia to come out to a similar conclusion that carrier growth is the key factor that makes Russians chose a job and stay in a company. This is especially important for bank employees, 51 percent of which pointed out this factor as the leading one.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
