Most of Romanian wage earners receive from their employers pay bonuses, meal tickets and gift tickets, but they would rather get private healthcare insurance policies instead, reveal findings of a recent study conducted by Mednet Marketing Research Center and Media XPRIMM, released on November 3.
The study, called “What Romanian employees receive, and what they want to receive?” indicates that 71.9% of the Bucharest wage earners and 65.6% of the wage earners outside the city receive from their employers as main additional remuneration pay bonuses – for holidays, leaves, or extra month pay – although 24.5% of the Bucharest workers and 22.7% of the employees in other big towns and cities of Romania would rather get private hea lthcare insurance policies.
Following among the additional benefits after wage premiums are meal tickets and gift tickets (received by 57.3% of the Bucharest wage earners and 54.2% of the wage earners elsewhere in Romania).
Performance bonuses are more used by Bucharest employers, with their number being double the number offered by the other employers elsewhere in the country that use such emoluments.
Mobile phone subscriptions, training courses, company cars, team building sessions, optional private pension schemes and healthcare insurance are next in the same category.
Pay bonuses and meal/gift tickets are mainly offered to public employees, while performance bonuses, mobile phone subscriptions, training courses, company cars and team building sessions are mainly offered by private employers.
Employees who are secondary school graduates receive more meal tickets than employees who are tertiary education graduates, with the latter being preferred by employers to get the other extra-wage benefits, the study says.
As far as employment stability is concerned, the study shows that Bucharest employees change jobs more often than employees elsewhere in the country, with Bucharest employees spending an average 6.68 years in the same job, while the average for employees elsewhere in the country is standing at 7.70 years.
There are differences between job seniority among public and private employees. Public employees spend an average of 10 years in the same job, while the same average for private employees is 5 years in Bucharest and 6 years in the country.
Female employees are more loyal to their jobs than their male counterparts.
Age is another important criterion in the case of employment seniority, with employees aged 36 and above tending to prefer job stability, and the employees aged between 18 and 25 recording the highest employment fluctuation rates.
An important element in the analysis of loyal employees’ profiles is the connection between educational background and the job fields. Polls indicate that those practicing in the areas where they graduate are tempted to stay more in the same employment. In Bucharest, they stay in the same employment 7.83 years, on the average, and 10.9 years elsewhere in the country.
On the other hand, the employees not practicing in the area of their educational background spend 5,56 years in the same job in Bucharest and 5.47 years in the big towns and cities of the country.
The study was conducted September 1-15 by computer assisted telephone interviews. The target pubic was represented by wage earners aged between 18 and 65 in Bucharest city and towns and cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants. As many as 374 Bucharest respondents and 388 respondents from the countryside were interviewed.
