Romulus Marculescu, Risk Management and Compliance Head Europe, Wipro: On a short to medium term, we could witness a company-driven trend on the labor market

“It is difficult to predict certain trends in the current  work landscape but, based on the available data and market feeling, on a short to medium term, the labor market could shift to an employer-driven trend. This is due to the fact that currently, the attrition within the companies is decreasing and the overall work environment trigger the caution of employees. In one word, employees are staying with their employers, Of course, the cycle could reverse within one years or so, when the lifestyle and work life restrictions and limitations will be lifted off and the employees will regain the courage to explore new opportunities.”

The statement has been uttered said during the recently held  online conference  REORGANIZING THE WORK – SAFETY&HEALTH MAKE THE AGENDA, organized by The Diplomat-Bucharest on May 14 and dedicated to the current health & safety aspects defining the workplace right now.

The event benefits from the support of Gold Partners Wipro, Suciu Popa Attorneys, J8 Office Park, Partners OMV Petrom, Wave and Sea One, with the support of ANIS (the Employers’ Association of the Software and Services in Romania), Cluj IT, ACUE (Federation of Associations of Energy Utility Companies), APAR (Association for Entrepreneurship in Romania), Media Partners: Financial Intelligence, Economistul, Romania Durabila, Club Economic and Outsourcing Today.

 The need to reinvent (again) the workplace and the employees’ safety is the number 1 topic right now in the agenda of any responsible company.

The past months gave us major lessons in addressing the real priorities in terms of workplace and employees, as well as the individuals’ personal lives and space. Every public discussion since the year started turned into a human-oriented topic in real terms or just for campaigning. In the meantime, with so many industries highly affected, the general economy hurts and companies must think of continuity and business growth.

The full event report will be found on the website soon.
