Four companies in Romania receive Best Employers title
Four companies in Romania were awarded the Best Employer title in the Best Employers Study in Central and Eastern Europe – Adobe Systems, Syngenta Agro, Tuca Zbarcea & Asociatii and McDonald’s Romania. These companies proved their ability to engage and motivate employees even in recessionary times, no matter the country or competition on the labor force by the constant consideration for their employees.
Hewitt Associates, a global human resources services company, today announced the results of its annual Best Employers Study for Central and Eastern Europe sponsored by The Wall Street Journal Europe.
The study, which surveyed about 160,000 employees and 4,000 C-suite leaders in 11 countries, shows that Best Employers are already taking practical steps break the spiral of falling motivation amongst employees, process triggered by the current economic downturn.
Hewitt research found that 31% participants reported a decrease in employee engagement, compared to just 15% in previous years.
Employee engagement is dramatically endangered in an economic downturn - just when companies need their employees to be most productive.
The good news is that this can be prevented. Findings from Hewitt’s latest research have confirmed some practical steps that Best Employers are already taking to improve engagement and regain employees’ commitment and trust” said Rita Veres, leader of Hewitt Associates’ engagement practice in Europe.
In the small and medium scale company category of Best Employers Study 2008/09 CEE, Turkey’s Ceva Logistics took the top spot while in the large scale company category, this year’s No1 was Ritz Carlton.
Five companies received special recognition for demonstrating excellence as Best Employers regionally, as they were awarded Best Employer title in at least three countries. These companies are Microsoft, Hilti, DHL, McDonald’s and GlaxoSmithKline.
