Findings:
A study reveals Romanian employees desire a 34% salary increase for satisfaction (average desired salary: 5,823 lei vs. current average: 4,349 lei).
This is significantly lower than a livable wage in major cities (estimated at around 1,500 euro net monthly).
Key Takeaway:
Employees struggle to balance essential expenses, savings, and discretionary spending due to rising living costs.
Trend:
There's a potential rise in employee turnover as over half (53%) plan to switch jobs within 6 months.
Conclusions:
Dissatisfaction with current salaries is high due to cost of living and work-life balance concerns.
Salary remains a top motivator for Romanian employees compared to other benefits.
Implications for Brands (Employers):
Offering competitive salaries is crucial to attract and retain talent.
Consider benefits that improve work-life balance (flexibility, remote work) to become more attractive employers.
