Over 40% of employees afraid of losing work: job site

More than four out of 10 employees (44 percent) are afraid of losing employment as a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic, and meanwhile, 77 percent of respondents are ready to accept an offer from a new employer, according to the job site, Pracuj.pl, study “Work in the age of coronavirus”. Interestingly, when browsing offers, respondents pay attention to the stability of employment almost as often as the amount of salary. The position of stability in the ranking is much higher than in previous years.

As many as six out of 10 working respondents are afraid of wage cuts or changes in the employment rules of the current employer due to the coronavirus pandemic. In addition, both employed and unemployed Poles participating in the survey are mostly convinced that in the current situation it will be more difficult for them (75 percent) to find a new place of employment than before, show the survey results.

The study was conducted by Pracuj.pl on April 23-28 on a group of 1,894 users of Pracuj.pl using the computer-assisted web interviewing method.
