The involvement of Polish employees is declining

In Poland, we have an increasing percentage of completely disengaged employees, according to research carried out by Kincentric. Currently, it is almost 25 percent, while the world average is only 14 percent. After the first half of the year, a decline in moods among employees is also visible.
The commitment of Polish employees analyzed by Kincentric in 2019 amounted to 51 percent. The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 caused a temporary increase in commitment to 59 percent. However, the data after the second quarter of this year indicate a decrease to 50 percent.
The Kincentric analyzes also recorded a clear drop in the mood of Polish employees, which was visible concerning the data after Q1 2021. Currently, employees are less willing to speak positively about the company and at the same time more willing to look for another job.
Especially remote work in the sanitary regime harmed, among other things, access to knowledge. It is also becoming increasingly difficult for employees to achieve a sense of work-life balance. The situation is complicated by rising inflation, which will result in further pressure to improve wage adequacy, as well as relatively low unemployment.
According to the Work Trend Index 2021 research carried out by Microsoft, as many as 41 percent of employees are considering leaving their jobs within the next year. The trend of mass departures has been termed The Great Resignation and is now sweeping through the United States. The wave of mass departures may also reach Poland.
"It will be necessary to transform the organizational culture and develop a new formula of work adapted, inter alia, to the expectations of employees who mostly do not want to return to the old model of work," Magdalena Warzybok, Managing Director of Kincentric Poland, explained.
