Zhao Di, a human resources employee in Suzhou, was interviewed by the Global Times on a topic that concerns many Chinese: what makes employees stay in their jobs?
He told the newspaper that employers should maintain a good relationship with their employees through giving them a helping hand, allowing them to develop their talents and leading them into achieving their long-term goals.
However, those suggestions seem to be impossible since a number of employees do not want to stay in their employers, according to the survey conducted by China Youth Daily. It shows what employees really think about their jobs, more particularly with their salaries, and what they do about in order to survive.
Zhao is also one of the many employees thinking of resigning from his job to start another career. He is one of the 67.1 percent of people who apply for new jobs in order to have a higher net salary.
Out of 2,000 respondents, 64.6 percent stated that they are open to the idea of seeking a new employer. Meanwhile, 65.5 percent admitted that constantly changing jobs is a proven way of getting their net salary higher than before.
Employees who possess three to five years of work experience are the most confident ones to leave their present jobs since they are more qualified.
While 72.7 percent prefer longer stay for a more stable career, 77.5 percent consider other job offers and wish to have a fair and just system when it comes to promotions and salary increase. Moreover, they hope for programs that will help with their self-growth.
Employers see this situation as a problem since they cannot get loyalty from their workers. The survey suggested that they should offer a healthy working environment, justified salary increase system, and more opportunities in order for employees to stay and love their jobs.
