Every day, 49% of employees worldwide experience work-related stress, and 59% of professionals claim they haven’t partaken in any vocational training in recent times. In Poland, a staggering 88% of representatives of the finance and real estate sectors share their employers’ values, 9 out of 10 representatives of generation X believe their work has meaning and purpose, and IT sector talents feel the most confident while looking for new job opportunities. These are the findings from the recently published ManpowerGroup’s “Global Talent Barometer 2024” report. The study also shows that in Poland, more women than men in the baby boomer generation believe they have sufficient opportunities to acquire new skills, while service sector employees claim to have the least access to the technology and tools necessary for their work.
The latest ManpowerGroup report shows that workers in Poland have a better sense of well-being, job satisfaction, and stability within their organization compared to talents globally. The Talent Barometer for Poland—who’s a new tool used to measure prosperity, job satisfaction, and feeling of self-confidence among workers worldwide—has notably scored 69%, making it two percentage points higher than the global result of 67%.
“We are in a very interesting moment, given that teams consist of representatives from various generations, many companies are returning to offices more so than before, and several industries are experiencing certain disturbances,” says Tomasz Walenczak, the general manager of ManpowerGroup in Poland.
“Nine out of ten people in Poland feel that their work has a purpose,” according to the analysis. Merely 38% of those employed in Poland feel little to no work-related stress daily—the highest level of daily anxiety (49%) is reported by professionals in natural sciences and healthcare, manual laborers (66%), and office workers (65%). Conversely, the lowest stress levels are seen among the IT industry representatives (28%) and men from generation X (30%). 87% of Polish talents argue that their job has significant purpose, of which 94% in the energy and utility sector agree with. This sentiment is also shared by specialists (95%) and mid-management (89%).
Tom Walenczak, the general manager of ManpowerGroup in Poland, emphasizes that a sense of meaning in daily work and shared values among talents and companies are significant aspects. “Our data shows that the wellbeing indicator for Polish organizations is 4 percentage points higher than the global average. This reflects the positive mood among employees in organizations,” says the expert.
78% of those employed in organizations along the Vistula River believe they hold values similar to those of their organization. According to the data on labor market generations, 93% of baby boomer women agree with this statement, as do 99% of finance and real estate representatives. The ManpowerGroup suggests that slightly over half (55%) of talents in Poland are satisfied with their work and have no plans to change their profession in the next six months.
“Managers should always remember that they gain a talent with the potential to be harnessed and unlocked by hiring a person. Not only will they gain a fantastic employee, but also someone who, while spreading their wings, will become an integral part of that, which is also crucial for the organization,” adds Tomasz Walenczak.
ManpowerGroup also examined how confident employees feel about finding a new job within the next six months. It turns out that 61% of respondents were quite or moderately certain of this fact. The most confident in this area were IT talents (71%), specialists (69%), and 63% of women from generation X.
