A study shows that 65% of employees need a higher level of education than the level they receive in their company
Most companies are betting on professional recycling plans among their employees to find the vacant jobs they need in their company in their own workforce. However, these proposals still fail to convince Spaniards, as only one in four (26%) are satisfied with their ability to change jobs.
This is according to the study ‘New employment trends in Spain’, developed by Amazon and Ipsos, which shows that only 35% of employees are satisfied with the level of education they receive in their current job.
Víctor Romía, director of Amazon Customer Fulfillment in Spain, assures that “supporting employee development is key to companies’ business success.” In your company you have a specific program that allows you to take technical training to fill the positions required by the development of new technologies and by specializing you can increase your salary “up to 40%”.
The study also indicates that 43% of those surveyed demand more freedom to talk about mental health at work. In the same line of social issues reflected in the world of work, 33% of Spaniards demand to be able to speak more confidently about feminism and 30% about politics, sexual orientation and identity and gender violence.
Likewise, the survey analyzes various professional issues: 46% of Spaniards would like to be able to talk more naturally about professional aspirations and 39% about job insecurity (imposter syndrome, etc.). 38% point to their family’s economic situation as one of the problems they have difficulty solving at work.
