27% of
\nthe Romanian managers are concerned with the labour shortage reported in the
\nfirst half of the year, according to a Confidex survey conducted by Impetum
\nGroup. This is 16% more than the level reported at the end of lui 2022. The
\nlabour shortage seems to become one of the main concerns for the business
\nenvironment, overtaking other worrying issues such as the inflation rate and
\nprice rises, which were a concern for almost half of the managers interviewed
\nat the end of last year, the polling company said. One solution to this
\nproblem, according to some managers, is to integrate public sector employees in
\nthe private system and to import human resources from other countries. But the
\nlatter has proved complicated, given that Romania is not an attractive country
\nfor immigrant workers, so employee retention is a challenge in itself, the
\nsurvey authors also pointed out. The Confidex survey aims to provide a clear
\nimage of the perceptions of business people in Romania, with more than 2,500
\nentrepreneurs and company executives taking part in the 8 editions of the poll
\nso far.<\/p>\n

The
\nbiggest problem facing construction companies in Romania at present has to do
\nwith the workforce, an IBC Focus report reads. Over 75% of the constructions
\nentrepreneurs say they still struggle with labour shortages, and only 11% of
\nthe respondents say they have enough employees and well trained people in their
\nteams. Nearly 58% of the participants in the poll said they were interested in increasing
\ntheir personnel numbers in the coming year. Also, one in 3 constructions
\ncompanies in Romania currently uses foreign workers, as opposed to 1 in 4
\ncompanies last year. The authors of the poll argue that the number of companies
\nadjusting to the labour market and defining procedures for employing foreign
\nworkers is growing, and some 20% of the construction companies in Romania are
\nlooking at the option of hiring foreign nationals.<\/p>\n

Another survey, conducted by Deloitte, indicates
\nthat 41% of the companies operating in Romania which say they cannot find
\nenough staff are facing a shortage of skills required for the current business
\nsystems, which is why companies increasingly resort to so-called workforce
\neco-systems, which involve the identification and management of new types of
\nhuman resources, such as consultants, freelancers, contractors or outsourcing, in
\naddition to traditional workforce consisting of full time or part time
\nemployees. The Deloitte report also indicates that, for companies in Romania,
\nthe benefits of a workforce eco-system comprising several different types of
\nhuman resources and managed through customized strategies and processes include
\nimproved financial performance for 41% of the respondents and better personnel
\nretention for 29% of the respondents. Taking part in the latest edition of the Global
\nHuman Capital Trends report, conducted by Deloitte on a yearly basis, were
\naround 10,000 respondents from 105 countries, including Romania.<\/p>\n

\nMore than 4,000 foreign nationals were found
\nstaying in Romania illegally in the first 9 months of this year, the General
\nImmigration Inspectorate announced. In January – September, the police
\nconducted nearly 13,000 checks and inspections aimed at preventing and fighting
\nthe illegal stay and unregistered employment of foreign nationals in Romania. Local
\nemployment inspectorate employees also took part in these actions. Some 9,000
\nfines were issued for the violation of the legal and employment status of
\nforeigners, and around 3,200 people were issued return decisions. Another 1,000
\nwere escorted out of the country, and 960 others were taken into custody until
\ntheir repatriation. (AMP) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
