Unhealthy work environment: reasons revealed for Russian employees being terminated
According to a study conducted by Dream Job service and reported by RIA Novosti, harsh and unsafe working conditions, and unhealthy work environments are the primary reasons for employee turnover in Russia.
The study reveals that 59.3% of employees in Russia are leaving their jobs due to these factors. This trend is concerning as these conditions directly impact worker well-being, job satisfaction, and productivity, prompting employees to seek safer and more supportive workplaces.
The study identifies several systemic issues in Russian workplaces that contribute to these unfavourable conditions. These include a lack of proper safety measures, intense work demands, poor management practices, and inadequate attention to workers' health and psychological needs. When employees face physical risks, stress, and toxic workplace culture, their motivation to stay decreases sharply.
These findings align with broader patterns in Russia’s economic and labor environment, where structural challenges such as weak institutional protections and underinvestment in workplace safety are prevalent. Despite some economic measures stabilizing the broader economy, investment in improving working conditions remains insufficient.
The study also reveals that the least concerning factors for employees leaving their jobs in Russia are the long commute to work (2.5%), excessive paperwork (2%), and stress and burnout (1.2%). Low wages are the third most common reason for employees leaving their jobs in Russia, with 41.1% citing this as a reason.
Interestingly, the study suggests that employees in Russia are focusing more on unhealthy work environments rather than low wages and overtime. This shift in focus could indicate a growing awareness among workers about the importance of a healthy work environment for their overall well-being.
Experts suggest studying employee feedback, particularly after they've left their jobs, to understand why they leave. This approach could provide valuable insights into the specific issues that need to be addressed to improve working conditions and reduce employee turnover in Russia.
Though the exact details of the RIA Novosti study or comprehensive statistics on these factors are not readily available, this explanation is consistent with common causes of employee turnover in Russia reported by various labor and sociological assessments.
