At least three out of every 10 workers change jobs when they find a better salary, this being the main factor for job rotation, a situation that in the tourism industry represents serious complications for maintaining the workforce.
Beatriz Robles, Director of Operations at Manpower, highlighted that salary is the determining factor for whether the youngest people – the so-called “centennials” – accept or not a job.
Likewise, this sector also considers whether the offer is for formal employment, that is, with a contract and benefits; along with growth and work flexibility.
She highlights the fact that this sector will represent 58% of the workforce by 2030.
These strategies also need to be accompanied by actions such as
Recognition to collaborators,
Growth possibilities and
Purpose of the company.
Even not having competitive salaries leads to informality, a sector that provides direct and net income; However, it creates a gap in access to legal benefits, such as health services.
One strategy to avoid unnecessary turnover and attract staff is to provide above-average salaries.
Otherwise, these personnel usually change jobs due to minimal salary differences, a situation that affects companies, especially in the hotel sector of Quintana Roo.
In the hotel industry, up to 8% of the workforce is missing, but this is due to staff turnover: workers who are looking for better opportunities with a change of job, this according to data from the Hotel Association of Cancún, Puerto Morelos and Isla Women.
