Russia (bbabo.net), - Almost half of the workers are not afraid that the active spread of "omicron" will somehow affect their work, and every sixth employee is afraid of a decrease in their income due to the new introduction of remote work for everyone may be sent to work from home. Such data was shown by the hh.ru survey. The surveyed companies assure that they are ready to change the format of work for some specialists without any problems - all technologies have been tested during the past peaks of the incidence of coronavirus and nothing will stop you from turning to this experience.

The day before, it became known about the recommendation of the Russian Trilateral Commission (RTC) to transfer the maximum possible number of employees to remote work due to the pandemic. This information was disseminated by the press service of the Ministry of Labor. According to the ministry, 3 million people are already working remotely. According to Vladimir Gimpelson, Director of the Center for Labor Studies at the Higher School of Economics, between 5 and 6 million workers were sent to the distance, that is, slightly less than 10% of the entire labor force in the country.

According to the surveyed companies, the return of the remote format will not affect the efficiency of either the employees themselves or the business as a whole.

“Remote employment is possible only for some specialties: IT, journalism, science, partly teaching, some more, but for the majority this form is not applicable,” Gimpelson believes. “The new remote work will not be a shock to the economy, although its introduction cannot be called an absolute routine. ".

Employees of 31% of companies now work remotely, SuperJob data cites. At the same time, in the capital there are "remote workers" in 47% of organizations, and in the regions - only in 21%. Which is understandable - remote employment is only suitable for office workers, and there are an order of magnitude more such in Moscow.

In addition to the need to return to remote work, omicron sets other tasks for HR departments. "Sanitary" loss of staff forced to increase the hiring of workers. According to Kelly Services Marketing Director Zhanna Volkova, the number of requests for temporary employees has increased by 20-30% in recent days. As a result, staffing costs are also on the rise.

In addition to the micron load, the labor market is also experiencing other problems - the exit from the coronavirus crisis provoked a labor shortage, Volkova continues. “Another factor is affecting the shortage of workers: due to inflation, the salary expectations of job seekers have risen, and employers want to hire them at the same salaries as they were a year ago,” explains Gimpelson. “This is not a labor shortage, but a failure in demand for it.” Few are willing to pay adequate money.

Business representatives note that now they are afraid not so much of the consequences of the pandemic as of the risks associated with political events, the possible introduction of new sanctions, and the unstable situation in the foreign exchange market. Businesses perceive these scenarios as the worst possible, believing that they will be able to cope with the "omicron", as well as with the "delta" and other strains of coronavirus.

Personnel

Employers refuse professionals

Employers are in no hurry to hire super-professional employees, according to a survey by the Superjob service.

Over-qualification is as much a problem as lack of experience. In any case, every fifth company (22%) rejects all candidates with too much knowledge. Three out of 10 respondents have experienced rejection because they have "outgrown" the position they are applying for. Even young specialists are refused (11% among respondents under 34). It is even more difficult for older super-professionals to get a job. "The more life and professional experience Russians have, the more among them are those who were denied employment due to excessive qualifications (36% among citizens over 45 years old)," Superjob notes.

Why? In theory, the bosses themselves should chase after people who know everything and can do it. "If a person is objectively overqualified (superqualified) for a particular vacancy, the employer logically has doubts about his motivation and interest. In this case, the candidate should prepare arguments in advance why he is applying for this particular vacancy," says Ekaterina Movsesyan, general director of the CROS agency. situations often arise when a manager can see a threat to himself in a more competent specialist.

But there are also situations when a candidate underestimates himself and claims a position lower than he could. In this case, the employer is more likely to win - by hiring such an employee, he will receive more skills for less money."Excessive qualification of a candidate for a position can really be a problem in employment. According to some employers, super-qualified specialists come to them only to "sit out" in anticipation of a more interesting place - they say, as soon as it appears, the newly hired employee is right there will leave, and the position will become empty again," Tatyana Bogatel, executive director of the marketing and advertising department of Mercator Holding, expresses her opinion.
