The economic recession in Mexico, which has left around 2.73 million people unemployed to date, has created a strong sense of commitment among employees, according to a recent labor force survey by Kelly Services, an international human resources firm.
Of the more than 7,000 employees interviewed in the study, 48 percent said the financial downturn had made them more faithful to their job, while 11 percent said it made them less loyal and 41 percent said it made no difference.
Workers in the first group said that training opportunities, active communication with employers and an improved organizational climate had attributed to their responses. Those who said they felt less faithful noted mismanagement and a poor office climate at their places of employment.
Sergio Gómez-Luengo, vice president of Kelly Services in Latin America, said that difficult economic conditions had inspired businesses and groups of directors to build stronger ties and levels of trust among employees.
“This commitment has a high chance of turning into a true advantage, which is relying upon a more devoted and concentrated labor force while the economy recovers,” he said.
The international labor force survey, which interviewed around 134,000 employees worldwide, ranked Mexico second among countries with most committed employees during the economic recession. Puerto Rico took first place, while Danish employees ranked last.
