A new study conducted by the AllJobs website and the Sarid Research Institute examines and compares for the first time the occupational effects that were the transition between the first wave and the second wave of the corona crisis.

The results compare the two closures (the first wave survey was conducted in April, the second wave survey in October) and include about 800 respondents in April and another 800 respondents in October, registered on the AllJobs website and partners in the labor market in Israel.

Half of the employees do not want to return to their workplace

In the question: "Will you return to the same workplace when the crisis is over?", We see an increase in the rate of those who think that the workplace will not recover as a result of the crisis - 12% in the first wave compared to 18% in the current wave.

At the same time, there is a significant increase in the number of reporters who do not want to return to their jobs at the end of the crisis - a jump from 38% in April to 49% in October.

Many employees seem to be taking advantage of this crisis to “recalculate a trajectory” regarding their careers.

Most employees are not interested in returning

Less challah, more laid off

The most noticeable change arises already in the first question in the survey: "Are you harmed occupationally as a result of the corona crisis?"

The results are unequivocal: the rate of those who report dismissal has increased from 18% to 29%, mainly at the expense of going to the IDF, which has a correspondingly smaller rate of 45% to 35%. To their place of work, they were finally fired after the situation of the workers at their place of work was established and / or the business in which they worked did not return to activity at all.

In both surveys, about 27-29% reported that the scope of their job or salary had not changed.

Einav Boimfeld, AllJobs' director of content and research, explains: "Many companies took out most of their staff in March-April, and after performing an order and streamlining, they returned only some of them.

In the second closure, they expelled another percentage of workers to the IDF, whose return to work is also very slow and gradual. .

About half of the workers will not return

Company stability is becoming a major consideration

To the question "Will you consider moving and working in a more stable company", 65% of the respondents reported that due to the situation created they considered working in a more stable company.

This is compared to the first wave, when the percentage of respondents who responded in the affirmative was 47%.

A significant proportion of respondents (60%) report that their considerations in choosing a workplace will change (compared to 44% in the April survey).

"Wage level" still remains the most significant consideration in choosing a new job: 61% in October, compared to 68% in April.

It was followed by the following options in descending order of importance;

Promotion and growth, stability, proximity to home, atmosphere, accompanying conditions and flexibility in working hours.

The answers indicate the changes that have taken place in employee preferences between the two waves.

For example, the importance of "opportunities for promotion and growth in the company" dropped from 40% in April to 30% in October.

Adi Sarid, a partner at the Sarid Institute, explains: "Wages remain and were number one in importance, however, we witness that in the second wave there is a greater dispersion between the various other aspects that employees consider when examining a new workplace. This finding indicates that the importance of wages has A small part of its place for a variety of other aspects. "

Boimfeld adds: "It seems that the market is maturing in its perception. The desire to work in" enabling "places has been replaced by the desire to work in a stable and well-known workplace. "Those who can survive crises even on the scale of the corona."

Patience is over: trust between employers and their employees has been undermined

The study also sought to examine the relationship between employees and their employers in the wake of the crisis.

To the question "To what extent do you think your workplace is behaving fairly with its employees in the wake of the Corona crisis?"

It can be seen that the rate of employer support dropped from 60% who reported in the first wave that the employer was fair to a very large extent, to 41% in October.

There are several reasons for this perception, one of which is the connection between the employer and the employee who is currently in the Knesset and waiting to return to work.

Sarid: " The employer's difficulties at a certain level of sympathy.

However, as time went on and as the crisis deepened, he began to give his signals even more to the working public.

It is possible that over time the public has begun to change its perspective so that it places more emphasis on personal and family distress and difficulties than on employers' difficulties. "

We see that employers keep in touch with employees less than the previous time: up from 33% who reported not keeping in touch. 43% now.However, the proportion of employees who report having spoken to them in person has not changed significantly and there is even a slight increase, as part of the statistical error from 32% to 36%

.The

rest of the respondents report contact via emails and corporate and non-personal messages.

"Trust between employers and their employees is beginning to falter.

Things that were received with understanding in the first wave, are no longer accepted humbly now.

"Employees feel that this time the organizations had enough time to get organized and prepare themselves, and since most of them have already settled on a vital workforce - the harm to those who remain should be smaller."

A big drop in trust

While in April there was a significant difference between the volume of women who went to the hospital compared to men - 53% among women compared to 39% among men, in October we see that the number of women who went to hospital was balanced and similar between women and men - 37%.

The scope of dismissal increased and the gap between men and women changed between April and October.

In addition, in April, the consideration of moving to work in a more stable society was similar between women and men and stood at 46% -48% respectively.

In October, we are witnessing a strengthening of this trend, and even more so in men, 61% in women compared to 68% in men.

In general, it can be said that the rate of reporting a change in the set of considerations for choosing a workplace is similar between women and men.

So too is the perception of the degree of fairness of the employer similar among women and men.

Another interesting figure is rising in the young age groups, up to 35. In these groups it is evident that the consideration of working in a company vital to the economy rises from about 7% in April to about 16% in October.

These age groups, which are characterized by young couples and parents of young children, prefer stability and employment and economic security throughout the changes in the labor market over the past year and instability in many areas of the economy, with an emphasis on tourism, aviation, culture and restaurants.
