Krympress reports:

Every second working resident of Crimea believes that mass dismissal of ineffective employees can provoke valuable personnel departure. Survey Superjob He showed that 33% of respondents are sure: such dismissal reduces performance, since new employees do not always turn out to be better than the same. However, 24% of respondents see this a positive effect: the departure of weak links improves the microclimate and motivation of the team. The study was attended by employed representatives of the economically active population from Crimea.

At the beginning of the year, the media discussed news about the dismissal of personnel in large companies. Employers’ surveys show that business does not plan mass reductions, but the optimization of numbers is carried out, companies get rid of ineffective employees and projects that have not justified costs.

How do residents of Crimea relate to the practice of dismissal of unauthorized personnel by employers? Every fifth is sure that the departure of such employees has a positive effect on the quality of the work of the whole team: “Automation is accelerated”; «No one bothers to work.» Another 20% believe that this does not affect the general result. 33% of respondents are convinced that mass dismissals reduce performance and quality of work, and superprofi does not always come to replace employees ineffective: “New employees are rarely more effective than dismissed.”

Every fourth resident of the Crimea believes that parting with ineffective employees heals a microclimate in the team: “Ineffective employees reduce the motivation of effective”; «The remaining employees will try to work better.» 14% do not see the connection between the dismissal of the weak links of the team and the relations between the remaining colleagues. 35% of the inhabitants of Crimea believe that mass dismissals worsen the atmosphere in the team: «There is a feeling that the company’s things are going well.» In groups there are doubts about the objectivity of the evaluation criteria: «Who and how determines, who is ineffective?» — 1 out of 2 workers cannot decide on the attitude to the policy of their company in the field of personnel assessment.

Mass dismissal of ineffective employees in order to increase productivity do not always give the expected result.

Women are more often worried about the negative consequences of mass dismissals for the atmosphere in the team, while men more often predict a decrease in labor productivity and quality of work, as well as the mass executive of the team.

Residents of Crimea with a salary of 50 to 100 thousand rubles warn of the negative results of optimizing numbers more often than those who earn less, and those who make more. Citizens with an income of up to 50 thousand rubles a month are most loyal to the practice of dismissal of ineffective team members: judging by the comments, they are sure that the redistribution of the load will lead to an increase in the salary of the remaining employees.
