The Czechia is an attractive country for work, according to studies
The Czechs received an above-average rating mainly due to a high level of professional and technical skills and a relatively good level of gender equality and opportunities for social mobility. On the other hand, the Czechia should improve, especially in the greater interest in accepting talented workers from abroad, higher tolerance of minorities or streamlining mutual cooperation between companies.
The winning countries are characterized by a quality education system that combines traditional formal education with modern project teaching, and a business environment with appropriate regulation. The countries at the top of the rankings also have in common that they pursue effective employment policies that combine flexibility and a high level of social security.
Within the individual categories, the Czech Republic performed best in its ability to retain talented employees, where it ranked 17th. “The main reason is the high score in security, the high level of the social and pension director and, last but not least, the excellent living, health and hygiene conditions,” commented Ondřej Wysoglad on the results of the Adecco CR study.
The survey also assessed the work attractiveness of 90 selected world cities. Prague ranked 25th, outpacing metropolises such as New York, Berlin, Barcelona, Singapore and Rome. “Due to its strategic location in the middle of Europe and very good transport accessibility, Prague has long been interesting for foreign companies. At the same time, it offers quality living conditions,” said Wysoglad. In addition to Prague, Brno was also included in the survey, which ranked 51st.
The study further illustrated the future of the labor market, which is now driven by rapid technological innovation and characterized by variability, high complexity and uncertainty. Organizations are expected to gradually reduce the number of full-time employees and, conversely, increase the number of freelance employees.
“People will work and live in an environment in which it is normal to have a large number of employers and even several employers at the same time. The next generation of so-called millennials demands high job flexibility. They do not want to be tied to a single employer and prefer to work for more projects at several companies, ”added Wysoglad.
In order to increase competitiveness, the study’s findings recommend that organizations, cities and states deliberately start creating companies and teams made up of diverse personalities with different backgrounds, backgrounds or life experiences. Governments should focus primarily on creating education systems that are affected by social skills and interoperability and stimulate openness and intercultural exchange.
