According to a study published on Wednesday, 56 percent of surveyed employees would like to inform their co-workers about their departure from work themselves. 60 percent would be involved in passing on their duties to their successor during the notice period, it was reported.
As reported in the press release describing the study commissioned by Pracuj.pl, the majority, 70% of respondents, would like to maintain good relations with their colleagues during the notice period, and 53% of people would be willing to share their opinion on working conditions with a future employer if asked.
At the same time, 69% of respondents declared that they were familiar with the formalities related to leaving work. The same percentage was aware of the rights an employee is entitled to after employment ends. As reported, people aged 35-44 and 45-54 are the most familiar with the formalities – 72% of people from both groups know them.
“Parting ways with an employer is not just a formality, but an important stage in building or losing relationships in a professional environment. More and more employees are realizing that the way they part ways with a company can have an impact on their professional future – both in terms of their network of contacts and their reputation on the job market,” said Jolanta Lewandowska-Bitkowska from Pracuj.pl, quoted in the release.
57% of survey participants agreed with the statement that the way they leave a company can impact their professional reputation.
Some employees would like to use the moment of leaving work to share their opinion on the functioning of the company with the employer itself. The willingness to take part in a conversation that would allow them to express their opinion on the organizational culture of the employer was declared by 40% of employees – most often people aged 25-34 and 35-44 – 44 and 42% respectively, while employees aged 55-65 were less likely – 32% of people.
The study was conducted in December 2024 by ARC Rynek i Opinia. The CAWI measurement was performed on a sample of 2,059 Poles aged 18-65. (PAP)
