Trust

Comparing the results obtained by the Randstad Workmonitor for this quarter with those of 2016, when the same questions were answered for the respondents, we can see that the level of confidence of the workers in their skills shows a downward trend in general. That is to say that in 2016, the general values ​​- global, regional and Argentine – were slightly higher than those obtained in 2019.

"This evolution of trust is understandable given that a few years ago, digitization was always looking towards the future and therefore the specific demands on workers were less stringent"said Andrea Avila, Randstad's CEO for Argentina and Uruguay.

He added: "Today, digitization is already part of the challenges of the present, and as a result, the demands for new skills and technical knowledge have increased, which has made workers feel a little less confident. that in 2016 ".

In conclusion, on the challenges presented by workplace digitization, Randstad Workmonitor also found that more than half of the Argentinian workers consulted (57%) felt that their employer currently had difficulty finding the right talent and 53% felt that that this gap will be even more critical in the near future.
