What’s Working™ Around the World
Forty percent of workers
in Argentina – and 61%
of those age 24 and
under – are seriously
considering leaving
their organization.
Overall, 66% say they
have a strong sense of
commitment to their
organization, and 74%
are willing to go beyond
their job requirements
to help their
organization succeed.
Half (50%) say their
benefits meet their
needs, and slightly
more (57%) rate their
overall benefits package
as good. However,
only 44% believe their
benefits are competitive
within their industry,
and fewer (41%) say
their organization gives
themenough information
to make informed
benefit decisions.
Just 46% of employees
in Argentina (50% men,
42% women) say they
are confident they
are doing enough to
financially prepare for
retirement; only 36%
say their organization
is doing enough to help
them prepare. The
youngest employees
(age 16–24) are much
more likely to agree
with both statements.
Base pay is the second
most important value
proposition element in
Argentina, with bonus
or other incentives
at sixth. While 57%
understand how their
pay is determined,
only 44% are satisfied
with base pay and
even fewer (40%) say
their organization
does an adequate
job of matching pay
to performance.
Career advancement
is the most important
value proposition
element in Argentina,
with training
opportunities ranking
third. However, fewer
than half (46%) say their
organization is doing a
good job of developing
its people to their
full potential, and
41% feel promotions
generally go to the most
qualified employees.
While 68% are confident
their organization will
be successful in the
future, only 52% say
their organization is
well managed. About
the same number
(54%) trust senior
management to
always communicate
honestly, and 47% say
management behaviors
are consistent with the
organization’s values.
Type of work ranks
fourth among value
proposition elements,
and 79% are satisfied
with the type of
work they do. Scores
for managers are
lower: 56% say their
department/work
group is well managed,
55% say their manager
does a good job of
setting work objectives,
and 43% say managers
show concern for
employees’ well-being.
Sixty-two percent
say their workload
is reasonable, 69%
say they are able to
maintain a healthy
balance between work
and their personal
life, and 56% say their
organization provides
them the opportunity
to work flexibly. The
latter – a flexible work
schedule – ranks
sixth among value
proposition elements.
Retention an issue; scores low for pay, benefits and careers
• Four in 10 employees seriously considering leaving
• Workers doubt benefits competitiveness, retirement readiness
• Satisfaction low with key elements of value proposition – pay and careers
