Now we are talking about bonuses, which many employees are thinking about during this period. Some have already received a year-end bonus, even though business did not do well during the pandemic.
Regardless of the amount, people say that the extra money is welcome in gift month, when they have higher expenses and obligations.
“Little things mean a lot” – writes in the mask of this woman, director of human resources in a company with 650 employees. The company managed to increase its Christmas premiums by 10%, even though the business suffered from the pandemic.
Lucia Molniceanu, Human Resources Director Benchmark Electronics Romania SRL: “With respect to previous years, we have not changed anything, we try to stay on the same line, in addition, so that employees feel a little more comfortable and to compensate for personal or professional stress, we managed to give a small amount for Christmas higher than in previous years “.
Adina Lăcustă: “It was an unexpected increase, it was a surprise to all the employees, and I already thought about setting aside the money, because next year I will invest it in an important event that will take place in my life.”
The effects of the crisis are even more visible now, at the end of the year. A survey of business leaders shows that 45% of managers expect a decline in profits by 2020. In the spring, only 10% of them estimated such a result. And yet companies strive to keep employees as affected as possible.
Adina Parghel, Director of HR Preh Romania SRL: „In addition to the usual Christmas bonuses, which we give every year, and the end-of-year bonuses, we also prepare gifts for the employees’ children, and the party that we used to have with everyone, that is 2000 employees, we transform- or into a small surprise ”.
This auto parts factory gave everyone Christmas cash bonuses equally. Even for those who are only a few months old.
Sebastian Olteanu, Production operator: “I was honestly not expecting to receive anything due to the pandemic.”
Cosmina Molan, Production operator: “Who buys fir, who … honestly helped me with the gifts. After a full year, with work, with some stress, at least we also benefited from a prize and enjoyed it.”
Many essential workers have considered that supermarket employees are at risk of getting sick. That is why companies want to show their appreciation.
Loredana Samoilă, Public Relations Manager Kaufland Romania: “Being a challenging year in retail, we value our colleagues and award bonuses worth 25 million lei. We are talking about Easter bonuses, Christmas bonuses, Santa Claus, on June 1, for our 15th anniversary ”.
Lidl also announced that it will double the Christmas bonuses, by 800 lei, for employees who are older than 6 months.
Although they are much more restrained in their statements, the managers of the electric and state companies follow the same line. For example, Romgaz and Electrica have announced that they will take care of their employees.
