Venice – In the North, companies are ‘stealing’ their best employees and to curb the phenomenon, the CGIA notes, SMEs are increasing corporate well-being. In Lombardy the quality of work and, consequently, corporate well-being is at the top. Followed by the Province of Bolzano and Veneto; and then the Province of Trento, Piedmont and Valle d’Aosta. Bad in the South with the exception of Sardinia. At the bottom of the ranking are Sicily, Calabria and Basilicata. After the pandemic, the job market has undergone transformations. In many areas of the country, companies struggle to find profiles with adequate skills; therefore, higher salaries, transformation of fixed-term contracts into indefinite periods, the possibility of allowing employees to work more flexible working hours and the use of more innovative professional tools, encouraging career advancement and the implementation of benefits, increase the loyalty of collaborators and corporate welfare. Despite this, the escape from the permanent job continues. For the INPS, the voluntary resignations of permanent private employees under 60 years of age are on the rise: in 2022 there were 1,047,000 and, compared to 2019 (pre-Covid year), they grew by 236 thousand units (+29% ).
16.1% in Sicily, 17.6% in Puglia and 19% in Calabria are the highest regional incidences of employees who declared in 2020 to have received low pay compared to the amount and quality of work performed. The lowest threshold is in the Province of Trento (6.1%). As regards the over-educated employed – i.e. those who in 2023 believed they had a higher educational qualification than the one best possessed to carry out that profession out of the total employed – the threshold is close to 30% in the Centre, with peaks of 32.7% in Umbria, 33.2% in Basilicata and 33.5% in Molise against 16.3% in the Province of Bolzano. In terms of the number of temporary workers – i.e. the percentage of employed people with fixed-term jobs for at least 5 years – the most critical situations in 2023 were in Calabria (25.5%), Basilicata (25.7%) and Sicily (27, 9%) versus 10.7% in Lombardy. With regard to fatal accidents and those that caused permanent disability in 2022 for every 10 thousand employed, Abruzzo (14.7%), Basilicata (16.%) and Umbria (16.7%) lead. The most virtuous is Lombardy (7.4%). Irregular work is present above all in the South, with peaks of 16% per 100 employed in Sicily, 16.5% in Campania and 19.6% in Calabria. The lowest level is in the Province of Bolzano with 7.9%. Satisfaction with one’s job – i.e. satisfaction with the level of remuneration obtained, the hours worked, the stability of the job, the career opportunities, the distance between home and work, etc. – reaches the highest point of 61.7% in Valle d’Aosta. Followed by the province of Trento (61.1%) and the province of Bolzano (60.5%). The lowest level in Campania (41.2%). In Italy practically one employee in two is not satisfied with the job he or she does (48.3% of the total). The fear of losing one’s job is widespread especially in the South. The most critical situations in Calabria (5.9%), Sicily (6.4%) and Basilicata (8.8%). The most “serene”, however, are the workers in the Province of Bolzano (2.4%). In the involuntary part time present for every 100 employed people, i.e. those who in 2023 declared they had been hired with a part time contract, because they did not find a full time one, the most critical situations are in Molise (13.8 %), in Sardinia (14.7) and in Sicily (14.8%) against 3.8% in the Province of Bolzano
