Q3/ 2011 vs. Q2/ 2011


Overview

HR BUDGETS

Slight
decrease

HR logistics activities

Recruitment budgets

Leasing

Lower budget

Lower budgets due to 2 possible causes:

Lower collaboration with


external consultants

In house recruitment (use internal sources)

Part of the companies


renounced to hiring personnel
through leasing

Lower intensity (recruit, but fewer


employees)

Fewer Entry level positions


occupied in this way

Q3/ 2011
Key Findings
HR Strategy
This was a third quarter focused on trainings and performance management programs: more companies with budgets for
learning and development and more companies which make performance management in comparison with the same quarter in

2010.
Recruiting passed in a secondary plan. It is still the activity performed by most of the companies, but it is either made with a
lower intensity (companies still recruit, but less) or they perform this activity internally, as the budget dedicated to this activity
lowered compared to the previous quarter.
The budget for specific HR logistics was lower. Additionally, almost half of the companies did not cooperate with external
consultants for this type of activities, while none of them increased cooperation with external consultants.
Overall, HR budgets are slightly decreasing in Q3/ 2011, in comparison to Q2/ 2011.

Performance Management
As compared to Q3/ 2010, the number of companies which do performance management activities increased.
Fewer companies include formal meetings with the management and other financial benefits (e.g. bonuses) among their
retention techniques than in Q2/ 2011. Compared to last year, however, promotions become more popular, almost half of the
companies using this method.

Page 6

Q3/ 2011
Key Findings
Learning and Development
More companies had a dedicated budget for trainings in Q3/ 2011 then in Q3/ 2010. Moreover, the usage of external funds for
financing learning and development activities has increased since last year.
For 6 out of 10 companies, the average amount spent for learning and development per employee was less than 200 Euro.
Half of the companies succeeded to spent the entire allocated budget.
Internal and external training remain the most popular methods used for the development of the employees, but this quarter
we see a clearer differentiation between the focus on hard and soft skills. Companies seek to develop the communication and
other soft skills to a higher extent, while fewer focus on the technical skills.
The usage of coaching and mentoring programs for the development of Senior and Middle level employees is increasing in Q3/
2011, compared to the same quarter in 2010. At the same time, companies use to a lower extent training on the job for these
positions. Also fewer companies offer e-learning programs to Middle level employees, in Q3/ 2011 then in Q3/ 2010.
In comparison with last year, companies tend to train Specialists and Entry level employees on the job to a higher extent.
Also, more companies choose to offer classical trainings for Entry level positions, as their number increased since Q3/2010, up to
half of the companies.
In the choice of the external consultants used for learning and development, price is gaining importance.

Page 7

Q3/ 2011
Key Findings
Recruitment and Selection
There is a significant difference between the number of companies which hired employees in leasing system in Q2/ 2011 and
those which used this alternative for hiring personnel in Q3/ 2011. In Q3 their number decreased from 4 out of 10 companies to
2 out of 10. The drop comes from a lower hiring of Entry level staff through this method.
Specialists recruiting through job fairs increased since Q2/ 2011, more companies using this source for external recruiting.
