Employers try to prevent job-hopping
22/1/2003 16:01


Local enterprises are pulling out the stops to prevent their employees from job-hopping once they've collected their year-end bonus, the Shanghai Morning Post reported today.

Many employees pick this season to change jobs, and most are after higher titles, better pay, and improved interpersonal relationships, said Zhao Liming, vice general manager of the Shanghai Foreign Service Corporation Limited (SFSC) branch.

The first two factors are directly in the hands of employers, Zhao noted.

Some firms are offering staff training programs, such as paid study abroad and visits to foreign headquarters. Others are offering year-end raises or stock options.

Some are tackling the third factor by organizing gatherings for employees and their families intended to enhance relationships.
