Anphabe Company's report shows that in the context of many unexpected economic events, "stability" is a factor that becomes more important for workers when entering the working environment. Workers not only seek stability in their work but financial safety is also a key goal for them during times of change.
Not only good income, people working are increasingly concerned about financial safety.
Income is always a basic factor that workers consider when entering the labor market, especially since the fluctuations of the COVID-19 pandemic, the goal of "enough income to live, comfortable and save" has always been in the top 1 career goal that workers are aiming for since 2020.
According to the Anphabe Company's Employer Trends survey, employees are defined as having good financial health when they are able to cover unexpected incidents, can cover important needs and ensure finances to take care of their families.
More specifically, one of the two people working in Gen Z will feel financially comfortable when they can afford their desired lifestyle.
Anphabe Company recorded that only 41% of workers recorded current income that helped them stabilize and meet their core needs, and 38% of workers recorded that they received a suitable salary and could be assured of income in the future. In an unstable personal financial situation, employees are likely to fall into a state of stress, loss of concentration and reduced motivation to work.
Recognizing the impact of finance on employees as well as adapting to the impact of the market, according to a survey from Anphabe with 303 employees, 52% of businesses set "reviewing the overall reward policy and new applications" as a priority activity focusing on human resource orientation in the coming time. The company also paid attention to personalization in optimizing rewards for employees, with 52% of businesses having applied the salary payment method based on individual performance and 41% applying more forms of rewards and being more personalized.
Companies can refer to another form to improve financial safety such as upgrading benefits, typically senior health check-ups and insurance or insurance for relatives. These are also activities that the company can consider to increase financial protection for internal personnel.
Finally, building a working environment with financial safety support not only helps employees feel secure in developing their careers but also promotes long-term commitment, productivity and dedication, bringing parallel benefits to individuals and businesses.
In addition to improvements from businesses, people working also proactively seek new opportunities to increase income in addition to fixed work. According to a survey by Anphabe Company in 2024, more than 60% of employees have two or more sources of income, in which in addition to their main job, more than 50% of their second source of income comes from extra work, investment and self-employment.
