As a partner in the performance of organizations and their leaders, the HR consulting and services group Grant Alexander shares the results of an exclusive study aimed at assessing the relationship of French private-sector employees to negotiation during their annual review.
Although they feel that they can openly express their wishes and doubts regarding their future in the company (76%, especially men \u2013 80%) and that most of them can count on their direct manager to support their requests (63%), respondents acknowledge having doubts about being heard by management. Only one in two employees trusts their company to respond favorably to their requests (48%). And for good reason: one in two employees states that the requests they intend to make this year are only a repetition of their unsatisfied requests from past years (50%).
Skeptical about their company\u2019s ability to listen, respondents say they are ready to make radical decisions if they are not heard. Nearly one in two employees says they could resign if their superiors refused their requests (52%), notably because \u201cthe grass is greener elsewhere\u201d for more than six out of ten employees. Indeed, 61% of them feel they could obtain what they want in competing companies compared to the one they currently work for.
In this context, and after a first wave observed last summer, a significant number of resignations could be expected in the coming months if company leaders do not respond to the expectations of their employees. However, 63% of French employees feel that their company does not want them to resign. In this sense, they may be in a position of strength and therefore have a card to play in the framework of their future negotiations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
