Between April and May 2016, CDM conducted a study on the development and training needs of employees in private companies in Romania.
The questionnaire was self-administered by respondents through an online public opinion survey program. A total of 273 individuals in decision-making positions (executive directors, HR directors, trainers, project managers, department heads, etc.) from companies in various industries (automotive, pharmaceuticals, commerce, manufacturing, transportation, banking, construction, IT, services, etc.) participated. The structure of the studied population was as follows: 62.6% of respondents were from multinational companies, 23.4% from Romanian companies (13.9% did not answer this question); 44.3% held positions in the HR field, while another 44.3% held roles outside this domain.
The aspects highlighted by respondents as being most important for organizational success were employee motivation (68%) and communication efficiency (66%). Approximately one-third of respondents emphasized the importance of clear work processes, clear priorities, and clarity of roles and expectations.
The skills most frequently mentioned as necessary to develop at the employee level were: leadership skills (79%), communication skills (77%), time management (70%), and project management (69%). On the other hand, skills considered less necessary by company representatives included: sales skills (38%), trainer skills (36%), and remote team management (31%).
The study also explored other dimensions, such as:
- Types of development programs suitable for their companies
- Barriers to accessing development and training programs
- Preferred methods of organizing training programs
- Preferred periods for conducting training programs
