Despite the current situation due to the global crisis, 53% of CEOs and business leaders are confident that the number of workers and
will remain unchanged in 2022.
Vistage —a global network of CEOs and business owners— and the law firm Vinatea y Toyama released a survey indicating that 29% of all the business leaders surveyed expect the number of workers to increase and 18% of them expect it to decrease.
This reflects optimism regarding the chances of having job stability. Moreover, they do not expect a dramatic reduction in staff.
Additionally, this could also indicate that business leaders may put a halt to new recruitments until the legal landscape is more certain.
"Although the circumstances seem unfavorable, business leaders prefer to address the situation in a positive way," said Ignacio Mealla, CEO at Vistage Peru.
"We know that, in the face of changes in labor regulations, most of them are still not clear about the situation and the actions that they should take to make the corresponding adjustments in accordance with the regulations," he added.
According to Mealla, business leaders reiterate the goal of ensuring that job stability is not affected throughout this year, even if the current crisis continues.
Finally, half of Vistage Peru's general managers and executives stressed the need to create special labor regimes in the economic sectors that are more strategic for Peru, such as mining and agriculture, narrowly followed by the need to reformulate and improve health and pension systems for workers.
