HR Benchmarking Results 2024

Effective team management: managing large teams

Managers in the automotive and manufacturing industries lead teams of up to 22 people. This requires a high level of organisation and management skills. Larger teams present both a challenge and an opportunity to improve management and effectiveness in the workplace.

Staff turnover: a challenge for the automotive sector

The automotive industry faces the highest staff turnover (16.14%). This results in higher recruitment and training costs and emphasizes the need to retain key talent. On the other hand, the energy sector has the lowest staff turnover (2.33%), which indicates a more stable work environment.

Benefit expenditures: investment in employee satisfaction

On average, companies spend €983 on benefits per employee, including healthcare, recreation, and flexible benefits. These investments increase employee satisfaction and retention, especially in competitive sectors, where benefits can be the decisive factor for retaining key talent.
