by

The assessment that within 2023 is expected to evolve with geometric progress in the Greek labor market the phenomenon that in the middle of a pandemic became internationally known as “The Great Resignation”, expresses speaking to APE-MPE Giannis Stergis, architect of the ecosystem “The Ariston Project (United Kingdom), founder and president of “Hyphen SA” and author of the code “The ariston CODEX”, in view of the creation of a new index, which aims to measure and evaluate the trends in the labor markets initially in Greece and of Cyprus and later of the whole of Europe.

As he says, the wave of the Great Resignationwhich has become very prominent in the last two years in Europe and the USA, with thousands of people to leave “secure” jobs and to change their livelihood, seeking a more creative course, has begun to manifest itself in Greece: object, bringing it closer to more creative pursuits, which give them joy.

This movement reduces them as well cost of living and here we must add more psychological and philosophical approaches, as the emergence of human perishability through pandemic, made people focus more on the value of “here and now”, with more awareness. “This concerns even more the younger generations,” he notes.

The future of work for genuine content makers

Another trend in the labor market is, according to Mr. Stergis, the increasing movement of workers between industries (eg, from tourism to retail): “Clearly, this issue has given birth to the need to develop transferable skills. and interdisciplinarity in skills training. This is a trend that first appeared fifteen years ago, with the onset of the domino financial crisis. A very important trend is also technological unemployment, ie the replacement of human resources by much more productive machines.

THE “Generation Z.(s.s. people born in the mid to late 1990s to early 2010s), has realized that the future of work, which I have been teaching in collaboration with the University of Phoenix since 2012 , in the context of the “Skills 2020” training program – we are already moving on to “Skills 2030” – concerns the producers of authentic content in every context and in all dimensions of economic activity, as any other reproduction can now be undertaken by machines, with minimized margins wrong “he points out.

In terms of teleworking and to what extent they seek it employees and employers, says Mr. Stergis: “For most of the Greek economy, teleworking was presented as a necessary evil. “Whether it offered more to executives or employers has to do clearly with the employer’s culture and whether the definition of productivity has been properly articulated in his business,” he argues, adding that when a person is teleworked, “the structured schedule, the correct measurement of productivity and the possibility of changing environment, offer balance to the employee, and to the company in the medium to long term productive employees “.

As for him new indicator, Mr. Stergis clarifies: “From April and for six months we start a systematic research, in the context of Hyphen’s cooperation with a reputable polling and research company. For two months we address the markets of Greece and Cyprus, the next two months throughout Europe, and the last two months in the ecosystems of multinational giants and the top 10 international universities. The research is conducted with closed-ended digital questionnaires and the answers are evaluated synthetically from both sides of specific dipoles (eg, employee-employer, economy-society, technology-content production, etc.) “he describes.
