Survey reveals Romania job security shift

A survey by Genesis Property finds that job security in Romania is increasingly tied to adaptability rather than employment stability alone. More than 60% of employees say their current role provides stability without sufficient development opportunities, or leaves them feeling stuck, while only 14% feel fully secure and confident about their career prospects. Half describe themselves as relatively secure but watching their company and market closely. The survey was conducted online in July among 1,026 internet users across Romania.
