İŞVEREN MARKASI STRATEJİSİ İZLEYEN ÇOKULUSLU İŞLETMELERDE ÜCRET VE ÖDÜLLER: FORTUNE100 ÖRNEĞİ

Abstract

Çokuluslu işletmeler, işgücü piyasasındaki en nitelikli adaylar tarafından tercih edilebilmek için işveren markası stratejisini izlemektedirler. Bu stratejinin bir parçası olarak ücret ve yan haklar paketleri, hem adaylara cazip gelebilmek hem de çalışanları elde tutmak için etkili bir araç olarak kullanılmaktadır. Her yıl dünyanın en çok tercih edilen işverenlerini belirlemek üzere yapılan araştırmalar işveren markası anlayışına yön vermektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı 2020 yılı “Fortune100 En İyi İşyerleri Raporu”nda yer alan 100 çokuluslu işletmenin ücret ve yan haklar paketlerinin incelenmesidir. Bu amaçla, çokuluslu işletmelerin kurumsal internet sitelerinde ücret ve yan haklar paketleri ile ilgili açıklamalar, belge incelemesi yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. İçerik analizi sonucunda altı tema oluşturulmuştur. Araştırmanın bulguları, çokuluslu işletmelerde en fazla sunulan faydaların sağlık sigortası, ücretli izin, kariyer gelişimi olanakları, finansal faydalar ve ebeveynlik izinleri olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, Türkiye’deki işletmelerin birer işveren markası olma sürecinde çalışanlara sunacağı ödül paketlerinin oluşturulmasında bilgi sağlayıcı olabilir.
