- Three-quarters of participants agree that their international policy must be reviewed to ensure competitive proposition for rotators in the upcoming years.
- Difficult working conditions were recognized as a challenge to talent attraction by close to two-thirds of respondents but only slightly more than one-third indicated that extreme working conditions and difficult schedules can be an obstacle to retaining talent.
- Overtime compensation varies according to whether employees are salaried or paid hourly and according to position level (professional or para-professional).
- In a majority of participants’ organizations, rotators are not entitled to vacation or paid time off.
