In 2021 there were approximately 3.29 billion people employed worldwide.
Mexico is undoubtedly the second largest economy in the Americas.
In 2021, the economically active population in Mexico is around 58 million people.
Having a job is undoubtedly the desire of many people in the world, but that this is the one they dreamed of, with the payment and the ideal environment is something that very few do not obtain. Given this, specialists detail that there are many details for a person to be an ideal employee, as mentioned by some CEOs of large companies.
According to data from FortuneGlobalit is estimated that in 2021 there were approximately 3.29 billion people employed worldwide, up from 2.28 billion in 1991, an increase of about 1.01 billion people.
In that sense, there was a notable drop in global employment between 2019 and 2020, when the number of people employed went from 3.3 billion to 3.19 billion, due to the sudden economic shock caused by the Coronavirus pandemic.
Mexico, the second largest economy in Latin America and also one of the most populous countries in the world, has a large labor force. The economically active population in Mexico is around 58 million people, which is equivalent to approximately 59 percent of the Mexican population. Of economically active Mexicans, about 96 percent have some kind of job or occupation.
According to data from INEGI, during the third quarter of 2020, the number of employed people in Mexico reached approximately 51 million, which represented a drop of around 7.6 percent, compared to what was reported in the third quarter of 2019. During the same quarter of 2021, the figure exceeded 55.8 million.
What is the ideal employee like?
Through an interview with the different directors of the world’s great brands in the program “CEO Show“, indicate that to be the “Employee number 1” must be the “transformative employee”, due to four qualities that influence and transform the business, but also themselves.
According to Robert Sánchez, CEO of the multibillion-dollar transportation and supply chain solutions company Ryder System, performing tasks that no one else wants made him stand out from other co-workers.
“He was always taking on new assignments,” Reiss said in that interview. “I got the reputation of being the ‘problem solver,’ and that was crucial to getting opportunities that allowed me to advance my career,” he added.
For her part, another director such as Lori Fouche, CEO at Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company and at Prudential Group Insurance, also spoke on the radio program about her philosophy, very similar to always choosing the most complicated task.
Another key to being an ideal employee, it is important to learn and use knowledge from other sectors, which is why John Mackey, CEO of the Whole Foods supermarket chain, says that curiosity is a highly valued quality.
“Even if it’s not directly related to his own industry, he says himself: I try to learn from every situation or person I meet,” he said.
Another piece of advice from Bill Roedy, who built MTV International from the ground up, said his training from the United States Military Academy helped him understand how to bring specific small groups together.
“Keep a list of each experience you have had with important clients, to identify what has most impressed you in the meetings. So, he says, one has to ask, “How can I bring this to my current job and industry?” added Roedy.
In that same context, learning to present a problem, yes, but with solutions. According to Robert Reiss, each of the CEOs he has interviewed has experienced this scenario: an employee comes to them to tell them about a problem, but also to ask how to solve it.
“We have this problem, but I’ve been thinking about it, and here’s what I think we can do to fix it. The person who dares with new tasks, learns from other sectors and who practices listening skills, will be the one who solves the different problems that appear first and best. The result of these qualities, he says, is what makes someone a transformative employee,” he explains.
In that sense, the world of work and talent management is always a very important issue for people, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic.
