Propuesta de actualización de la escala salarial para mejorar el bienestar laboral y la retención de talento humano en una empresa de firma legal de la ciudad de Guayaquil.

Abstract

This research was conducted with the aim of proposing an update to the salary scale in a Legal Advisory Firm located in Guayaquil, to enhance employee well-being and retention. A mixed-methods approach was employed, analyzing both qualitative and quantitative data through surveys, exit interviews, and document analysis. The sample comprised 18 individuals, most of whom have four or more years of work experience. The results, following the application of the aforementioned research tools, indicated that the lack of adjustment in salary compensation has led to job dissatisfaction, increased staff turnover, and negatively impacted employees’ perception of workplace well-being. Additionally, it was found that employees’ decisions to seek new job opportunities are influenced by workload and the absence of additional benefits. Therefore, it is proposed to update the salary scale to boost job motivation, reduce staff turnover, and improve workplace well-being. It is also recommended to offer additional benefits and develop strategies to balance the workload in line with employees’ expectations.
