Barón Zermeño added that the remaining seven percent of workers who decides to leave the job for which they were hired is not because they lose interest in the area in which they work, but there is also a dynamic similar to talent theftin which other companies make counter offers for the featured workers, offering even higher salaries than they originally received.
The deputy director of Sefoet stressed the importance of the English Agenda promoted by the government of Yucatan to better prepare local human capital, before the establishment of foreign companies in the entity, which not only provide services in Mexico, but remotely to countries such as the United States, Canada, Colombia and Brazil.
