Companies in the energy sector are facing a challenging scenario regarding talent retention. According to a survey by Fesa Group, the average turnover rate of professionals in corporations in the sector reached 16,6% in 2024 — a higher number than that recorded in 2023, which was 14%.

The study revealed that the most affected segments are: distributed generation (27,8% of turnover), marketing (22,6%), centralized generation (17,7%) and technical consultancy (17,4%). 

Although the market remains buoyant, the shortage of qualified professionals remains a bottleneck for the sustainable growth of companies in the sector, especially in areas such as projects, technology and management.

According to the survey, this has led many companies to face not only difficulties in filling strategic positions, but also losses related to productivity.

Another point of attention identified by the research is the combination of frequent absences and presenteeism — a situation in which the employee is physically present, but with performance below expectations.

The main causes involve emotional overload and mental health problems, which reinforces the importance of actions aimed at well-being in the corporate environment.

On the other hand, Fesa Group highlights that companies with policies of valuing and recognizing professionals – associated with emotional health programs and balance between personal and personal life – day - are those that manage to engage their talents more and reduce the impacts of turnover on their businesses.
