Job Security, the Top Priority to Attract Indian Employees

But this was not the case in other nations, as in China and Japan; job security gained the fifth slot in the employees’ priority and in Hong Kong and Singapore they gave job security the second slot. But in Indonesia, job security was not even there in any of the top five priorities.  

The Global Workforce Study surveyed around 1,000 respondents in India, where majority of the respondents were below 30 years of age working in mid-management level or above in the corporate organizations.

So, other than job security as the top priority, the other four priority attracting Indian employees included career progression, Base Salary, Learning and Development opportunities and reputation of the company as a place of work.

The survey also figured out, stress, balance as well as the workload was the most important aspect that was influencing sustainable engagement of Indian employees. In that survey, over 50 percent of them who were surveyed, were bothered about excessive pressure on the job, while 57 percent reported that they were working more than their normal working hours. At the same time, 40 percent reported that their leaders might not be taking any active interest in addressing the employees stress level, while the similar percentage of the employees believed they didn’t have a very healthy working atmosphere.
