'Indian Employees Job Outlook Highest Among Asia Pacific'
In a recent survey conducted by recruitment consultancy firm Michael Page, 63 per cent of India’s employed population seems quite satisfied with the work conditions they are provided with and 76 per cent are optimistic about their job getting better in the next six months.
The ambitious initiatives taken by the Government of India has fostered confidence among the Indian workforce, with a majority of 84 per cent indicating that they foresee a good future economic scenario for the Indian markets in the next six months compared to their Asia-Pacific counterparts with 66 per cent.
The Michael Page Job Applicant Confidence Index Q2 2017 evaluated the responses of 681 senior-level employees in India across organisations and industries. The survey finds out that a majority of Indian professionals rated their overall workplace conditions as “good to excellent”, which includes their present job conditions (63 per cent), future job scenario (76 per cent) as well as current job opportunities, within their area of expertise (51 per cent).
According to the survey, the top three reasons to look for a job in India are:
• 51 per cent: People willing to enhance their skills
• 40 per cent: People who prefer job due for the package
• 34 per cent: People looking for better work conditions
Nicolas Dumoulin, Michael Page India managing director said, “India has consistently outperformed the Asia Pacific region in our Job Applicant Confidence Index. The economy is poised for a robust growth with technological advancements put on the fast track with government initiatives such as ‘Digital India’. These factors will create new positions and career opportunities in emerging sectors such as artificial intelligence, robotics and analytics as well as other industries that are harnessing technology as an enabler of growth.”
