This information has emerged from an Employee Sentiment Study where it has been observed that 76 per cent of Indian employees are willing to leave their current jobs for better benefits, even if it means giving up the existing perks. Work-life balance and medical facilities are being prioritized more. The impact of inflation and stagnant starting salaries in many sectors are likely the main reasons behind this job-switching trend. The number of individuals under 30 taking personal loans has risen significantly, leading young employees to take their financial future more seriously. Employees are now placing greater emphasis on healthcare benefits. 49 per cent of employees believe that employers should prioritize their mental and physical health. 45 per cent expect support for retirement or long-term savings. 37 per cent emphasize the need to address women's health issues (such as menstruation and menopause). According to the survey, 82 per cent of Indian employees are considering changing jobs within the next 11 months -- 22 per cent higher than the global average. This changing mindset among Indian employees is certainly noteworthy.
