Now private sector employees are leaving their jobs!
A recent survey by Randstad india has seen a big change in the priorities of the indian work force.

Apart from this, 60 percent of employees said that if their relationship with their manager is not good, they can leave the job.
Flexibility is now the baseline expectation
According to the survey, traditional reasons like salary are now being left behind. Employees are now giving more importance to workplace flexibility, learning and development opportunities (L&D) and an inclusive culture at the workplace. According to the New indian Express report, Randstad india MD and CEO Vishwanath PS said, "Flexibility is no longer a benefit, but has become the baseline expectation of employees of all age groups."
New priorities of employees
The survey revealed that employees are now giving more importance to work that matches their personal values and life goals than just salary. Factors like job security, mental health support and work-life balance now matter more. Salary has now slipped to fourth place in terms of importance.
Office culture and learning opportunities
According to the survey, 69 percent of indian employees prefer an inclusive culture at the workplace. At the same time, 67 percent of employees said that if there are no learning and development opportunities in their job, they will leave it. indian employees are also very interested in AI training. 43 percent of indian employees described AI training as the most important L&D opportunity, while globally this figure is only 23 percent.
Demand for flexible working hours
Employees of all generations in india are more conscious about flexible working hours than the global average. Flexible working hours are most in demand among Gen Z (62%) and millennials (66%). For Gen Z, maintaining a work-life balance is important due to long commutes and work pressure in the digital-first job market. Millennials, on the other hand, want flexibility to balance work with childcare and household responsibilities.
