Notwithstanding the pandemic, India’s workforce is optimistic about the future of work, and a significant percentage of professionals are considering changing their jobs this year, according to a report.
LinkedIn, the leading online professional network, on Tuesday launched new job-seeker research, which revealed that 82 per cent of professionals in India are considering a job change in 2022.
Based on the responses of 1,111 professionals in India, the survey showed that professionals are leaving their current jobs due to poor work-life balance, not enough money, or greater career ambitions.
When looking for new roles in the new year, professionals in India said flexible working arrangements will be the top priority.
“The pandemic has spurred people to rethink their careers and look for new job opportunities to meet their renewed purpose and priorities in life.
“As confidence in new opportunities grows, it is evident that the Great Reshuffle in India is clearly being led by job seekers, and talent is in the driver’s seat right now - with flexibility as their no. 1 priority today,” said Ankit Vengurlekar, India Managing Editor, LinkedIn News.
Vengurlekar further said that “our Jobs on the Rise list shows that the demand for tech-savvy talent is growing hotter across the IT, healthcare, and business development sectors”.
LinkedIn’s research further revealed that professionals in India are confident about their job roles, careers, and overall job availability getting better in 2022.
