'Indian employees are most eager in the world to change jobs in the next six months, a survey by global HR service provider Ma Foi Randstad said.
The 'work monitor' survey shows the extent to which employees are thinking of changing their jobs in the short-term compared with other countries in the world.
"India's mobility index is 140-- the highest in the world-- followed by Mexico, China and Turkey. This index shows that Indians are most open about shifting their jobs in the next six months," the survey said. The lowest employee mobility is seen in Luxembourg, Italy and Hungary.
"We hope the report contributes to enhance understanding of employee sentiments for organisations in India. In addition, this survey over a period of time will guide employers to direct their efforts to align workforce and raise engagement levels to optimise profitability," Ma Foi Randstad managing director K Pandiarajan said. The survey revealed that 80 per cent of the employees in India are open for a different job.
Moreover, employees in the salary bracket of Rs 5-10 lakh are the least mobile in India, while in the US the professionals in junior to mid career (USD 45,000-50,000 salary brackets) levels are the most mobile.' 'Indian workforce most mobile in world: Survey
India today represents the epi-centre of opportunities primarily beacuse of the growing markets and largely un-tapped consumer base. At the same time availability of comparitively cheaper but skilled labour acts as a force-multiplier. But as much this workforce is a potential, it is also a threat because of its enormous mobility. The key is not only to tap into this workforce but to understand them and engage them strongly with the organization. The challenge is same for all the HR leaders and managers in similar emerging markets, which have traditionally equated managing human resource to maintainence functions. Remember, Engagement is key!

The HR managers should look up for the challenge and try to create such a work environment which feels like home to the employees.The employees should be compelled to get bound with the organization i.e the organization should provide them all the necessary requirements and helps regarding work.Even though these days its so difficult to keep your work strength constant but an effort has to be made regarding it and
so HR managers need to think about it in a more better and effective way.
