According to the latest Employment Outlook Survey conducted by Manpower Group, the pace of hiring will be quite active in January-March. It states that once data is adjusted to allow seasonal variation, employers report an outlook of more than 22 percent.
This survey was conducted among over 4,500 employers across India and varied industries. It also mentioned that job opportunities for job seekers would be a bit stronger as compared to the previous quarter.
The Group MD of Manpower Group India, AG Rao said that as Indian economy continues to be on the right course of growth, the job outlook is positive. Though market volatilities are still there, India’s macroeconomic fundamentals have enhanced due to focus on initiatives regarding skill development, job creation and ease of doing business.
Rao also said that job market is reaping the benefits of government’s measures aimed at stabilizing, sustaining and promoting economic growth continually. Measures are also being initiated to encourage industries to expand operations. Hiring sentiments are positive across seven sectors but the leaders in this regard are manufacturing, mining & construction, utilities, and transport sectors. The services sector is leading the chart when it comes to strongest net employment outlook as its more than 27 percent.
Talking about the kind of employees in demand, Rao said that employees who are able to learn new skills or are eager to re-skill themselves quickly are the most sought ones. So, all job seekers not only fresh graduates should have the desire and ability to learn new skills as it will ensure they stay relevant and hold onto their jobs. Another key challenge is to stay ahead and deal with factors like growing competition levels and continual demographical shifts. Reference :- http://buildyourorg.com/News
