Amid improving economic conditions, Indian employees' confidence in the future of their companies rose significantly in the second quarter of the year, though the rise is less than in Brazil, Russia, and China, a study says.
According to the employee confidence study by global HR solutions provider Kenexa, employees from 12 countries surveyed reported an increase in employee confidence scores and became more positive in the second quarter of 2009.
"While most countries improved in the second quarter over the first, we saw especially strong gains in Russia, Germany, France and India. The countries with the smallest gains were Japan, Spain, Canada and the UK," global HR solutions provider Kenexa Principal Jeffrey Saltzman said.
Global employee confidence, which is a quarterly measure of the degree of confidence employees have in their employers' marketplace competitiveness and their own careers, was 98.9 for June quarter this year.
The country-wise employee confidence index score for India was 99.6, while Brazil, Russia and China were among the countries in the survey recording the highest levels of employee confidence for the second quarter.
The employee confidence index level for Brazil was 107.2, China (102.3) and Russia (100.9), the study said.
