It might sound surprising, but most of younger employees are keen on overseas jobs even if they are not getting a pay hike, a survey said.
HR services provider Ma Foi Randstad has said that a significant larger proportion of employees with higher education level -- about 60% of those surveyed -- are willing to move abroad for a better suited job even if the salary remains the same.
"Majority of younger employees are keen on seeking jobs abroad, even if they do not get a pay increase as compared to those in higher age groups," the report said.
About 39% of employees with low education level would move abroad just for a better suited job that does not accompany a pay hike.
"A significantly higher proportion of men [79%] expect to go abroad for work that promises higher pay as compared to women [65%]," the survey said.
Ma Foi Randstad MD & CEO E Balaji said that attracting and retaining right talent would be the biggest challenge for any organisation in the coming years.
"The burgeoning opportunities have created a major change in the mindsets of the young employees.
"While money is an important driver for Gen Y, they are also driven by work place flexibility, right culture, challenging work roles, career growth opportunities and bosses with inspirational approach towards work," Balaji noted.
About 400 to 500 employees in India were surveyed.
