What do you think attracts the most employees when they get an opertunity
of working abroad. Money? That's what most of the people think... And difficult to not consider it as a factor for young generation of employees. But when an employee is of mid-senior to senior designation then is it still the money?? Most of you might think that's right but it's not.
They go out for better job recognition. which is lot harder in india as the management and employer's still feel they own their employees. There is lack of appreciation, favouritism
and no mentoring. Unless you are in a multinational company( not Indian MNC) or have a non-indian boss.
So now we see two perspective of leaving India for work.
Now, if we take it from Maslow's point of view then the fresh employees are mainly focusing on basic needs and the mid and senior people are looking up for the physiological & self-fulfilment needs.
A newly done study points out that alot of Indian employees are taking voluntary retirement which in economic statastic means becoming part of the unemployment line.
For which one of the main reason maybe to full-fill their other two needs. As in everyone's life there is a time when
it's not just about the money.
If your population of working class is mainly youngsters then sure you will earn load of money but when they will start leaving your country then you will have more unemployed matures.
So basically the point I am trying to convey here is that "Indian employer's should start working towards fulfilling employees physiological & self-fulfilment needs along with the basic necessities ( for which there is money)"
& "The government should start looking towards employees benefits not just from money point of view but from other aspects too"
I am working towards writing more around this subject and in little more detail with facts and figures. You are always welcome to share anything which you feel will help to complete my writing.
I am also researching over the benifts the Indian employees get when they go abroad from the point of everything else than money. Somewhere around the
line of:
Who is protecting Indian in US/UK/Abroad does your company sign a protection certificate before they send you abroad. Are you totally covered. How secure are you when you are abroad. Will share my findings soon.
