50 percent mid-level execs may jump at the next offer
New Delhi: Half the India's mid-management would jump at the next offer that comes their way, though they may not be looking out and nearly 15 percent of India's middle managers are disenchanted at work, according to a study. These are some of the findings of the recently-concluded Towers Watson 2010 Global Workforce Study, which the consultancy shared with Economic Times. The seething discontent in the mid-ranks is in stark contrast to India's relatively better standing globally post-downturn, reports Moinak Mitra of ET. The study finds that the 'middle' men put their mouths where the money is - better compensation, skill upgrade, higher status and a perch in the senior leadership team - in that order, particularly after the downturn. For India, the data assumes significance as over 3,000 of the 25,000 respondents belonged to the country. The study examined the November 2009 to January 2010 period and covered a majority of male candidates in the 25-35 age bracket with an average work experience of five years or less in middle management. "The 25-35 age group constitutes a majority of the Indian workforce and it is the middle management that defines the level of engagement in India," says Towers Watson India MD Dhritiman Chakrabarti.
