Mumbai:  Working environment is a key factor for retaining employees in the current talent landscape. In the better working environment, Bengaluru emerges as a top with 75% respondents satisfied with their general working conditions as per the Michael Page India’s Job Confidence Index for the first quarter of 2016. 62% of surveyed employees have been satisfied in Mumbai, 62 in Delhi and 58% in Chennai.

The better working environment, great employee rewarding programs and flexible working options offered by the companies in Bengaluru are prime factors for motivating employees. “This is primarily due to Bengaluru’s image as India’s own Silicon Valley. Adoption of global practices such as BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), flexible work hours and mature employee benefits programmes gives Bengaluru a definite edge over the other metro cities”, said Sebastien Hampartzoumian, Senior Managing Director, Michael Page India.

On an overall, 62% of employees in India are satisfied with their working conditions compared to 54% in Asia-Pacific. Further, the report finds a significant majority (73%) of employees expecting a job promotion in the next 12 months in India.
