Companies in India are making realistic workloads, no-meeting days, and positive work environments a key priority.
Further, as per the survey findings, 93 percent of the respondents are focusing on how their benefit offerings can better support employee attraction, retention and engagement in 2023.
Additionally, it is seen that companies in India are currently providing support for employees’ mental health and establishing innovations to help address health conditions including 21 percent of them investing in new health and risk protection programs for the organisation.
This is still a matter of concern as another survey by health tech company Loop which surveyed data from over 500 HR leaders in India across industries found that 73 percent of employers don’t cover mental health in their employee health benefits package.
Upskilling the need of the hour
Further, the survey also highlighted that 60 percent of organisations understand the skills and talent development needs of today. Still, only 50 percent of them have clarity on the nature and quantity of skills available for tomorrow.
“2023 will be a defining year as an optimistic and ambitious India looks to drive transformation amidst a BANI (brittle, anxiety-inducing, non-linear and incomprehensible) global environment. HR will have to lead the way in readying itself and the business for what lies ahead," said Shanthi Naresh, partner at Mercer Career India.
124 HR leaders participated in the pulse survey, representing approximately 800,000 employees across technology, auto, manufacturing, professional and financial services sectors.
