Most Indians Prefer for Profile than Pay slip: Study

More than 60 per cent of people in India are ready to accept cuts in salaries and job positions if they are given something more meaningful in terms of work profile, a new survey has found.

The international workforce survey conducted by human resources firm Kelly Services also showed that 94 per cent of Indian workers derive a "greater sense of pride" from their jobs than those in other countries.

The Kelly Global Workforce Index survey sought the views of nearly 1,00,000 people in 34 countries including 3,500 in India.

"Ninety four per cent of people in India say their work gives them a sense of pride and 92 per cent say it raises their self confidence. In addition, 62 per cent of people in India will forego income or status to do something more meaningful," Kelly Services said in a statement.

"A significant number of people are actually prepared to give up some of their salary and their position if they can do something that is important and (meaningful) to them and their organisation," said Dhirendra Shantilal, Senior Vice-President (APAC) at Kelly Services.

However, in India, 33 per cent of people in the age group of 30 to 47 years (Gen X) said that their career goals are not being advanced in their current jobs.
