Dear All,
The recent trends have shown that once called job hopping is now job shopping with more and more people even testing waters with new employers and leaving within a week or more for something new.
Accepting job offers, not joining , not informing...what is the take or view of the HR managers / community / employers on this recent trend?

Dear Yogesh,
I recently attended seminar on Employee engagement and retention. We all were shown the recent trends of the job market which said that a lot of new job opportunities were emerging but the flip side to the coin was that employees are jumping from company to company at a faster pace. In my opinion the recruitment process needs to be strengthened and one really has to scrutinize the candidate before taking him on. This trend of shift is seen majorly in the young generation that is freshly out in the market (i.e within 2-4 years of the start of their career) and the main reason is that they are confused and don't really know what direction to take as far as their career is concern..They are looking for either money or power or both but they cant really pin-point.It is here where we come in and try and identify round peg for a round hole...

Dear Yogesh & Sunaina,
Let us not talk anbout the focus and determination of the younger generation. They are more conscious of there needs and aspirations. As long as there exist the huge disparity in pay in the Industry, professionals are going by the saying " Make hay while the Sun Shine."
All the so called Big Gurus who speak on how bad the job hoppers are and employees are disloyal, I will tell you this that they are the first one to go for downsizing without thinking about the employees to suit their needs and I have seen them employing all types of employee exploitative measures to reduce their costs.
So, it is both ways. When it is at recession the employees suffer and at the time of boom employees make hay, following the economic principle of demand and supply.

Hi ,
Its very true, what Swastik has mentioned that this generation next is more aware of their needs and requirements.
We have a director in our company, in US. He is an IITian and an MBA from Stanford with many other degrees, he is around 37 years of age, he is very clear on his next change and very clearly states in front of all the bosess that he will stay till 2-3 years and then go for the better option available.
For many, there is nothing called Loyalty.
It is a very serious issue, which is botherig many industries.
I have written something related to this, I'll surely post it here by tomorrow.
Cheers

Dear Swastik,
I did not mean to generalize..rather its really interesting as I was just taking a exit interview and trying to figure out why the employee was leaving and he had a couple of offers in hand and all he told me was mam I am very confused which one to choose?
The demand and supply markets remain and company loyalty is a separate thing. Coz when am hiring I am trying to look at a person who will be able to move along with the needs of the organization as well.
I guess perceptions and experience play an important role here.

Dear Swastik,
Thats what I said is experience and peceptions...in my previous organization we gave employees 10% more than they asked for..but in the first organization, with which I started my career, they gave 15% lower than what the employee asked for....and the attrition was lower where employees got 10% more than there demands....but in my first org, they wanted a better and richer profile if they could get...I guess industries were different so parameters also became different.
