The Genius HRTech report is based on inputs from 1,255 employees during September 1-30 across sectors, including Information Technology (IT), manufacturing, telecom, retail, finance and BFSI, FMCG and engineering, among others. Further, the report found that 39 per cent of respondents would be more likely to stay with their current employer if offered better management, a healthier workplace culture or greater flexibility.
