The Randstad Award survey looked at salary and employee benefits (48%) which continued to be the top driver among the Indian workforce while choosing an employer, followed by long-term job security (46%), financial health of the company (43%), pleasant working atmosphere (40%) and good work-life balance (38%). However, the importance of salary decreased from last year (6% decrease from 2015).

If you’re looking for a competitive environment which promotes not just work but also life during work, you should head out to the above mentioned companies. While the salaries might not always satisfy you, it is the work environment that keeps the employees engaged.
