Dear all,
A new survey report on job security has been published in today's Indian Express. It is attached to this post.
Job security is a foundation upon which employees' motivation rests. If employees are doubtful of the foundation itself, or if a fear of job loss lurks in the back of their minds, it could be causing them stress.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought to light the issue of employees' mental health. HR professionals are taking steps to improve mental well-being. In this case, the first step would be to enhance the sense of job security in employees' minds.
Thanks,

Given some of the posts we read here on CiteHR every day, why would we be surprised that people worry about their job security.
But not all of the blame can be attributed to poor management practices and bad bosses. The world is in a state of flux at the moment with inflation, the Ukraine war, global supply chain problems, etc., and we are not adapting fast enough to cope with this new order.

Dear Mr. Dinesh,
Yes, the role of the HR team is very crucial at this juncture. However, to instill confidence in employees regarding job security, they must first be confident in their own employment. In India, particularly in the private sector, mid-level companies often view HR as a non-revenue-generating aspect of the business or simply as overhead. Whether or not most of us agree, this is the bitter truth. In such a scenario, during business slowdowns, when an employer plans for an overall workforce reduction, they typically initiate the process with HR. When the hiring process is put on hold, the HR executives responsible for recruitment are usually the first targets, followed by other members of the operational team. The surplus of available manpower resources in the market reinforces their decisions. Even if the HR head raises concerns, management tends to emphasize the importance of multitasking.
In conclusion, HR professionals should feel secure in their own employment before advocating job security to others.

Yes, job security as well as Gen Z expectations are leading to all the mess up. I believe I may be wrong; however, with the little experience that I have, I have seen that either a young boss in an old company or a young employee in a large old company with senior leaders have the same response - immediate benefits. This is leading to a lot of uncertainty both ways. The impact of the Internet of Things (IoT) has messed up the minds of almost everyone. The time to process and utilize information remains the same. IoT has reduced the time of response and made minds less informative as most of the desired information is readily available and does not require any hard work or brain-racking. This has psychologically impacted many of the youth of today. Information is immediate, services are immediate, hence they want immediate results and growth. Please decipher the meaning of this hurriedly written response!
