The rapidly changing workplace landscape is being shaped by emerging technologies like automation and GenAI. According to a recent Deloitte survey, career progression and learning opportunities are top priorities for India's young workforce, especially Gen Zs and millennials.
The survey highlights that 85% of these young professionals are engaged in weekly upskilling, emphasizing a shift towards on-the-job learning. Significantly, there remains a notable mentorship gap, as many seek guidance but fewer receive it, the survey found.
Moreover, there is growing skepticism about formal education's value, with over 94% of Gen Zs and 97% of millennials favoring hands-on experience over theoretical knowledge. This shift calls for organizations to focus on employee well-being and growth-centric cultures.
