BENGALURU: Financial firm Ernst & Young (EY) has finally burst the bubble of why Indians are most wanted work force in the western nations. A survey conducted by EY declared that Indians are ahead of Germans and Japanese in effectively handling work-life balance.

ET reports that on a survey conducted on 9, 700 employees only 34 per cent of Indians found managing work and personal commitments difficult as against the 49 per cent of Germans, 44 per cent of Japanese and 37 percent in UK who had found it difficult to maintain the equilibrium.

The report also covered the top reasons why employees are quitting their work. 78 per cent of the employees expressed that the reason for quitting, is lack of opportunity for advancement, 77 per cent of them say it is due to lack of encouragement for team work and 77 percent say that it is due to excessive overtime hours.

Sandeep Kohli, national director, HR, Ernst & Young did not seem surprised by the results of the survey as he said in his words—"The results are not exactly surprising; it is evident that handling work-life balance is getting more difficult, and parents are being hit the hardest. Attrition rates continue to be high in India, driven by low-wage growth and a lack of options for flexible work.”

However the global scenario over the past five years also didn’t seem encouraging. More and more employees prefer to quit their jobs due to the excessive disparity between the income and expenditure complimented with increasing responsibilities at home.
