The trend of employees resigning in big numbers has continued over the past two years. The report stated that the trend will continue in the coming years. Employers in India will see more resignations in 2022.

Why is work-life balance important in 2022?
Flexibility is considered the most important part of a career for millennials and Gen Z. Flexibility means that they have a wide variety of options, including the option of working from home, workcation, working from the office, or working at flexible hours. They don’t want to feel stressed out and under pressure because of work.
According to the MTV “No Collar Workers” study, millennials rather be unemployed than work at a job they hate. If their work-life balance is steady, they will be much happier at work. A perfect work-life balance also improves the relationship between employers and employees.
