According to a report released on Thursday, about 20% of workers in the IT industry are unsure of their job security, and 29% experience burnout, which reflects growing concerns among the workforce.

The businesses that are setting the standard for developing vibrant, resilient workplace cultures are highlighted in the Great Place To Work report.


The growing problem of employee burnout, which still affects a sizable percentage of the workforce, is also highlighted in the report. This year, about 29% of IT workers say they have experienced burnout.

However, businesses are making a concerted effort to increase flexibility, encourage participation in decision-making, and provide a better work-life balance.

These companies are seeing positive results. Besides, reducing burnout these are also boosting employee satisfaction, leading to higher retention rates and stronger morale, said the report.

“While the IT sector experienced growth driven by digital transformation, it also faced hurdles such as a global slowdown and rising competition, making these organisations' adaptability and resilience even more commendable. What distinguishes these winning organisations is their unwavering commitment to upholding trust and stability even as the industry landscape undergoes significant transformations,” said Balbir Singh, CEO, Great Place To Work, India.

“Despite the sector-wide challenge in engagement, with burnout affecting 29 per cent of IT employees -- up 3 per cent from last year -- these exemplary workplaces have successfully fostered environments where employees feel heard, valued, and empowered in decision-making processes,” Singh said.
