Based on the survey responses of 2,022 professionals for the weeks of October 5 - November 1, the pre-festive season findings reveal India's improving financial outlook.
The media and communications industry has taken a big leap in overall workforce confidence, with a composite score of +40, up 13 points from +27 in October, said the report.
However, their confidence score is still low when compared to other industries like manufacturing (+60), software iamp; IT (+55), and finance (+52).
The findings also showed that 50 per cent Gen X professionals are concerned about slow career progression while working remotely, while 31 per cent feel they achieve less when working remotely.
