Manufacturing, pharma some of the hottest sectors

BANGALORE: Manufacturing, pharma, BFSI and education will be the pick of the lot amongst industries according to an Employment Outlook and Salary Guide released by staffing firm Kelly Services. The next two decades will see around 200 million people added to the workforce and a demand of senior experienced people in the education sector would be a coveted job for many. According to the report the demand for expatriates in the oil and gas sectors will continue to grow specially from South East Asia, Australia and Europe.

“Companies are actively involved in finding out what their top talent wants and are implementing various motivational methods. Most of them are offering 'Spot bonuses' to employees to retain them as companies have to maintain parity in terms of basic salaries among their workforce to keep bright talent from being poached”, Kamal Karanth, Managing Director, Kelly Services India said.
