EmploymentScape Chief Executive Officer, Harrison Barnes discusses the importance of keeping one’s job secured, and how external factors affect job security.
Harrison believes that it is crucial for job seekers to choose the right kind of job, the right kind of organization, and to have the perfect pay-package for enjoying job security to the fullest.
According to Harrison, professionals in high positions in an organization are more prone to getting chucked off rather than those in lesser positions. It is the same in the context of pay-packages, the higher it is, the more chances of getting laid off in an organization in times of trouble. Harrison also believes that the complexity of an organization also plays a crucial role in hampering or promoting a sense of job security among different workers in an organization.
Competitiveness in an industry is also a harbinger of increasing insecurity in jobs, as there is constant push-and-pull with regards to resources.
