A STAGGERING 86% professionals plan to change jobs in the coming months even after salary increments in the just-concluded appraisal cycle, according to the latest Foundit Appraisal Trends Report 2025.
The survey said that the intention to switch jobs is the highest among the employees who received the maximum increments of over 20%.
The survey, based on responses from 5,108 employees across industries and functions, revealed that nearly 74% professionals got salary increments this appraisal cycle.
Though overall appraisals are broadly in line with expectations, the actual increment amounts and sector-wise disparities have left most professionals discontented.
The survey further underscored that salary is no longer the only crucial factor in retaining high-performing talent.
