In India, one out of every five millennials has experienced job insecurity in their workplace in 2025. A new survey on Millennials in the Workplace 2025, by Great Place to Work, highlights a mixed picture of employee wellbeing, retention, and career growth. The report, which studies employees born between 1981 and 1997, shows that financial well-being remains the biggest challenge, with 1 in 4 millennials struggling. While 83 per cent of millennials report working in a psychologically safe environment, the remaining 17 per cent lack emotional and mental workplace support. The data reveals a clear link between psychological safety and loyalty—millennials who feel safe at work are twice as likely to stay long-term compared to those who don't. 10 emerging cities in India for job hunt Among the sectors, Financial Services and Insurance and Retail lead with the highest psychological safety, with the rating of 84 per cent, followed closely by Health Care, Information Technology, and Manufacturing & Production, each recording 83 per cent, as per the report. These skills are must for 2025 hiring opportunities On the other hand, sectors like Biotechnology and Pharmaceuticals and Professional Services show slightly lower ratings at 80 per cent, making them the least performing sectors in terms of psychological safety.

Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals matches the overall rate at 15 per cent, while healthcare and financial services and insurance record slightly lower values of 14 per cent each. India's best workplaces in manufacturing sector in 2025 On the positive side, 82 per cent of millennials received upskilling and re-skilling training opportunities in the past year, and 89 per cent were provided with adequate resources and equipment. However, only 47 per cent felt they had strong opportunities to innovate, suggesting organizations need to focus on fostering creativity alongside skilling.
