Why Government Jobs are More Secure Options for Employment

Posted by RK Online Jobs on July 8th, 2015

According to statistics, many Indians still prefer comfort and job security to the swanky high-rise offices and hast-moving corporate lifestyles. Government jobs in India still carry the prestige and security that appeal to many people. The government remains as one of the most coveted employers in the country, even now that markets have long been liberalised. Public sector jobs are still—and will always be—considered the safer and more secure job option compared to the private sector.

Why Work for the Government?
 
Working for the Indian government has many benefits, including:

•    Job security - Your position is secure and you cannot easily get fired because of small mistakes. Job security is rarely a factor of your performance. Government employees tend to continue working in their stable positions and enjoying a good salary despite poor personal performance.

•    Good pay – Government workers get a steady pay plus allowances, despite losses, economic downturns, or recessions.

•    Comfortable retirement – After serving for a number of years, you receive get pension and other such retirement facilities.
 
•    Life-long benefits - The government gives employees benefits that are hard to get in the private sector, such as housing, health care, and provident funds.

•    Less work - The private sector is notorious for working its employees to the bone, but government jobs are considerably lighter. There is less pressure to outperform co-workers.
 
•    More holidays – Government employees are given more vacation and holiday time off. This means you can spend more time with your family or attending to your other interests.

For people who are attracted to these benefits, finding a steady job in the government certainly trumps the glamour and glitz of private sector jobs. The Indian government's legacy as a stellar employer has not faded; in fact, it has become even more appealing over the last few years, in the face of layoffs induced by the poor economy and massive salary cuts in private sectors.

That said, government jobs are not always challenging. Some people so leave their comfortable government positions because they find their roles to be mundane, with limited scope for improvements. Some also seek more responsibilities and thus move to the private sector.

Having to choose between a comfortable and safe government job and a dynamic job in the private sector can be tough. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. There is really no right or wrong choice. You should choose based on your personal aspirations, wants, and goals.
