Young professionals should be able to maintain transparency, be it the engagement with clients or their leaders."Manikandan Bala, Senior Vice President, Elekta, says, "People often immediately say that it's all about the knowledge about the industry. Make no mistake; for any candidate, knowledge is an excellent trait to have. But what I look for in a candidate is attitude and aptitude. Attitude to learn and adapt is crucial. I generally advocate cross-industry work if you have the right attitude. I have got people from the automobile and banking industries to work for the medical sector." He continues, "On the other hand, the zest for continuous learning is also vital. It's beyond any reasonable doubt that you will become obsolete in no time if you don't constantly learn and adapt to the changes. Additionally, great communication skills are something I always look for in a candidate because good communication helps establish trust and good relationships with all the stakeholders, including clients."What does the Current Generation Look for? Positive Work Environment?Yes, not only the current generation, but people always look for a positive work culture that makes them feel valued and supported and where communication is open and honest. But here's the thing - what makes a good work environment can also vary greatly from person to person. For some, it may be about flexible working hours and the freedom to work from home. For others, it means a team supporting them and a boss listening to their ideas. Commitment is also an important issue. A healthy workplace is one where everyone has a fair chance and feels they belong, regardless of their background. It's about celebrating diversity and ensuring equal opportunities for all, as well as team lunches, office parties, or just the good old water coolers. These things may seem small, but they can help make the workplace feel like a community. The basics usually consist of respect, support, communication and opportunities for growth. It's about creating a non-toxic workplace where everyone is happy every day and can grow professionally and personally.A healthy work environment benefits both employees and employers and can have a significant impact on employees' mental health. PEOPLE HAVING THE RIGHT ATTITUDE & APTITUDE, ABILITY TO UP-SKILL & UPSCALE THEMSELVES, THAT FINE BALANCE OF HEAD, HEART, & GUTS. THIS IS ALSO ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I DON'T TALK MUCH ABOUT THE WORK ASPECT WHEN I TAKE AN INTERVIEW. I TALK MORE ABOUT THE PERSONAL ELEMENT, THEIR EXPERIENCES, THE CHALLENGES, & HOW THEY TACKLED THEM," ADDS VYAS
