Future Workplaces to Embrace Adaptability and Experimental Norms, Report Finds

The future of work in India will be defined by experimental styles and lifelong adaptability, according to a new report from job site Indeed. It finds a majority of employees expect to adopt practices like "reverse mentoring" (juniors guiding seniors), "micro-retirements" (short career breaks), and AI integration by 2027. The report highlights a shift from traditional loyalty to "growth-first" habits, where pausing to reflect and reskill is seen not as quitting, but as preparation for future challenges.
