It’s a pleasure to share our insightful conversation with Dr. Pradyumna Pandey, Head HR Manufacturing, Hero MotoCorp, and Ms. Gunjan Mishra, Head- HR, RNF Technologies moderated by Mr. Romesh Srivastava, Editor-in-Chief, SightsIn Plus where we explored: Does staying long with a company stall growth? And when is the best time to switch jobs?
Does Staying Long Stalls Growth Opportunities in an Organization?
Staying long in an organization can sometimes limit growth opportunities if roles or responsibilities become stagnant. However, if you consistently demonstrate your caliber, showcase the value you bring, and proactively seek diverse roles within the same company, it doesn’t have to hinder career growth.
By taking on new challenges, expanding your skill set, and contributing to different departments, you ensure continuous learning and progression. This not only keeps your career dynamic but also enhances your expertise within the organization. In such cases, long tenure can strengthen your position and open doors to leadership and development opportunities.

What is the right time to switch your jobs?
The best time to change your jobs is when you feel a lack of growth opportunities, stagnation, or diminishing excitement in your current role.
The day your job no longer provides opportunities for development, doesn’t empower you to deliver what you’re capable of, or stops bringing you happiness is a strong signal to consider a change.
If the work environment becomes toxic or negatively impacts your well-being, or if new opportunities offer better career advancement, compensation, or work-life balance, it’s time to make a move.
Aligning your decision with personal goals ensures a strategic and timely transition.
Is one year enough to stay with an organization?
Even one month can be sufficient if you’re not happy with the organization, as job satisfaction is crucial for personal and professional growth. However, the average tenure in an organization should ideally be 2-3 years.
The first six months typically serve as a probation period, during which you learn the company’s culture, your role, and responsibilities. This initial phase is essential for adapting and integrating into the team.
Staying beyond the probation period allows you to contribute meaningfully, develop skills, and build relationships, ultimately enhancing your career trajectory and job satisfaction in the long run.
