A Study from Elixir Internet Solutions, A talent search firm reveals how to retain employees by breaking all the organizational guidelines.

One of the greatest techniques of War had been the technique of attrition warfare, defined in military terms as a technique of warfare that pursues victory via the cumulative destruction of the enemys material assets by superior firepower.

One particular of the most recent trends in HR is treating the employees as internal consumers. Although Marketers wont converge on the benefits of such a trend due to the fact that causes some confusion between external and internal customers and approaches, the primary advantage right here is that enables a large quantity of strategies to be developed.

Businesses these days drop 25% of their annual revenue as a outcome of attrition. Deficiencies like inability to influence employee perception of growth not aligning workers to roles primarily based on their individual talent, inflexibility in leadership styles, are causing conflicts at a very intrinsic level, resulting in staff picking the proverbial easy way out. They try to modify the manager or work atmosphere and hope for the greatest to happen.

It is not any one element but the whole package, a synergy among money, atmosphere, acquiring the correct skills by means of coaching, comfort, safety, challenge and a entire melting pot of other elements. Job satisfaction is a difficult recipe to get appropriate. Nevertheless, with the appropriate training, the team leaders, supervisors and managers can guarantee that they get this recipe appropriate.

When Jack Welsh, ex-CEO of GE instituted his policy of yearly appraisalsgenerously rewarding the leading 20% A performers, creating the middle 70% Bs, and firing the bottom 10% Cs, he certainly did not have the BPO operation in mind. Neglect firing the bottom 10%, in the existing circumstance, the BPO companies would speak about re-coaching the bottom 10% in an endeavor to curb the higher attrition prices.

All hell is breaking shed on the Indian BPO business. BPO firms are resorting to different strategies ranging from giving luxury comforts to its personnel (housing scheme, low rate loans, pick and drop, eye-catching catering), getting spouses operating in the exact same organization, recruiting the non recruitables (like housewives and old age folks) or in some cases signing anti poaching agreements to retain people.

BPOs are trying a fix all resolution for keeping this educated manpower with itself and develop a top quality manpower pool that will stick with the organization for a longer period of time. According to a consultative report on off shore get in touch with centers and outsourcing in India, around $ 232 million has been invested in contact centers in India. The largest query in todays IT & ITES business is, How to cease these job hoppers?

1. EXL Service has taken 125 flats in Noida, where for a nominal rent, it homes young staffers.

2. Wipro Spectramind has tied up with BITS Pilani and the Symbiosis Institute of Management to give distance finding out programme for workers.

three. Key Computer software giant, Personal computer Sciences Corporation offers its employees a six month sabbatical to work with an NGO of their selection.

4. ICICI OneSource, the Bangalore based BPO which employs around 4,one hundred people, for instance, gives scholarships of upto Rs. 50,000 to workers who want to enroll in distance studying programmes.

five. Equivalent story at Chennai based Cognizant Technologies, which delivers multiple profession paths for its employees. That means technical pros can opt for diverse career options like project management, technical track or enterprise development.

To some extent, our industry is bound to stick to the trend in the US get in touch with centers which face attrition rates as high as 50 80 percent. In truth, in a number of circumstances, the complete staff is known to undergo a alter within a year, creating the attrition price touch one hundred %. The picture is largely as opposed to the US where the students or fresh graduates like to perform as contact center agents, or as telemarketing executives for brief periods, ie. Till they locate much better possibilities. Around 60 65 % of the contact center agents leave within 1 month of their joining when they understand that the offerings by the organization are not in line with their expectations. Maintaining this in mind we supply our clientele a one particular month guarantee bond wherein we take the assure that the agent we employ will stay for atleast a month., says Perry Madan, Manager ITES practice, Elixir Net Solutions.

Yet another fascinating study by Elixir Web Solutions revealed that at occasions leadership crisis in an organization can also lead to attrition. There has been a phenomenal alter in employee perception of loyalty more than the last decade and is particularly accurate of understanding workers. What the organization can count on from an employee has substantially changed from loyalty to commitment to cause and so has the factors causing them.

With out a second believed you can conclude that it is the quick manager of an employee who can most influence this factor and that is where crisis of leadership is hurting IT organizations the most, in terms of Bleeding Intellectual Capital.

Altogether its crunch time for software firms and get in touch with centers. Believe it or not but when threats and pleas dont function, guess whos stepping to the rescue? A Vastu Consultant. Some software program organizations have approached vastu consultants for options to check the attrition price. Even corporate who constructed their offices maintaining vastu in mind are verifying regardless of whether modifications are required. Employees must either face east or north. If the seating arrangement is wrong, then the chances of people leaving the organization at the initial chance is a lot more, adds a Vastu Consultant.

Even though the present atmosphere presents enough possibilities for folks with relevant talent sets and sufficient manpower for organization to choose from, the turnover without doubt bleeds worth out of an organization, both in terms of time and income. As described earlier its not just one particular aspect but the entire package, job satisfaction nonetheless remains a challenging recipe to get right.
