focus has shifted from numbers to quality and from recruitment to retention.2
The reason being that in a world where technologies , processes and products are
quickly duplicated by the competitors , and the pace of change and level of
competition are constantly increasing , people are the key to the most reliable
customer relationships , and the creativity and innovations that keep a company one
step ahead. 3Within the resource based view ( RBV ) , Researchers assumed that
the firm is a pool of hard- to- copy resources and capabilities ( Conner 1991) and
those discrepancies in size distribution and competitiveness of firms occur from their

associated with the turnover in terms of hiring, training and productivity loss costs
can add up to more than five per cent of an organization’s operating costs. Fitz-enz

Employees today are different. They are not the ones who don’t have good
opportunities in hand. As soon as they feel dissatisfied with the current employer or
the job, they switch over to the next job. It is the responsibility of the employer to
retain their best employees. If they don’t, they would be left with no good employees.
A good employer should know how to attract and retain its employees. Most
employees feel that they are worth more than they are actually paid. There is a
natural disparity between what people think they should be paid and what
organizations spend in compensation. When the difference becomes too great and
desire to move. In the past organizations grew at a pace and stability and individuals
mostly saw their career in one organization and stuck to the same. Now-a-days
either organizations don’t grow at the pace at which the individual career aspirations
grow or organizations do not grow at a pace that matches the individual’s, causing
individuals to move (Rao, 2006). They join an entity, gain knowledge, skills,
undergo training, work for a short period of time and then quit.
In the recent decades the Indian industry has changed its outlook. The employment
scene has changed its appearance. The factors like skill sets, job satisfaction drive
the employment and not just the money. The employer hence faces the heat of
13
It is not easy to find out as to who contributes and who has the control on the
contributing to the prevailing retention. Retention does not happen for one or two
reasons. The way the industry is projected and speed at which the companies are
Organizational matters:
The employees always assess the management values, work culture, work practices
getting the
businesses and retain it for a long time. There are always ups and downs in the
business. When there is no focus and in the absence of business plans, non-
availability of the campaigns makes people to quickly move out of the organization.
Working environment:
Working environment is the most important cause of attrition. Employees expect very
friendly and learning environment. It means bossism; rigid rules and stick approach
will not suit the call center. Employees look for freedom, good treatment from the
superiors, good encouragement, friendly approach from one and all, and good
motivation.
14
Job matters:
No doubt the jobs today bring lots of pressure and stress is high. The employees
leave the job if there is too much pressure on performance or any work related
pressure. It is quite common that employees are moved from one process to
another. They take time to get adjusted with the new campaigns and few employees
find it difficult to get adjusted and they leave immediately. Monotony sets in very
quickly and this is one of the main reasons for Retention. Youngsters look jobs as
being temporary and they quickly change the job once they get in to their own field.
The other option is to move to such other process work where there is no pressure of
sales and meeting service level agreements (SLA). The employees move out if there
are strained relations with the superiors or with the subordinates or any slightest
discontent.
Moving from one job to another for higher salary, better positions and better benefits
are the most important reasons for attrition. The salaries offered from MNC
companies in Bangalore, Delhi and Mumbai have gone up very high and it is highly
impossible for the Indian companies to meet the expectations of the employees. The
employees expect salary revision once in 4-6 months and if not they move to other
organizations.
External inequity arises when an employee realizes that some other employee from
a different organization puts in much less efforts than he does, but receives a much
15
higher compensation than him. This could cause an employee to feel that maybe he
is not getting compensated fairly and can cause him to quit the job.
Internal inequity occurs when the employee feels that the amount of efforts he puts
in to do his job are much more than what rewards he gets in return for them. This
can cause him to feel de-motivated and nurture feelings of dissatisfaction and
Personal reasons:
The personal reasons are many and only few are visible to us. The foremost
personal reasons are getting married or falling in love or change of place. The next
important personal reason is going for higher education. Most of the BE, MCA and
others appear for GATE examination or other examinations and once they get
Health is another aspect, which contributes for attrition. Employees do get affected
with health problems like sleep disturbances, indigestion, headache, throat infection
and gynecological dysfunction (for lady employees). Employees who have allergic
problems and unable to cope with the AC hall etc will tend to get various other health
16
Poaching:
The demand for trained and competent manpower is very high. Poaching has
become very common. The big companies target employees of small companies.
The placement agencies have good days for doing more business.
The employees with 4-6 months experience have very good confidence and dare to
walk out and get a better job in a week's time. Most of the organizations have
employee referral schemes and this makes people to spread message and refer the
Employee’s advocate:

employees’ careers and jobs. The company’s overall plans and strategies also

17
Work Timings
The work timings are very odd in IT companies and this affects the family life of the
employee. Moreover, the pressure is more on female because of her traditional role
in the society. Now day’s nuclear families are there and it becomes really difficult to
manage work and life if work timings are odd. Work timings are another cause for
attrition.
Career Growth
means that other employees look forward to change their job at other places where
they can get better opportunities to progress. Also, another problem arises with the
some employees see no career growth in this sector, so they move on to other
Higher Education
This is a problem as most of the employees in this sector are pretty young and
aspiring. They join the firm because of lucrative salary. But with time, they try to
move on to other sectors or top management and one of the ways to do this is higher
education.
18
Role stagnation
Attrition rate is higher at knowledge level (middle level) in which the employee has to
do the same work again and again, which makes his work monotonous and due to
lack of responsibility and authority his growth is restricted to a particular role, so they
move to other companies where they can play different roles and handle
responsibility.
Lack of recognition
When an employee feels that he is not getting due recognition for his achievement, a
feeling of demotivation creeps into him, and this can cause him to consider leaving
the organization. Employees have an expectation that when they work well, they will
get some recognition from their managers in the form of a personal appreciation or
an award etc.
Under-utilization of skills
19
responsibilities which enable them to move up the career ladder and when their skills
and potential is being overlooked they end up with leaving the job.
Performance assessment
An employee may feel disappointed by the performance appraisal report and feel
that he has not been appraised in an unbiased manner. It may happen that he feels
that the appraisal process itself is flawed and the appraisers are biased. This can
cause the employee to put in his papers and leave the organization.
Business instability
Many a times, when the organization faces some kind of instability or uncertainty
with regards to operations, an employee might quit his job before he is asked to
leave. Many a times when employees get a whim that the organization is going to
down-size or is going to be taken over by another company, they tend to feel safer
quitting the job than worrying about whether the organization will retain them.

24
How do the hiring and training processes break down in terms of total costs in India?
The typical time for advertising, interviewing, screening, negotiating, and hiring a
new employee is about two weeks. Companies usually allot one week for
programmers to become familiar with the new business, two more weeks for
technical training, and one last week for customer training. Now imagine a 25%
attrition rate and replacing 25 of these programmers each year. Based on a yearly
salary of $15,000 for the human resource person and $25,000 for the programmer, it
costs. After considering these figures, it quickly becomes apparent why companies
