Indian IT - Point of Inflexion

[edit]

I would like to point out that ‘HR practices’ in Indian IT/ BPO needs a re-look than get into some form of a 'free for all' on specific companies. The point needs to be noted that TCS, Infosys, Wipro and other large Indian IT firms all have to varying degrees suffering from similar if not same "HR" syndromes.

Each of these firms are often finding their HR outlook, policies and pay packages 'falling' way behind the demands of their global ambitions and increasing global constituents of their work force. Far from using Internationals just for marketing - some like TCS, Wipro are using them for IT delivery. These are adding new dimensions and challenges – integration of global workforce (in reality) and not just in company brochures.

IT/BPO Industry in India are 'sweat shops' in smokeless factories. Here staff swipe-in, account for productivity/ work done thro' digital time mgmt systems (like in Infosys), face intelligent salary structures that cut away 30-35% of pay during bench phase (like in Wipro)in name of variable components and have nice amenties to keep the employee at work (like in most BPO campuses). The fact it the Industry is COMMODITIZED - not really the high-value solution engineering that media guided by NASSCOM and other would like everyone to believe. They are trying to hook gullible youngsters to change their outlook and interests to suit company short-to-medium terms needs (you will have students aspiring to become networking professionals learning SAP and MBA polishing their CRM skills, just to ensure bench time is limited and/or marketable Enterprise IT skills are imbibed).

The Industry has tried to 'digitize' most functions including HR. They have annual reviews, automated surveys, digital 'workflow' based appraisal mechanism, proverbial '360' degree feedback which and many more nice frameworks - which a Harvard/ Wharton professors would appreciate. All of them claim CMMi & PCMMi compliance and other parallel quality paradigms.

I think it is a moment of all of us to stop, think and spare a thought. When each of the India IT majors and some International majors like IBM, Accenture talk about adding 10k-30k this coming year alone.... where is the time for humane touch and employee friendly policies in face of scale and size mania.

Why would they?

[edit]

Why would they use better HR practices? What is their incentive? They want robots, not human beings. They know that if they place an ad tomorrow, two thousand people will queue at their door. Why would they care about an employee? We seriously need strong employees unions in the IT sector. Otherwise these companies will continue to bully us with the backing of the media and the govt.

Requested move 25 November 2024

Tata Consultancy ServicesTCS – Per WP:PRECISE, WP:CONCISE, and to match IBM which is also a short name. And WP:UCRN per Google Ngram. Quite obvious reason to move it to TCS. – 𝙰𝚔𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚟™ 🗿 03:45, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also relevant is WP:ACROTITLE and its examples of NASA and CIA (even though CIA is a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT). Three-letter pimrary topics are very rare, although some do exist. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 21:04, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
