Abstract:

The case analyzes the management of human resource in the IT industry with a special emphasis on the factors responsible for the high rate of employee turnover in the industry. The IT industry, being a knowledge-based sector, requires a workforce that is highly competent. Also, the demanding nature of work in the industry requires effective strategies to retain its workforce. With growing demand for Indian IT professionals overseas and with multinational IT companies establishing their offices in India, retention becomes very difficult. To handle the challenge, companies have started using a variety of retention tools such as ESOPs and RSUs.
