Consulting firm Deloitte anticipates that the Indian IT industry is likely to add
over 2.25 lakh employees in 2011.
According to the report the total number of employees working in this sector
will see growth of 22.3 lakh this year, rendering an addition of 2.26 lakh people
to the segment and also mentioning that 80 lakh professionals will receive
employment indirectly from the IT/ITeS (IT enabled services) sector, as the
global economy adopts a recovery approach.
The report comes at a time when IT magnums like TCS, Infosys, and Wipro
have increased their hiring and is looking to add more employees this season.
Companies that want to attract dedicated, creative employees are ready to offer
more than competitive pay. Today, prospective employees look for benefits
such as family leave, tuition reimbursement, employee assistance programs,
flexible hours, job share opportunities and financial planning programs.
Companies' expectations have also changed. Employment ads now ask for
"team players," "consensus builders" and "creative thinkers" along with the
routine qualifications of literacy and specific experience. Employees at all
levels are expected to know more and do more.
Flatter organizations offer fewer opportunities to climb the corporate ladder, but
more potential for life-long learning through cross-functional teams, lateral
moves, and corporate training programs. Reward systems are adapting to the
new emphasis on knowledge. Performance evaluation processes are beginning
to demand and reward personal development.
Wages and salaries are still important incentives. Compensation is no more the
only indication of an employee's value to the company. However, compensation
is increasingly tied to an employee's knowledge level, to their ability to apply
learning, to their ability to extrapolate experience from one field to another.
