Human Resources Self-regulated HR norms for IT/ITeS sectors likely Our Bureau
Chennai , July 18 The IT and the ITeS sectors in India, currently outside the net of trade unionism and labour regulation, may soon opt for a self-regulated charter of Best HR Practices. Mercer Human Resource Consulting, India has just concluded a study of 100 Nasscom member organisations (both IT and ITeS companies) that provided details of some of the HR systems and processes followed there. "This self-promulgated guideline would be a good marketing tool for the industry campaigns," said Mr R. Shankar, Country Head and Human Capital Advisory Services Leader, Mercer Human Resource Consulting, India.
Areas of concern
Speaking at Nasscom HR Summit 2006 in Chennai on Tuesday, Mr Shankar highlighted some concern areas for the IT industry that would be addressed in the charter: attrition, employee safety, need for more lateral movements within the company, mentoring and proportion of female employees being less than the global standards. "But there are some areas in which the industry has done exceptionally well, like providing world-class recreation facilities at workplace, average workspace and number of training hours given to employees," he said. The study will be presented to Nasscom in about two weeks, according to Mr Shankar. Mr Kiran Karnik, President, Nasscom, said that this was a "step in the right direction and the charter would provide the IT/ITeS sectors useful guidelines to formulate their HR systems."
