TALENT MANAGEMENT IN INDIAN SOFTWARE COMPANIES – A DESCRIPTIVE STUDY

B. Gunashree, V. Manjunatha

Abstract


With attrition becoming a more serious issue in Indian companies, it is strange that many organisations neither measure costs associated with attrition nor have specific targets or plans to reduce them. In this context employee attrition needs to be recognized as a mounting problem which requires a careful analysis in the area of human resource management. This paper discusses in detail about introduction to employee attrition management and also reviews about the factors resulting in employee attrition in Indian software companies. Apart from these, this paper will also provide an overview about the existing literatures with respect to employee retention, dimensions of attrition in software companies and the strategies to be adapted in order to manage talented employees in software companies.

Keywords
