  5. We’ll focus on when —?just as much as where — we work

People are #humans with needs and different drivers of #productivity ,” says Giurge.

“You need to understand that diversity and cater to it. It's not a one-size-fits-all model anymore.”

— Gianna Prudente

Navigating the New Normal

  1. Leaders who will stand out in this period of uncertainty are the ones who take an #AdaptiveLeadership approach

Attrition, layoffs, moonlighting amid strong growth - What 2023 holds for IT firms?

“The last year has again litmus tested many aspects of workplace resilience. As we head into 2023, #Productivity and #TalentRetention must be front of mind for business leaders.

Bouncing Back From A Toxic Work Relationship

How To Tell If You’re Engaged In A Toxic Environment?

" If your manager, executives and HR don’t take action or demonstrate a lack of caring, it's time to move on. "

The longer you stay, the more your self-esteem and morale will be wounded. You’ll become bitter, angry and resentful.

What To Expect When Your Start Your Job Search

  • When you badmouth people from your prior companies, it’s a big turnoff.
  • Practice Interviewing To Overcome Your Battered Psyche.
  • The key to bouncing back and finding a new job, in addition to healing yourself, is to practice interviewing.

...

?? How to Tell If a Company’s Culture Is Right for You

During the interview process, you had a singular goal: to get an offer. Now that you have one, you must determine whether the job and organization are a good fit for you.

Finally, reflect on whether the organization is a place where you will thrive. You’re never going have perfect data, and beware analysis paralysis. Trust your judgment.

?? If You’re Not Outside Your Comfort Zone, You Won’t Learn Anything

Public speaking. Attending a networking event. Confronting a coworker. These are uncomfortable tasks, but sometimes need to be performed for us to grow professionally. So how do you move out of your #ComfortZone ? It’s simple: be honest about your excuses; recognize your strengths and take advantage of them; and finally, jump in. If you make a few mistakes along the way, don’t worry. It’s just another part of the learning process.

Talent Crunch

?? What Is The Talent Crunch?

What does this mean? Well for one, finding and #hiring new people will become increasingly difficult. It also means you, as an employer, must improve how you handle the candidate’s experience throughout the hiring process.

?? Indian IT industry hired 380k freshers in FY22, focus on Gen Z is more

"With newer perspectives and ideas, #GenZ and #Millennials are setting the future course of #EmployeeEngagement , #retention , and #acquisition strategies. It will be interesting to see how these newer generations shape India's future as the #TalentHub of the world," said Sangeeta Gupta, Senior Vice President, and Chief Strategy Officer, #Nasscom .

?? Talent crunch can slow down the post-pandemic recovery process

This impacts every business. There is a growing need for skilled technical talent, but only some nations and businesses have the means to achieve it.

?? What are the challenges with technical debt and how to reduce it

This delays the value delivered to end-users. Further, having a complex app with bad architecture and code patterns requires more expert developers to tackle those problems and make the app more efficient—and we all know how difficult it is to hire developers today due to the #TalentShortage .

?? Decoding gig economy future: Will freelancers take over major roles in 2023 and 2024?

In the coming years, the ecosystem for contract-based workers will get stronger with Better Pay, more Secure contracts and union Recognition, says Mr Aditya Narayan Mishra, the CEO of CIEL HR Services.


Opportunities

?? Will recession end work from home in 2023?

Market analysts believe that successful people may find work in any economy. Because it allows businesses to cut back on office space and other expenses, the recession may actually benefit the remote work trend.

Companies can save money on labour by hiring employees in countries with more liberal remote work rules. To gain more freedom and save money$ on transportation, employees who are allowed to work from home are ready to accept a wage drop.

$ => I'd say to Save the Precious Time, which can be utilized in Factual Work that Matters!

...

When comparing Infosys and TCS, the latter's rigid remote work policy stands out. There will be no exceptions granted for #RemoteWorkers at #TCS .

#Infosys CEO Salil Parekh of Infosys is pleased with the company's relaxed stance on re-instituting standard work hours. For the time being, showing up to work is completely optional.

?? The unfair advantage of location

TCS and Infosys are difficult to rival in the global #ITindustry . They have access to a relatively #inexpensive #ITworkforce in #India .

The point is, being at certain locations has benefits that are hard to compensate for using other methods.

We must be consciously aware of that.

?? Why I'm Optimistic About JavaScript's Future

#JavaScript continues to thrive, with developers eager to use it everywhere - in the browser, on the server, and at the edge. Its popularity is driven by its built-in growth hack of being in the browser, its massive #ecosystem of tools and libraries, and the growing adoption of #TypeScript . Improved alignment between #NodeJS and the web platform, and better cross-browser support for JavaScript, CSS, and Web APIs, have made it easier for developers to write isomorphic JavaScript, which can be reused on both the client and the server. Overall, the future looks bright for JavaScript!

TCS loses 2,197 employees and attrition remains above 21% in third quarter

#TCS said its total #workforce strength reduced by 2,197 #employees in the October to December 2022 period while attrition slowed down marginally (from 21.5) to 21.3 percent even as the firm’s #management had earlier indicated that #attrition had bottomed out.

TCS’ loss of employees during the third quarter of the fiscal compares with 9,840 net additions in the July to September quarter in which it had already hit a nine-quarter low.

The company’s total headcount now stands at 6,13,974.

...

High #AttritionRate , the gradual reduction of #workforce by employees leaving and not being replaced — rather than by redundancy — have remained a #concern for the past few quarters especially for #tech firm’s. In the second quarter of the 2022-2023 financial year, the #AttritionRate of top five tech IT giants in India — #Infosys , #Wipro , #TCS , #TechMahindra and #HCLTech — averaged at about 23 percent.

TCS, Infosys, Wipro: How HR issues plague IT sector

What was once known to attract top talent from across the country is now embroiled in a protracted #controversy over issues such as stunted salary hikes, cutbacks on variable pay and inordinate delays in on-boarding?new employees. The sector is also witnessing a steep downfall in #EmployeeLoyalty as high attrition, moonlighting, and quiet quitting become maladies for the industry in the post-Covid-19 era.

...

But attrition is a matter of serious concern because it comes with a price tag for the company.

The cost of attrition comprises three+ things: when an employee leaves the company,

  1. the position needs to be filled soon because there is loss of productivity— this is one part of the cost;
  2. the next part is the cost of finding a replacement;
  3. then when the replacement starts working… they need to be trained; this makes up another part of the cost of attrition,”

explains Udernani.

“There is an argument to be made for looking after your people well. Looking after your people includes all your people, not just the top ones++,”

says former Nasscom president Karnik.

For Pai, the real answer lies in soul-searching.

“This is an industry that [used to] put people first, which took care of everybody. Over the last 10 years, the idea of looking out for the people at the bottom of the pyramid has gone.
The human spirit is what made these companies great. This industry was built with great human culture; if they diverge from that, they would turn into *mercenary* organisations,”

he says.

?? TCS, Infosys, and Wipro CEOs witness 1500% salary hikes in last decade

As per the report, the salaries of freshers have increased a little over 45% while the salaries of CEOs have zoomed around 1500%.

Economist has 100% record in predicting recessions. What he says for this year

Despite the yield curve being inverted for the ninth time since 1968, economist Campbell Harvey said it’s probably not a harbinger for a recession.

One of the reasons is the fact the yield curve-growth relation has become so well known and widely covered in popular media that now it impacts behavior, he said. The awareness induces companies and consumers to take risk-mitigating actions, such as increasing savings and avoiding major investment projects — which bode well for the economy.

?? Building workplace culture that wins talent

#Salaries , faster #promotions , #flexibility , #wellbeing — organisations are scratching their head with all the possibilities for making their best talent stay. However, the “war for talent” is increasingly becoming a bishop’s riddle. What will solve this puzzle is often the most underrated but most potent tool– #Culture .

You know who is making Excuses to justify #gaslighting .. And then guess who gets the **Best** #Rewards , #Hike , #Promotion etc.?

"Personal" Favorites / Relatives...!?! ??

Since, it is assumed that EVERYone works dedicatedly..,

( At least, 12% Maybe? <= New Report: Only 12^ Percent of Employees Are Fully Productive at Work )

..So, the Out of the Box Expectations imply **Unfairly** getting own work done by Subordinates OR the *Personal* Relation / Appeasement !?! ??

Who even remotely cares about Factual Work Performance / Role / Commitment, Merit, UX, Quality, Customer Satisfaction, Brand Values, Loyalty, Comparative Analysis... and most importantly - #EthicsAndCompliance !?! ??

( Especially when it's just about ALL the Employees' Wellbeing - Unpublished / Off the record matters, wherein Cornered / Helpless / Powerless Employees just had to bear with the #tyranny OR are provoked to #resign ! ?? )

If anyone cares even a bit, Why Not be Transparent and at least Internally publicize the Rationale behind such Growth related decisions, and detailed insights !?! ??

But Nope! Mostly, it's a Strictly Confidential, Top Secret!! ??

Sheer Abuse of Power.., So, Nevertheless, for #Favoritism , Anything can be unjustly Falsified / Throttled / Blocked.., too! and hence, mostly the #Powerful "Majority" Wins, irrespective of #Merit , at least for the time being!

Who even Genuinely cares about #EqualOpportunity , #RespectForPeople , #Transparency , #Integrity etc. !?!

?? Life is short. Power is ephemeral. Physical beauty is short-lived, I have seen it in lions. I have seen it in old people. I have seen it in the corporate world.
