He cited the shortage of web development skills, web design technology professionals, and the need for more talented middle-level managers.
Analysts pointed out that these remarks were a further indication of the impending talent shortage in the Indian IT sector. NASSCOM had estimated that, by 2010, India could face a shortfall of 500,000 IT professionals. It was believed that this could seriously threaten India’s position as a leading provider of IT and ITES services.
According to NASSCOM, every year over 3 million people (graduates and post graduates) are added to the workforce in India. Of these, only 25 percent of technical graduates and 10-15 percent of other graduates are considered employable by the growing IT and ITES sectors.
Questions:
a. Explain the main cause/causes of concern for the Company in this case. Can it be solved? How? b. What strategies do companies resort to in order to retain, their existing talented work force? c. Highlight the significance of “providing Training” to the employees in an organization. Is It really important.
