		<description>@Maverick: The answer to your questions is:
We are not producing adequate quality HR managers in India.
They are generally bogged down in recruitment, appraisals, hikes etc.; which takes them off from the other area which is so damn important when it comes to esp. IT industry.
At least I am yet to come across some really good HR's who dont just limit themselves to solving petty office issues, but have innovative suggestions to lead the way.

N this response in the mailbox query: I dont know man.
I am using Wordpress for this blog, and it does acts weirdly  no. of times. I have no role to play in it.
Just able to customize some settings.

		<description>Hi,

You are right, its the HR who has to do it.Which leads me two questions.

1) Are they doing their jobs?
2) Whats stopping them?

Or to state in one sentence. The buck stops with the HR.
 (I know this going to bring  a lot people baying for my blood.)

BTW: An off topic question, when I leave a comment, you also take my email id.But how come i am getting your response in my mailbox?)</description>

		<description>@Charu: Two points u hv raised. One harps on the professional reason, while the other is personal.

I agree and have seen the total submission of managers towards clients, which leads to situation n work which is not only unfeasible but comes without plan.
The reason for this is poor managers, who are not able to create project plans properly; and secondly the kinda meek managers who try 2 save their rear by succumbing to whtever demands the clients make.Eventually, it will not b him/her, but the lower rung ppl who r gonna execute it.

Secondly, personal factors do play a role sometimes.But they come into major force, only when either you are very close to a person, and believe him/her to be correct.
OR u already had this seed of displeasure against the company sown into your mind, it was only tht it was not getting water or nourishment to grow.Your friend's decision may just act as the sufficient fodder for it to grow to a gigantic proportions.

		<description>Though i am reading the post quite late, I have only two points to make on attrition:

1. Whether the work is boring or challenging, it gets on employees nerves when the organization tries to comply with every demand of the client. This results in unfair deadlines, late sittings, working on holidays, working from home to meet the deadlines. In the IT industry, the freshers can become bogged down very easily with such an atmosphere and the experiened who refuse such atrocity might be labelled below average performers. This results in attrition of both freshers and experienced people and the company loses as they have trained these people.

2. Sometimes attrition also happens due to the fact that a friend of yours has left and he/she convinces you enough about the fact that how bad the company is. These might happen to freshers in general who are always on the lookout for new avenues and job hopping gives them a good salary hike.</description>

		<description>#arpz: Thanks.N where did I use "updation" ?? 
N I still maintain "updation" is a word.

#Apurva: HR as of now, in IT industry is wht u aptly described. A lot of work needs to be done there.
N i don't agree with the demotion concept. After all, whtever work ppl do requires motivation, n 
promotions as well as salary raise act as incentives.

I also feel tht there needs to be some ethics in place in IT industry.
With rampant poaching, there is no love left for one's own company, as evry1 works with a concept
tht he/she is gonna change on the first good opportunity.

# Maverick: Who's gonna increase the 'engaged performance' u mentioned. HR's gonna play a role in tht.
N thus my suggestions shud work in such cases.

N nobody stops the employee from looking. But I always feel there shud b some ethics attached in work,
which are sorely missing in IT industry in particular.
Companies shud b treated as someone close like a family, and one doesn't change his coterie of close-ones on any damn pretext.
