In this era of retrenchment, IT company TCS set a new example, said this big thing about the removal of employees.
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has no intention of laying off employees. A top company official says that at TCS, we groom talent for a long career. TCS Chief Human Resource Officer Milind Lakkad said that the company is going to hire employees of startup companies who have lost their jobs. His statement has come at a time when big information technology (IT) companies around the world are showing the way out to the employees.
We don’t believe in layoffs
Lakkar said, we do not believe in retrenchment. We promote talent. He said that many companies have to take such a step because they hired more people than they wanted. And in this case, when an employee joins the ‘vigilant’ TCS, it is the responsibility of the company to make them ‘productive’. Lakkar said that there are times when the skill set with the employee is less than what we need. In such a situation, we give time to the employee and train him. TCS has more than six lakh employees. Lakkar said that this time also the company will give salary hike to the employees at par with previous years.
