How top Indian IT companies Infosys and TCS are fighting attrition
Live MintAttrition rates have been high across IT companies through the last few quarters as demand for technology talent with digital skills continued to outstrip supply with increasing labor costs. “The companies have taken various measures such as offering competitive compensation, improving employee engagement, employee wellbeing, reskilling, and providing better opportunities to acquire and retain talent. Though attrition remained elevated, companies are seeing some moderation in attrition on a quarterly annualized basis,” said domestic brokerage and research firm Motilal Oswal in a note. With attrition moderating, an improvement in pricing, lower dependency on sub-contractors, higher fresher additions, and strong operating leverage, both companies should be able to sustain margins going forward.
