CII NATIONAL SEMINAR ON EMPLOYEE RETENTION

(Bhikaji Cama Place), New Delhi

The high economic growth in many regions of the world and the resultant job opportunities have thrown up many challenges for industry. The availability of talent has become a key factor in building and sustaining successful organisations.

Manpower shortages are causing unprecedented escalation in the salary levels and leading to lower average stay of an employee in an organisation, leading to high attrition rates. In many cases it is estimated that more than half of the talented employees in companies are either being poached or are themselves looking for greener pastures. The attrition rates are soaring and in many cases are reported to be as high as 20-30% in some sectors. All this is causing a high level of uncertainty and instability in businesses. The problem has to be addressed, not only by HR but also by the top management.

In view of the above, companies have to be proactive in their approach. Quick-fix solutions of retaining employees, through promotions or salary increases, invariably take their own toll on employee morale and thus have to be avoided. The changing needs and aspirations of the work force and the factors causing high attrition need to be understood.

Many companies have already started addressing these issues, e.g. taking steps to become employers of choice, providing good career planning and opportunities, evolving a better work-life balance etc.

I am writing to advise that the CII National Committee on HR & IR is organizing a one-day Seminar on Employee Retention on 4 December 2007 at Delhi. The objective of the Seminar would be to disseminate and share success stories that participants could replicate in their respective companies.

I am writing to cordially invite you, to attend this Seminar as well as nominate concerned officials from your company. Please confirm your participation through the attached Reply Form.

We look forward to receiving your confirmation.
With kind regards,
