    ANALYSIS OF ATTRITION TRENDS

    What is Attrition?

    Attrition has been a major concern for most of the companies in the current competitive

    scenario.

    The word Attrition means, a reduction in the number of employees through resignation or

    separation at the employees will. Retirement, VRS and employee leaving due to end of

    contract are not considered as attrition.

    Attrition rate is the rate of shrinkage in size or number. It is the mathematical

    representation of the attrition in a particular Organization nor an institution.

    Attrition leads to dual loss to an Organization:

    Firstly, company loses on a talent and thus costs incurred on them are a

    waste.

    Secondly, it employees a new employee and thus needs to incur costs

    on them thus the following costs:

    A. Recruitment cost

    The cost to the business when hiring new employees includes the following six factors

    plus 10 percent for incidentals such as background screening:

    Time spent on sourcing replacement

    Time spent on recruitment and selection

    Travel expenses, if any

    Re-location costs, if any & Training/ramp-up time

    Background/reference screening

    Recruitment cost for the new recruit to replace the employee leaving

    B. Training and development cost

    To estimate the training and development costs, the expenses incurred on training of the

    employee who is leaving should be taken as well as that to be incurred to train the new

    employee is also to be considered. To estimate the cost of training and developing new

    employees, cost of new hires must be taken into consideration. This will mean direct and

    indirect costs, and can be largely classified under the following heads:

    Training materials

    Technology

    Trainers Time

    C .Administration cost They include:

    Set up communication systems

    Add employees to the HR system

    Set up the new hires work space

    Set up ID-cards, access cards, etc.

    Thus it can be clearly evident from the above that loosing an employee causes an

    organization large amount of expenses. An Organization thus tries to retain its work

    force.

    Reasons for Attrition

    From the exit interview forms and the comments of the HR Manager the overall reasons

    for attrition can be summarized as follows:

  • 7/30/2019 Final Spachno Bpo

    3/71

    Better prospects outside the company in terms of salary and responsibilities

    Lack of Team spirit

    No career growth

    No role clarity

    Attrition due to competition

    Lack of support from Superiors

    Retaining the Employees

    Employees today are different. They are not the ones who dont have good opportunities

    in hand. As soon as they feel dissatisfied with the current employer or the job, they

    switch over to the next job. In prominent Indian metros, there is no dearth of

    opportunities for the best in the business, or even for the second or the third best.

    Importance of retaining employees remains the same irrespective of the size of the

    Organization, its nature of business or the country of operation. The only difference lies

    in realizing the fact that frequent employee attrition means there is something, which

    needs immediate attention and cure.

    Employee Retention involves taking measures to encourage employees to remain in the

    Organization for the maximum period of time. It involves being sensitive to people's

    needs and demonstrating the various strategies in the five families detailed in Roger

    Herman's classic book on employee retention, Keeping Good People.

    Compensation: It is said that money isn't a motivator, but it is an effective de-motivator.

    The employees always have high expectations regarding their compensation packages. So

    an attractive compensation package plays a critical role in retaining the employees.

    4/71

    Growth: No one joins an Organization to just do the same work till the end of his career.

    If an employee does not see growth in his own Organization, there are high chances that

    he might opt for leaving the Organization. So such strategies must be framed where an

    employee can see his bright future in the company.

    Relationships: The management is sometimes not able to provide an employee a

    supportive work culture and environment in terms of personal or professional

    relationships. The Organization culture should be such that encourages healthy

    relationship between all the employees.

    Support: Sometimes not getting the right kind of support and co-operation also leads

    an employee to be frustrated and provokes him to leave the Organization. This should be

    taken care of by providing healthy work relationships.

    Environment: An Organization needs to have an environment where individuals learn

    and get support from colleagues and seniors along with the healthy mixture of authority

    and responsibility.

    Calculating the Attrition Rate:

    What cannot be measured cannot be improved is an old management aphorism. So if

    we want to improve attrition, we need to bring it tome asureable terms.

    Attrition in any particular Organization can be quantified by finding out the attrition rate

    for that Organization. After this the analysis can be done as tow here is the maximum

    attrition happening and then finding out reasons for the same to form a retention strategy.

    There is no standard formula to calculate the attrition rate of a company. This is because

    of certain factors as:

    The employee base changes each month.

    Many firms may not include attrition of freshers who leave because of

    higher studies or within three months of joining.

    In some cases, attrition of poor performers may also not be treated as

    Yet, as a generalized formula the following can be used:

    Attrition = (No. of employees who left in the year / Average employees in the year) x 100

    ATTRITION RATE IN DIFFERENT SECTORS

    The movement of call centre jobs from higher-wage to lower-wage countries such as

    India is the logical progression of what might be called manufacturing and agricultural

    outsourcing over previous decades, as capital continues its reorientation of the world

    economy in the search for higher profit margins wherever they may exist.

    Business Process Outsourcing is becoming a controversial model and is being discussed

    both in counties of origin as well as those where the work is being outsourced. People are

    7/71

    working themselves into a frenzy in the boardrooms of India and the west. The

    counteroffensive to these moves by pressure groups of various hues and stripes continues

    under the derisive protectionist label. Trade unions in the US and UK and many parts

    of Europe are still deciding if SPANCHO is one of the main reasons for job losses in

    their countries, and it is true that this indeed is the perception among workers there. Trade

    unions in India have very little presence in out sourced services, but many see it as a

    sector that offers jobs, even if a mere drop in the ocean in an employment starved

    country. And the Indian SPANCHO employees themselves appear somewhere in the

    story.

    The more general term of Business Process Outsourcing (SPANCHO) refers to the

    outsourcing of business functions such as airline and hotel reservations, data entry and

    processing tasks, and mortgage processing, some under the rubric of call centre. This

    outsourcing primarily takes the form of a local Indian company or foreign subsidiary

    managing these business operations on behalf of companies in the U.S, U.K. and other

    Anglophone countries. While the SPANCHO industry may provide employment to a

    small segment of Indias population, as an export-oriented industry with competition

    from other countries, it is unclear how long these relatively low-skilled jobs will stay in

    India.1 The SPANCHO industry in India, as an export-oriented sector contingent on

    demand from primarily rich Western countries, is part of a wider government

    encouragement of peripheral industries rather than core manufacturing, such as the export

    garment industry. It follows that this type of outsourcing industry, without accompanying

    investment in other long-term domestic industries, has its limitations.

    BUSINESS PROCESS OUTSOURCING

    Business process outsourcing (SPANCHO) is a subset ofoutsourcing that involves

    the contracting of the operations and responsibilities of specific business functions

    (orprocesses) to a third-party service provider. Originally, this was associated

    withmanufacturing firms, such as Coca Cola that outsourced large segments of its supply

    chain.[1] In the contemporary context, it is primarily used to refer to the outsourcing of

    business processing services to an outside firm, replacing in-house services with labor

    from an outside firm.

    SPANCHO is typically categorized intoback office outsourcing - which

    includes internal business functions such as human

    resourcesorfinance and accounting, and front office outsourcing - which

    includes customer-related services such ascontact centre services.

    SPANCHO that is contracted outside a company's country is called offshore outsourcing.

    SPANCHO that is contracted to a company's neighboring (or nearby) country is

    called near shore outsourcing.

    Often the business processes are information technology-based, and are referred to

    as ITES-SPANCHO, where ITES stands for Information Technology Enabled

    Service. Knowledge process out sourcing(KPO) and legal process outsourcing (LPO) are

    some of the sub-segments of business process outsourcing industry.

    Business process outsourcing (SPANCHO) is the practice of using a third party,

    contracted to perform specific, specialized processes on a companys behalf. Although

    outsourcing in its most basic form has been used for decades, such as when a business

    uses an outside accountant to balance the books, it has become a practice used by the

    majority of businesses and large companies, on a much larger scale. By outsourcing

    certain aspects of doing business, the company can focus on its primary purpose,

    whatever that may be.

    There are two primary types ofSPANCHO:back office and front office out sourcing.

    Typical back office processes that may be outsourced include payroll, billing, logistics

    and human resources. Some companies offer their services in collections, credit analysis

    and job recruitment. More than ever, processes that one would never think would be

    outsourced, such as claims processing at an insurance company, are being outsourced to

    separate companies. Examples of front office outsourcing include technical support,

    customer service, marketing and advertising.

    The foreign call centerhas become one of the most reviled aspects of SPANCHO, with

    many located in different parts of the world. Where most companies once touted their

    customer service as something they took pride in, many customers find themselves

    having to explain their problems to someone has little vested interest in the company.

    Outsourcing or off shoring customer service to countries such as India saves the

    company a lot of money and improves their bottom line. Some of the biggest complaints

    customers have with foreign call centers are heavy accents and obvious scripting.

    A company may utilize SPANCHO due to cost considerations, or simply because they do

    not have the expertise to deal with certain aspects of business. Many companies have

    come under criticism for using SPANCHO to cut costs, especially in regards to call

    centers. Companies in western countries, particularly the United States, are finding that

    countries like India offer the services they need at an excellent price. This is due to the

    fact that many of these countries have a well educated labor pool,

    high unemployment rates and a low cost of living. In India, which had approximately

    63% of the offshore SPANCHO market in 2006, labor is cheap, and employees are

    sometimes better educated than higher-paid workers in the US.

    Many opponents ofSPANCHO lament the fact that western workers are losing jobs to

    foreigners faster than they are being replaced. While many companies are improving their

    bottom line by outsourcing, they are facing harsh criticism by consumers for the decline

    in quality of customer service. Employees may find an outsourced human resources

    department less accessible than an in-house one. Although SPANCHO may be profitable

    now, consumer and employee backlash coupled with government restrictions or taxation

    on the practice may reduce its popularity.

    BENEFITS AND LIMITATIONS

    An advantage of SPANCHO is the way in which it helps to increase a companys

    flexibility. However, several sources have different ways in which they perceive

    organizational flexibility. Therefore business process outsourcing enhances the flexibility

    of an organization in different ways.

    Most services provided by SPANCHO vendors are offered on a fee-for-service basis.

    This can help a company becoming more flexible by transforming fixed into variable

    costs. A variable cost structure helps a company responding to changes in required

    capacity and does not require a company to invest in assets, thereby making the company

    more flexible. Outsourcing may provide a firm with increased flexibility in its resource

    management and may reduce response times to major environmental changes.

    Another way in which SPANCHO contributes to a companys flexibility is that a

    company is able to focus on its core competencies, without being burdened by the

    demands of bureaucratic restraints. Key employees are herewith released from

    performing non-core or administrative processes and can invest more time and energy in

    building the firms core businesses. The key lies in knowing which of the main value

    drivers to focus on customer intimacy, product leadership, or operational excellence.

    Focusing more on one of these drivers may help a company create a competitive edge.

    A third way in which SPANCHO increases organizational flexibility is by increasing the

    speed of business processes. Supply chain management with the effective use of supply

    chain partners and business process outsourcing increases the speed of several business

    processes, such as the throughput in the case of a manufacturing company.

  • 7/30/2019 Final Spachno Bpo

    12/71

    Finally, flexibility is seen as a stage in the organizational life cycle: A company can

    maintain growth goals while avoiding standard business bottlenecks. SPANCHO

    therefore allows firms to retain their entrepreneurial speed and agility, which they would

    otherwise sacrifice in order to become efficient as they expanded. It avoids a premature

    internal transition from its informal entrepreneurial phase to a more bureaucratic mode of

    operation.

    A company may be able to grow at a faster pace as it will be less constrained by large

    capital expenditures for people or equipment that may take years to amortize, may

    become outdated or turn out to be a poor match for the company over time.

    Although the above-mentioned arguments favor the view that SPANCHO increases the

    flexibility of organizations, management needs to be careful with the implementation of it

    as there are issues, which work against these advantages. Among problems, which arise

    in practice are: A failure to meet service levels, unclear contractual issues, changing

    requirements and unforeseen charges, and a dependence on the SPANCHO which

    reduces flexibility. Consequently, these challenges need to be considered before a

    company decides to engage in business process outsourcing.

    A further issue is that in many cases there is little that differentiates the SPANCHO

    providers other than size. They often provide similar services, have similar geographic

    footprints, leverage similar technology stacks, and have similar Quality Improvement

    approaches.

    THREATS

  • 7/30/2019 Final Spachno Bpo

    13/71

    Risk is the major drawback with Business Process Outsourcing. Outsourcing of an

    Information System, for example, can cause security risks both from a communication

    and from a privacy perspective. For example, security of North American or European

    company data is more difficult to maintain when accessed or controlled in the Sub-

    Continent. From a knowledge perspective, a changing attitude in employees,

    underestimation of running costs and the major risk of losing independence, outsourcing

    leads to a different relationship between an organization and its contractor.

    Risks and threats of outsourcing must therefore be managed, to achieve any benefits. In

    order to manage outsourcing in a structured way, maximizing positive outcome,

    minimizing risks and avoiding any threats, a Business continuity management (BCM)

    model is set up. BCM consists of a set of steps, to successfully identify, manage and

    control the business processes that are, or can be outsourced.

    Another framework, more focused on the identification process of potential outsourcing

    able Information Systems, identified as AHP, is explained.

    L. Willcocks, M. Lacity and G. Fitzgerald identify several contracting problems

    companies face, ranging from unclear contract formatting, to a lack of understanding of

    technical IT- processes.

    What is the difference between a call centre and a SPANCHO organization

    A Business Process Outsourcing (SPANCHO) organization is responsible for performing

    a process or a part of a process of another business organization; outsourcing is done to

    save on costs or gain in productivity.

    A call centre performs that part of a client's business which involves handling telephone

    calls. A call centre, for example, might handle customer complaints coming in over a

    telephone.

    Few of the motivation factors as to why SPANCHO is gaining ground are:

    # Factor Cost Advantage

    # Economy of Scale

    # Business Risk Mitigation

    # Superior Competency

    # Utilization Improvement

    Why Outsourcing from India?

    The Business Process Outsourcing (SPANCHO) industry in India has been growing 70

    percent a year and is now worth $1.6 billion, employing 100,000 people. And as

    McKinsey analysts put it, SPANCHO has to grow only 27% till 2008 to deliver $17

    billion in revenue and employment of a million people.

    Why is the SPANCHO attrition rate so high?

    That the Indian SPANCHO companies suffer from the chronic problem of a high attrition

    rate is a given. The question is why is the rate so high? And what can we do about it. The

    Organization recently completed its 2008 "SPANCHO Sector Special Survey," which

    attempts to answer these questions.

    The study focused on the compensation and benefits of almost 39,000 Indian jobs in the

    SPANCHO sector. The Key findings of the study were:

    -- The salary structure is not competitive in SPANCHO firms as compared to the rest of

    the Indian market.

    -- The short-term variable component was just 4% last year while the rest of India's

    workers enjoyed 10%. Such a low figure does not give any scope in creating incentive

    programs to encourage employees to work harder or stay at the Organization.

    -- The attrition rate at SPANCHOs last year was 23.5% compared to 15% in the general

    market. -- The benefits package mainly focused on retirement benefits, which clearly

    does not mean much of an incentive for a 20 year old. The employee gets the money at

    age 60. So retirement benefits like PF do not encourage employees to stay at one

    company.

    Organization stated that companies need to learn from the findings of the study and create

    more realistic pay policies and more aligned to the employee expectations. Companies

    need to focus on the take-home pay and offer a higher rate if performance-based

  • 7/30/2019 Final Spachno Bpo

    18/71

    incentives if they hope to retain talent. The study also suggested innovative options like

    stock options or deferred and retention bonuses if money was tight.

    The need for a more focused approach to career planning was also clearly highlighted.

    Employees will stay longer when they see that they can move up to a better job at the

    same company. The report suggested sponsoring post-graduate education programs for

    employees and this in turn will lock the employee into the Organization.

    Other findings of the study were:

    -- Many SPANCHO workers use the money they earn to fund a post-graduate degree.

    -- The SPANCHO work is attractive to younger workers giving them a new-found

    freedom and a unique lifestyle.

    -- Many of the jobs are monotonous. The Organization suggests cross-training employees

    in other processes to provide a respite.

    Key To success

    The key to success in ramping up talent in a SPANCHO environment is a rapid training

    module. The training component has to be seen as an important sub-process, requiring

    constant re-engineering. Business Process Outsourcing: The Top Rankers WNS has

    emerged as the top SPANCHO in India, pushing Wipro Spectra mind to the second

    position, according to a survey done by NASSCOM. The basis of ranking is the revenues

    generated by the SPANCHO companies in 2003-04, as per US GAAP. A list of top

    fifteen SPANCHO companies in India is given below.

    In spite of all these benefits, the attrition rate in SPANCHO industry is very high, why?

    What is the reason for an employee to leave? These and many more are the questions that

    need immediate attention from the industrial gurus.

  • 7/30/2019 Final Spachno Bpo

    25/71

    Why people prefer to join SPANCHOs?

    In general a person with any graduation can join any of the SPANCHO. Some

    SPANCHOs like to take people with MBA but then again the specialization are of an

    individual hardly makes any difference. Again, this is the industry; where there is no

    reference checks and very often people do not even specify there exact age. Lets me share

    with you some of the reasons as why people prefer to join a SPANCHO:

    Did not get a better job. Find nothing better to do. Education level does not matter Good

    work environment Good Benefits Flexibility of time Attractive life style Transport

    Why people leave the SPANCHOs?

    When there are so many benefits associated with SPANCHO industry.

    when there is so many privileges for the SPANCHO employees than what makes them to

    change the company/industry??

    Is it only MONEY that matters or anything else as well??

    Here are some of the reasons for a SPANCHO professional to change his/her job.

    No growth opportunity/lack of promotion For higher Salary For Higher education

    Misguidance by the company Policies and procedures are not conducive No personal life

    Physical strains Uneasy relationship with peers or managers What they have to say?

    With so much of uncertainty in the market

    People are trying their best to stop or to at least have a control on the attrition rate

    Let me share with you the opinion of the real gurus of the industry.

    "Training is a very important aspect of the ITES-SPANCHO industry"- Mr. Arjun

    Vaznaik, COO, Tracmail

    RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

    The marketing research has been defined by so many different authors in so many

    different ways. The American Marketing Association defines marketing research as

    follows:

    Marketing Research is the function which links the consumers, employees and public to

    the market through the information information used to intensify and defines marketing

    opportunities and problems, generate, refine and evaluate marketing actions, monitor

    marketing performance and improved understanding of marketing as a process.

    Marketing research specifies the information required to address these issues; designs

    made for collecting the informations; manages and implements the data collection

    process; analyses the results; and communicates the findings and their implications.

    Several characteristics of modern business encourage the use marketing research

    business.

    Marketing research is used during different phases of administrative process:

    1. Setting goals and establishing strategies.

    2. Developing a marketing plan.

    3. Putting the plan into action.

    4. Evaluating the plans effectiveness.

    Sampling

    When fields study are undertaken in practical life, consideration of time and cost almost

    invariably lead to a selection of respondents, i.e., selection of only few items. The

    respondents selected should be representative of the total population as possible in order

  • 7/30/2019 Final Spachno Bpo

    43/71

    to produce a miniature cross section. The selected respondents constitute a Sample and

    the selection procedure is called Sampling Technique. The survey so conducted is

    known as Sample Survey.

    It should represent not only the total population characteristics but also the various sub

    classes of the population. The validity of findings would also depend upon how people

    willingly and correctly report of their opinion, attitude, preferences, and favorableness.

    Different Types of Sample Design

    There are different types of sample designs based on two factors, i.e., the representation

    basis and the element selection technique. On representation basis, the sample may be

    probability sampling or it may be non-probability sampling. On element selection basis,

    the sample may be either unrestricted selection technique or restricted selection

    technique.

    Thus, the sample designs are basically of two types, i.e., non-probability samplingand

    probability sampling.

    Error: Reference source not found

  • 7/30/2019 Final Spachno Bpo

    44/71

    Steps in Sampling Design

    While developing a sampling design, the researcher must pay attention to the following

    points:

    1. Type of Universe - The first step in developing any sample design is to clearly

    define the set of objects, technically called the universe. The universe can be

    finite or infinite. In finite universe the number of items is certain, but in case of

    infinite universe the number of items is infinite, i.e., we cannot have any idea

    about the total number of items.

    2. Sampling Unit A decision has to be taken concerning a sampling unit before

    selecting sample, sampling unit may be geographical one such as state, district,

    village etc., or a construction unit such as house, flat, etc., or it may be a social

    unit such as family, club, school etc., or it may be an individual.

    3. Source list It is also known as sampling frame from which sample is to be

    drawn. It contains the names of all items of the universe (in case of finite

    universe only). If source list is not available researcher has to prepare it. It is

    extremely important for source list to be representative of the population as

    possible.

    4. Size of Sample This refers to the number of items to be selected from the

    universe to constitute a sample. The size of sample should neither be extremely

    large, nor too small. It should be optimum. An optimum sample is one, which

    fulfills the requirements of efficiency, representativeness, reliability and

    flexibility.

  • 7/30/2019 Final Spachno Bpo

    45/71

    5. Parameters of Interest In determining the sample design, one must consider

    the question of the specific population parameters, which are of interest. There

    may also be important sub groups in the population about whom we like to

    make estimates. All this has strong impact upon the sample design we would

    accept.

    6. Budgetary Constraint Cost considerations, from practical point of view,

    have a major impact upon decisions relating to not only the size of the sample

    but also to the type of sample.

    7. Sampling Procedure Finally, the researcher must decide the type of sample

    he will use i.e., he must decide about the technique to be used in selecting the

    items for the sample. There are several sample designs. Obviously, he must

    select that design which, for given sample size and for a given cost, has smaller

    sampling errors.

    Types of Data and Methods of Data Collection

    The most important part of any research is collection of data. The task of data collection

    begins after the research problem has been defined. While deciding about the method of

    data collection to be used for the study, the researcher should keep in mind that the data

    are of two types:

    Primary Data: Primary may be described as those data that have been observed and

    recorded by the researchers for the first time to their knowledge, and thus happen to be

    original in character.

    Secondary Data: Secondary data are statistics not gathered for the immediate study at

    hand but for some other purposes.

    Research Design

    There are three types of research

    Exploratory Research

    Descriptive Research

    Casual Research

    I have used "Exploratory research design

    The basis of my research was primary data which I collected from 50 peoples i.e. sample

    size in the service centre through Questionnaire.

    Main Aspects While Preparing Questionnaire

    Questionnaire is often considered as the heart of survey operation. It is the method of

    obtaining specific information about a defined problem so that the data, after analysis

    and interpretation, results in better appreciation of the problem. Hence great care has

    to be taken in constructing it. This requires studying main aspects of the

    questionnaire:

    1. Form of the Questionnaire: mainly the general form of the questionnaire is

    concerned it can be either structured or unstructured. The questionnaire preferred

    by me was structural in nature I preferred this format because all the questions

    were definite, concrete, and pre-determined, comments in the respondents own

    words was held to be minimum.

    2. Determine the Type of Question to use: Before working on the wording of each

    question, they must decide on type of question to use. There are three main

    types of questions from least structured to most structured are:

    Open Questions

    Multiple questions

    Dichotomous.

    3. Deciding on Wordings of Question: Wordings of each question

    should be thoroughly examined. Following points should be kept in mind while

    preparing questionnaire:

    Define the issue

  • 7/30/2019 Final Spachno Bpo

    48/71

    Should the question be subjective or objective

    Positive or negative statement

    Use simple words

    Avoid ambiguous questions

    Avoid leading questions

    4. Decide on Question Sequence: Once the wording has been determined. it is

    necessary to set them up in some order. The sequence can influence the results obtained.

    A questionnaire has three major sections:

    Basic information

    Classical information

    Identification Information

    I paid proper attention to the wordings of question as well as on the sequence of the

    questions since reliable and meaningful returns depend on it, to the large extent. The

    important steps that I took in choosing the words are as follows:

    Simple words, which are familiar to all the respondents, were employed.

    Words with ambiguous meanings were avoided.

    Danger words catch words or words with emotional connotations were

    also avoided.

    Caution was exercised in the use of phrases, which reflect upon the

    prestige of respondent.

    Findings

    1. In my analysis the performance of Organization is varying from area to are because of

    its employee attrition rate is so higher and many other companies.

    2. In my analysis around more then 70% people says that Organization attrition rate

    service is good in SPANCHO sector and rest are people says no comment.

    3. Organization provided its service to its employee when ever they need and also where

    ever the need with the help of employee attrition rates.

    Conclusion

    This is a descriptive report on SPANCHO industry. I have tried to cover almost

    everything related to the industry. I like to have your opinion about the same. Even at the

    end of this comprehensive report, my concerns are related to development of employees

    in SPANCHO, controlling attrition rate in SPANCHO, can we have some standard

    industrial compensation package/ break-ups?

    Recommendation

    During the survey I come to know about some short coming of Organization. This

    shortcoming can be removed with the help of following suggestion and help

    Organization.

    1. Promotional program conducted the company should be on large scale for the

    employee with improved visual aids.

    2. Company should increase the personal contact with the employee because they

    have some problems that can be solved by the Organization staff only.

    3. For youngsters Organization should provide some free services.

    4. Organization should appoint few more celebrities for advertisement.

    Limitations

    1. Most of the employees were so furious that they refused to part with any

    information.

    2. Forms distributed to the respondents could not be completed by them due to

    lack of time and interest.

    3. Many responses were incomplete, if considered those could have skewed the

    actual findings and results of the survey

    4. Some respondent filled the form without showing any interest

    .

    5. Some respondent gave negative response
