CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION
Although committed and loyal employees are the most influential factor to becoming
an employer of choice, it's no surprise that companies and organizations face
significant challenges in developing energized and engaged workforces. However,
there is plenty of research to show that increased employee commitment and trust in
leadership can positively impact the company's bottom line. In fact, the true potential
of an organization can only be realized when the productivity level of all individuals
and teams are fully aligned, committed and energized to successfully accomplish the
goals of the organization.
2
As a result, the goal of every company should be to improve the desire of employees
to stay in the relationship they have with the company. When companies understand
and manage employee loyalty - rather than retention specifically - they can reap
benefits on both sides of the balance sheet i.e., revenues and costs. On the revenue
side of the balance sheet, loyal and committed employees are more likely to go
"above and beyond" to meet customer needs and are highly motivated to work to the
best of their ability.
On the cost side, loyal employees stay longer, resist competitive job offers, do not
actively look for other employment and recommend the company to others as a good
place to work. These four behaviors positively influence the cost side of the balance
sheet.
In other words, rather than focusing only on retention (that is, trying to retain
employees who have already decided to leave), organizations should proactively
recognize the benefits of understanding, managing and improving employee
satisfaction. The most successful organizations are those that can adapt their
organizational behavior to the realities of the current work environment where
success is dependent upon innovation, creativity and flexibility.
Include opportunities for personal growth and invest heavily in the professional
development of the best people in the organization.
3
Acknowledge non-work priorities by recognizing and responding to
employees' needs for greater balance in their lives, since employees will
develop loyalty for organizations that respect them as individuals, not just as
workers.
A company is only as strong and successful as its members, its employees, are. By
measuring employee satisfaction in key areas, organizations can gain the
information needed to improve employee satisfaction, retention, and productivity.
However, a recent study by the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM)
indicated that often the HR department's perceptions of employee satisfaction versus
the true measure of employee satisfaction are not always in sync
.
Employees who aren’t satisfied with their jobs are very likely to leave. If they don’t
leave they can become a source of bad morale and do a great deal of harm in the
organization. In many cases employers without proper data will assume the wrong
4
reasons for employee dissatisfaction. Many bosses will automatically think that
money is the top reason for leaving a job. Wouldn’t it be better to have real data and
react accordingly?
Surveying employees on a regular basis is a great way to stay in touch with the
pulse of the business. Before launching a survey though it is important to establish
the ground rules
.
Many employees will be unwilling to express their honest feelings if they think they
will be singled out. Make sure that the surveys are conducted with anonymity. Be
certain to have the support of company management all the way to the top.
Employees want to know that the leadership is behind the survey and that their
response will be taken seriously.
Explain that employee comments are important to the company. State what will be
done with the results. And then live up to those statements. Employees will become
doubtful of management’s intentions if they don’t follow through.
There are many resources to assist companies in the survey process. However most
human resource managers are very capable of designing and conducting their own
employee satisfaction survey.
The need to survey is greater when one or more of the following factors are present.
Excessive rumors
A strong rumor mill is symptomatic of other problems in the organization. These can
include communications, trust, and fear. Only a survey can uncover the extent to
which any of these issues exists. In a highly competitive industry, turnover
minimization and productivity and creativity maximization are keys to success.
Staying in touch with employees is necessary to facilitate continued competitiveness.
Planned or recent organizational changes, including change of leadership. Change
can be difficult for many people. If not handled properly, productivity and profits can
decline.
5
Contemplated changes in pay and benefits
You must know what needs to be "fixed" and how much "fixing" it needs to maximize
return on invested money and people resources.

in information technology and business outsourcing. Correspondingly, the industry’s
contribution to India’s GDP has gone up significantly from 1.8% in FY00 to around
5.4% in FY07.The sector has been growing at a CAGR of 30.3% since FY04.
11
the industry are mainly from growth, in view of changes in the economic and
business environment, rapid technological innovation and wide utilisation of internet
and globalisation. The market has become more competitive and has forced
corporations to take innovating and unique ways of doing business’s. Service
industry has also entered into a new era with the growing acceptance of IT based
services.
As per NASSCOM, Indian IT Services both domestic and exports market grew from
US$10.4 bn in FY04 to US$ 23.6 bn in FY07. During this period, its contribution to
the total IT industry has gone up marginally from around 48.2% to 49.4%.The
project oriented IT services contributed around 57.9% in FY07, while outsourcing IT
services accounted for around 32.8% of the total revenues of IT services segment
in India.
Within the ITeS-BPO segment, Customer Interaction Services (CIS) accounted for
nearly 45-46% of the total ITeS-BPO services exports while finance & accounting
contributed for roughly around 40-41%. Human resource and other high-end
knowledge-based processes account for 3% and 11% respectively.
The Software product, Engineering services and R&D segment contributed over
13.8% of the total IT industry in FY07. In addition to this, Indian companies offering
these services, several foreign companies (both captive and third party) are also
setting up base in India to provide these services. Overseas companies operating in
sectors like high–tech, telecommunications, automobile, aerospace, heavy
machinery, construction and industrial products are looking at off-shoring their
engineering and R&D related work to India.
While the global IT players are aggressively scaling up their operations in India, due
to the advantages that the Indian industry offers, the Indian IT companies are also
12
preparing to tap the global market. The companies are witnessing significant
change with regard to their service offerings and geographical concentration.
Today, companies are expanding their service offerings from application
development and maintenance to high end services like testing, consulting and
engineering designing. The global delivery model has not only facilitated the
companies in delivering quality of work but also helped them to control costs.
Over the years, the Indian companies have positioned themselves well to reap
benefits of the emerging scenario in the IT sector.
The Indian IT companies are expanding their service offerings to provide a complete
basket of services to their clients. These new services include IT consulting, testing,
business process management and IT infrastructure services, IT consulting, which
in a way allows the IT companies to de-risk their business from pricing pressures
and enter into newer areas which provide them higher growth and profitability.
Cost arbitrage and the availability of a large talent pool has attracted several MNCs
to India. Big players like IBM, Accenture, Google, Yahoo, Capgemini and Oracle
among others have not only increased their headcounts in India but also
outperformed their global performance in terms of revenue growth. Their Indian
operations are witnessing strong growth as compared to their global business.
Emerging Markets:
In terms of geographical contribution, the US continues to remain the key market for
Indian IT companies, accounting for 67.2% of the total IT-ITeS exports from India.
However, Europe is also emerging as an important market for the Indian IT industry,
considering the fact that the share of exports to Europe from India increased from
22.2% in FY03 to 25.1% in FY07. Indian companies are increasingly enlarging their
footprints to countries in Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Asia Pacific region.
Mergers and acquisitions has been one of the routes that the Indian companies
have adopted to enhance their presence in European markets.
There has been a change in the revenue composition of companies in recent years.
The revenue contribution of high-growth segments such as infrastructure
13
management services, package implementation, testing & consulting has been
witnessing rapid growth over the last couple of years. These, newer service lines
are not only enabling Indian companies to increase their sales by cross-selling to
their existing customers, but also improve their average billing rates and recognition
of being end-to-end service providers. These segments are experiencing high
growth rates over the last couple of years. However, the Custom Application
Development and Maintenance (CADM) services continue to contribute a larger
share towards IT services segment revenue. The CADM accounted for around
39.6% to the total IT services segment revenue of US$23.6 bn in FY07, and it
witnessed a growth rate of 35.3% in the same period.
New End-users:
Indian IT industry has been witnessing several issues and challenges which may
deter the growth in future, despite the fact that demand conditions have been
optimistic. Therefore, companies must adopt best practices to address those issues
in order to sustain the current growth momentum. Several larged and mid sized
companies are taking innovative measures to address those issues, for example, in
view continuous rupee appreciation against the US dollar, the companies are keen
to expand their business to other emerging markets like Europe, Asia Pacific region,
Middle East etc.
14
higher than 11.2% recorded in FY06; the attrition rate at Satyam declined
from 19.2% in FY06 to 15.7% in FY07; whereas the rate at Wipro witnessed a
surge to 17.4% as against 14.6% during the previous fiscal, in its global IT
services and product business.
In India, Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) is the fastest growing segment of the
ITES (Information Technology Enabled Services) industry. Factors such as economy
of scale, business risk mitigation, cost advantage, utilization improvement and
superior competency have all lead to the growth of the Indian BPO industry.
Business process outsourcing in India, which started around the mid-90s, has now
grown by leaps and bounds.
15
India is now the world's favored market for BPO companies, among other
competitors, such as, Australia, China, Philippines and Ireland. The BPO boom in
India is credited to cheap labor costs and India's huge talent pool of skilled, English-
speaking professionals. Research by the National Association of Software Services
and Companies (NASSCOM) has revealed that quality orientation among leading
BPO companies, 24/7 services, India's unique geographic location and the investor
friendly tax structure in India have all made the BPO industry in India very popular.

OBJECTIVES
The first step of any research project is to define the problem that is to be
answered by the research project itself. This is the most important part of the
research process, as it provides a focus and direction for the project and identifies
the specific information the reader is looking at in the project.
Actually, research objectives enable the reader to understand exactly what
the project is attempting to achieve. If the definition of problem is unclear and
objectives are poorly defined, the result could be waste of time, money, energy and
resources. In short, research objective is a pre-requisite for any research
project.
There should be a clear-cut definition of research objectives. Our project,
therefore, is not an exception. Our research project-A study on the satisfaction
level of employees working in BPOs and Call Centers in WIPRO Ltd., has
certain specific and general objectives which mainly consist of primary objectives
and secondary objectives.
They are as follows:
18
Primary Objectives:
To measure the employees’ job satisfaction level working in BPOs and call
centers in WIPRO Ltd.
To identify the factors that influence job satisfaction level of employees
working in BPOs and call centers
Secondary Objectives:
To identify the obstacles faced by them in their job environment
To assess the Policies and Procedures that will have an impact on employee’s job
satisfaction

To identify the factors that influence job satisfaction level of employees

Secondary Objectives:
To identify the obstacles faced by them in their job environment
To assess the Policies and Procedures that will have an impact on
employee’s job satisfaction purpose. These interviews were based on a structured
questionnaire that has been put up in the appendix in this report.
The process of cross checking was also used to ensure the authenticity of the
data and validation of the interviews both formal as well as informal one. Every
attempt was made to ensure that their response do not get influence by their
management and environment.
We have used the Job Descriptive Index (JDI), created by Smith, Kendall, & Hulin
(1969) which measures one’s satisfaction in five facets: pay, promotions and promotion
opportunities, coworkers, supervision, and the work itself.
20
energy and resources, and if it is small, it doesn’t make any sense of practical use in
making good decisions. So, the sample should be taken in such a way that it can
bring fair, accurate level of accuracy and unbiased results.
The objective of taking sample was to obtain desirable level of accuracy and
confidence with minimum of cost, time, and energy.
A random sample size of 400 employees and 10 H.R.offcials were taken for the
survey purpose. H.R. official survey was needed to verify the response received from
the employees.
DATA COLLECTION:
Data gathering is a very important part of the research project process. It is through
data, with the help of which we would be able to analyze the problem in terms of
facts and figures.
Actually, the reliability of research decisions depends on the quality of data
gathered. By taking this concept into consideration, the data can be classified into
primary data and secondary data. We have used both the types of data, as far as our
project is concerned.
Secondary Data:
These are those data which are collected from the various sources which
have been already created for the purpose of first time use and future use.
We have used the following secondary data in our project:
Internet
Journals
Magazines
Publications, Articles and Research Papers done before
From various Organizations
Research instrument:
The researcher has used a structured questionnaire as a research instrument tool
for which consists of open ended questions, multiple choice nd dichotomous
questions in order to get data. Thus, questionnaire is the data collection instrument
used in the study. All the questions in the questionnaire are organised in such a
way that elicit all the relevant information that is needed for the study.

Analysis:
Nearly half (50%) of the employees work in the call centre fall under
the category of Rs.300-6000. It may be due to poor financial
conditions and also, the education level doesn’t matter in other job
As the attrition rate is high in this industry, it also result in lower
initial salary for the employees, because employees will have to
accept the salary which ranges mainly from 3000 to 6000 Rupees in
Wipro
37% of employees falls under the category of salary income of Rs.
6000-9000 which can be said to be a standard in this industry but
the percentage of which is very low, leading to the conclusion,

Nearly 15% of employees receive their salary in 5 digits which

experienced one
Analysis:
The chart was thought out to reflect employees working period and
their monthly payment
24
This chart shows that how employees seniority and pay scale are
related-As employee gets senior in the organization, his/her salary
increases
The most surprising result, we find is that nearly 50% of employees fall
under the very first category of less than 1 year getting a monthly
salary of Rs.3000-6000
This shows high attrition rate(the rate at which employees leave the
organizations) and exploitation of candidates
It also reveals that, in Wipro, only 16% of employees receive their
salary in between 9000 and above falling under a seniority of more
than 2-3 years spending in the organization

Analysis:
The question was purposed to identify whether is there any impact
on motivation level of employees by these monetary and non
monetary benefits
As the chart indicates that 87% of employees responded positively
meaning there is a significant correlation between employee
satisfaction and monetary and non monetary benefits
This also leads to conclusion that system of incentives, rewards and
motivational concepts in the organizations matter to maintain the
motivation level of employees
Significant(80%) amount of employee have responded positively
which indirectly tells us that satisfaction level of employees is
impacted, but as the analysis of above question revealed that only
30% non monetary benefits are provided to the employees where
as significantly lower amount of monetary benefits in the form
bonus(49%) and overtime are provided to the employees.

working in the organization.
Analysis:
As many as 95% of employees responded positively saying that they
are happy working in the organization and are more or less satisfied
Only a very small parentage of employees replied negatively who might
be having some or the other problems relating to monetary aspects or
the environment concerns which may be dug out and their resistance
should be identified to make them satisfied
To dig out the level of satisfaction, we asked further question which
reveals the more insight about their satisfaction level

Almost 33% said that they are highly satisfied with the organization
While the remaining 8% were least satisfied
Analysis:
The question was purposed to identify the level of satisfaction of
employees who are satisfied(from among 380 employees)
As far as satisfaction is concerned, as the above question revealed that
95% of employees are satisfied working within the organizations but
when asked actually about the level of satisfaction, it reveals that
majority(nearly 60% of employees) of them are satisfied on average
basis
Only 3% of employees say that the satisfaction level of them is very
low inferring that they are least satisfied, not up to the level it should
be
Those who are highly satisfied belongs to 33%, which doesn’t have any
issue regarding their satisfaction working in the organizations

There were only 4% who were disagreeing, and nobody falls under the
category of “strongly Disagree”
Analysis:
The chart shows that out of 100%, more than half 53% are strongly
agree that the company is very open to ideas and suggestions given by
employees meaning caring for employees suggestions and their
recommendations
They believe that company approaches very friendly to the employee’s
suggestions and their ideas and actually implement it in the
organization, if it is concrete in nature

in the company and almost 1.5% said that it is very bad
Analysis:
As the chart indicates, majority of employees(nearly 80%) are agree
that the environment within which they work is positive and makes
them to work and leads to their motivation and satisfaction in the
organizations
The employee who replied to “Negative” is nearly 13%, which makes
us to infer that the factors that creates negative environment prevail in
the organization
7% of employees came up with the opinion that the environment in the
organization is such that it creates stress within them, may be because
of the pressure and the load of the work, call handling or the travelling
stress or the way they interact with their subordinates and colleagues

CHAPTER-4 RECOMMENDATIONS & CONCLUSIONS
The research was aimed at identifying the factors that influence the satisfaction level
of employees working in BPOs and Call centers. We, as a group hereby would like
to conclude our research by saying that employee satisfaction is not the result of
only one or two factor. But it is sourced from various factors like working environment
within which they work, relations with their colleagues, supervisors, bosses, and rest
of the employees, their expectation when they join the organization and the
realization of the same and many more what we have highlighted in our project).
It’s a result of these factors mentioned above that plays major role in determination
of the satisfaction level of employee. Employee is motivated and get satisfied not
because only what they perceive and what they realize after joining, but it is their
belief, values and the way of working along with their attitude towards organization
and work that we think, put major emphasis in determining the satisfaction level of
employees. Though it is agreed that a very modern, educated, youth oriented and
sophisticated industry like BPOs and Call centers, employees tend to believe what
they think is more rewarding and shining for them, is appropriate and a growth
fuelling for them. We think employees are what they think and believe in, beyond a
point.We here do believe that satisfaction level of employees is going up in this
industry, but challenges remain at the same level. Organizations and HR team will
have to work hard to convert a dissatisfied or less dissatisfied employee into a more
satisfied, motivated and a result oriented employee. Satisfaction level of employees
can be increased by taking into account various stets and programs along with
concrete policies, this major problems of this kind, we think, can be lowered down.
Also recommendation of ours can be a great help to this industry.
48
Timings of working:
In our research, we find that there is no fix timing of the shifts to a
particular employee. It means that the shift timings change every
fortnight or every week. This kind of changes in time really becomes
difficult for the employees to adjust their routine schedule every fortnight
or every week. So, recommend that there should be fix timing of shifts to
the employees for working. Also, interchange the role of the employee
like inbound call representative to outbound call representative to reduce
the stress and timings adjustments
49
How to tackle the problems of Stressful and Negative
environment?
We find that in some organization there prevails environment like
negative and stressful which really demotivates and dissatisfies
employees. To tackle this problems, we recommend:
To reduce the stress, the company should interchange the
shifts from day to night and night to day
Travel timing creates lots of stress at the work so the
company should hire the employee within the nearest area
otherwise they should provide travelling service
Define organizational structure very well so that every
employee can understand their responsibility and the
problems of negative environment can be removed by
interpersonal behavior
Have some recreational canteen facility(Like motif
provides), Seasonal celebrations, and picnic or stress
removing activities
Give transport facility to the employee to reduce the stress at
work
50
Regular evaluation and performance appraisal- to tackle the
problems of average satisfaction
Majority of the employees fall under the category of average satisfaction
in the rating scale. So the company should be aware about the kind of
other problems or challenges which are still remaining to the employee
and in the organization as a whole. Companies should conduct survey
system and get the proper feedback about the problems and other
opinions. Informal interaction and interviews can be a great help.
Suggestion boxes and employees feedback system should be
implemented
