Situation Analysis
Infosys , the IT firm established in 1981 and the posterchild of India’s startups, during the late 1990s it
was growing at a rapid rate with huge growth. That was a also accompanied by an ever increasing
number of employees on the payroll.
Infosys was an employee centric firm and had taken consistent steps to ensure employee retention and
welfare. It was ranked number one in 2001 and 2002 as the Best Employer by Business Today, but as
a rude shock it fell off the list in the 2003.
As Infosys became more process oriented, the projects made the employees do the repetitive tasks
hindering their creativity and self growth, and also felt that they were not being adequately
compensated. Often times, the managers were unaware of the plight of the junior level employees.
The HR had undertaken major policy changes in a short period of time, to combat the issues. However
this was carried out with poor communication by the managers and an extreme lack of clarity with
regards to the policies.
These actions led to spreading employee dissatisfaction and led large scale employee turnover
especially during expanding operations.
