Is the boss to blame for employee exits?

The Rules of the Game are changing. Somebody who was forced to quit because his boss did not fancy the nose he was looking at may cheer up with the news that HR managers now believe that retention of subordinates is now a key result area (KRA) for supervisors. So, an unacceptable attrition rate in a team could mean a “negative” mark for its leader during appraisal.
“Make retention a KRA of supervisors. If you can’t retain, it’s a negative point for the supervisor,” suggested Sanjeev Bikhchandani, founder and CEO, Naukri.com, one of the panelists at the HR Summit organised by Hindustan Times in New Delhi on Thursday. It is often said that people don’t leave companies or jobs. They leave managers.

New HR nurtures ambitions

Do you think your HR manager creates a smokescreen of appraisals, designations and jargonised joining letters? Such tricks may be among the reasons why companies struggle to attract and retain talent. According to a survey conducted by Shine.com, Hindustan Times' job search portal, talent  acquisition and employee engagement are the biggest challenges that Indian headhunters face, even in these  times of slowdown on Job Street.
To handle growing attrition, industry experts are being forced to think afresh. "HR departments should stop acting like cops, if they are interested in retaining talent," said Vineet Nayar, vice- chairman, HCL Technologies, speaking at the second edition of the Hindustan Times-Shine HR Summit. "The HR expert should not be a fall guy who follows top management and stakeholders' decisions. The new manager is the one who is embedded within the workforce."
Young job-seekers are interested in organisations that create aspirations among employees.
"Let even your peon grow, if he is ready; he will create channels for success-hungry workers," said Dilip Shenoy, managing director, National Skill Development Corporation.
But obviously, monetary benefits cannot be delinked from job profiles. "The new wave of job-seekers is particular about the clarity of objectives and regulations," said Rakesh Upadhyay, chairman, BSNL. "Perhaps, they feel at ease when they know the prescribed format and norms."
