The grass is greener on the other side, human resources managers
may soon start hearing, what with attrition rates starting to go up
again. Indian companies, having successfully survived the
recession, are reviving their war for talent. As per local news
reports, the IT/ITES industry alone is looking to recruit over
100,000 candidates.
From a retention standpoint, HR managers may be a worried lot.
Several talented employees may just be updating their CVs and some
of them may be in possession of critical confidential information
(CI) and trade secrets, especially in relation to ongoing projects.
This brings on the concept of garden leave, first adopted in
England with the intention of protecting an organisation from
disclosure of CI by the departing employee.
