The war for talent has intensified and organizations are using every rule in the book to retain the competitive advantage of skilled workforce. However do you feel that it’s fair to have clauses in terms of agreement in order to restrain employees from making career moves?
After all when the high demand for a particular talent/skill may remains only for a specific period of time, so why not let them make hay when Sun shines.
I’m sure HR folks will disagree. But in a perfectly competitive market labor is mobile and most of the organizations today believe in buying skills rather than developing skills.
Large and established organizations typically have large training facilities and spend on developing quality manpower. However some prefers to adopt the buy strategy and are willing to pay extra for folks with some experience and training. This situation presents a unique challenge to HR in all organizations.
Typically any country which grows at a fast pace but fails to develop adequate infrastructure to develop skilled manpower faces such talent crunch. Indian software talent is one such example in case. This war is likely to get worse in the days to come as global supremacy will depend on the talent pool of the country.
