NEW DELHI: IT services major HCL Technologies is engaging closely with clients to prioritise work, and shifting some workload from India to other geographies to ensure business continuity as the country grappling with record-high COVID cases. The company, which expects its FY22 revenues to clock double-digit growth in constant currency, is also ramping its efforts to ensure employees and their families get access to necessary health services amid the second wave of the pandemic.
BENGALURU: HCL Technologies has offered a skill-based allowance of 25-30% of their CTC (cost-to-company) to about 16,000 employees. “These are skills where customers are paying a premium and we are passing it on to the employees. Over the years the number of people who qualify for this allowance has seen a steady increase. It’s a narrow segment, and that skill has to be in demand,” said Apparao V V, chief HR officer.
It introduced skill-based allowances some three years ago. The C Vijayakumar- led HCL has identified 25-30 hot skills.
“Based on 18 months data, we have geared up our engine in terms of certifying and training these people so that we can fulfil a large part of the demand internally. If 100 positions are required, we can fulfil 55 positions internally,” Apparao said.
