Indian employees unethical @ work
By
siliconindia news bureau
Bangalore: Call it 'ethical erosion'. Majority of the Indian employees have no qualm in finishing their personal work during the office hours. They are even ready to resort to any unethical means to get competitor information, says a workplace ethics survey released by staffing company Teamlease.
Almost 62 percent respondents would use any means to get competitor information, while 63 percent had no problem in doing personal work in office. The survey involved employees from India's top 500 companies across eight cities with a sample size of 401.
The extent of the moral and ethical degradation among today's employees was more exposed when 62 percent of the respondents thought it was normal to bribe someone to get work done.
In the study, Kolkata emerged as a highly ethics-conscious city with an ethics index of 76 percent followed by Delhi at 53 percent while Ahmedabad scored the lowest (21 percent). A majority of the respondents in Bangalore did not mind taking unfair credit for subordinates' ideas. In the IT capital, an average of 70 percent of the respondents enjoyed indulging in gossip under the garb of networking. And also nearly 80 percent of respondents did not bat an eyelid when it came to carrying office stationery home. However, Bangaloreans felt that open lines of communication could keep unethical behavior at the workplace in check, as 33.33 percent were unaware of their own company's ethical policy.
The survey gave a more nasty jolt to the so called ethics when it revealed that over 50 percent of employees do not worry too much about fudging expenses reports, lying to take leave or using office resources for personal work like taking print outs or making photocopies.
According to Teamlease, the survey attempted to uncover the 'hidden truth' of Indian workplace ethics. "Companies are today getting better at defining non-negotiables but not interfering in trivia," said Surabhi Mathur, general manager, permanent staffing, TeamLease Services.
The study, commissioned by TeamLease Services, was conducted by research firm Synovate.

I strongly that Indians are best known for their diligence and assidious and
above mentioned are true no doubt but very petty thing which cannot stand with
the contribution made by them at the workplace.

One suggestion to everyone.... When we are running our own business and If an
employee does some unethical work how do we feel?????????? I think everyone has
the answer ..... So stop negative attitude and consider your work as your own
business and be an enthical human being.

This is true but not only for Indians but for specially IT employees all over
The surevey should have been evenly spread over all industry.
The maximum output also is from indians and if output is faster which means
should be paid more which is not the case so employee get tempted to do other
work.

the work culture is growing in a different way. employees are given access to
company network and made to work as and when needed by menas of laptops and
blackberry. so there is no office time and home time any more and hence an
employee has every right to do some personal work at office. any ways the
current industry scenario is like anyone under performing is fired and hence if
any employee has to stay then he has to perform. so doing personal work dosent
affect the organization

i have worked in the UK for 3 1/2 years and its the same there too..Every
employee does personal work during office hours. The title is really Bizzare.
You forgot to mention that Indian Employees are the most productive
(cost-effective) ,flexible and quick learning lot , and i see no company making
qualms about this..why you?. As per my knowledge , all companies set-up in
Hyderabad have got their free land and eminities by paying a bribe ..so why
blame the employees who want to do te same for getting their work done..Anyway
thats what i think

Interesting fact-finding. Here are some comments.
1. This is not something unknown to the companies and they don't mind it. In
fact, this is known the entire industry and hence for me, this is reinventing
the wheel.
2. I was not very comfortable by the headline of this article, 'Indian'
employees unethical @ work. one can draw piles of cases wherein the amount of
frauds at workplace is more in other countries. The survey though with an
honest intention, misleads the people as if it were comparative.
3. No company can draw conclusion out of this article and formulate policy
decisions. Ethics comes from within. When a rule is formed there are always
ways and people to break it.
Keep writing!

Anand

Wow thats a nice topic, i support lot of things and some readers comments also.
but guys are asking profit sharing and OT for extra work load. Guys tell me
onething, r u in ur seat for 8 hours a day. I never saw a single person who work
for 8 hours dedicated and most of the people don't know time management. They
know only chit chats, cigar times, tea times. and all other leisure times. If
you work 8 hours a day you will not be in need of putting extra time. But u
never do that. Just look at work culture of US. my managers can be available at
any part of the day even on phone and email. They work 8 hours and finishes that
and go spend time with family.
Just don't blabber that you have huge workload. I know what kind of work we are
doing in office. Mostly orkutting, messenering mailing.

Synovate and Teamlease touched a raw nerve. I took time off ( I am retired after
working for over 40 years) to read the article and the readers comment. I would
not call it "erosion', it is pure and disasterous collapse of work ethics. The
proud executive who makes photocopies of his children's text books in his office
and carry it home teaches them how to steal stationery and usage of office
equipment. I know an executive who worked with me in an international company
ran up a cell phone bill three times his salary, The reader's comments shows how
hurt they are when facts are pointed out. If they have done a survey
participating 100% employees of these companies the result would have been no
different.
Have the guts to accept the truth, even if it is bitter.

One should not forget that the amount of work put in by a person is more or less
directly proportional to the pay-package given to him, has anyone checked
whether these so called Companies who carried out these surveys pay their
employees adequately enough ??? do they compensate them for the extra hours put
in. I have seen persons who have to wait long hours at office to complete their
workloads and then even continue after reaching home and if he gets late the
next day he is issued a MEMO or given a firing/warning is this ETHICAL???
Many of us have to work 6 days a week or actually if we put in the extra hours
of work each day we put in a person actually works for 8/9 days in a week
(though a week has only 7 days) do they get extra leave for the additional work
- the answer is NO. If a person take some time off to do a bit of his personal
work i feel it is absolutely Fine as long as he completes his work on time and
has no pendances.
The basic mantra is GIVE THE EMPLOYEE A BIT OF LIBERTY AND MAKE HIM ACCOUNTIBLE
. I BELIEVE WE VERY WELL KNOW OUR RESPONSIBILITIES AND CAN JUDGE FOR OURSELVES
WHAT ARE OUR PRIORITIES AS FAR AS OFFICIAL WORK AND PERSONAL WORK IS CONCERNED.

wow inspite of being unethical (as teamlease says) we are rated as most sought
after employees, in USA and UK too !!!
at the end of the day - even if i have a thought of 'going out on a beach in the
evening ' during office hours can be termed as unethical - bcos often we are
paid for our brains. often indian are so ethical / workoholics that they take
thought of 'work to do tomorrow' home with them. They also work on laptops at
home ...

Now let us examine this. The sample size is 401 out of a population of what 5
million software professionals ? I am sure all of us have done personal work
during work hours like take a phone call, call a doctor, plumber etc. Does this
negate the weekends and long hours that software professionals put in their jobs
everyday. Why doesn't Teamlease conduct a survey on th long hours worked by
software professionals who sacrifice their personal and family lives to slog for
their organizations?
The salaries that are paid today may be unreasonable and the attrition rates
very high. That does not make anyone in India unethical. Does Teamlease even
know what the global ethical work standards are ?? May be someone needs to tell
them about Enron, Worldcom and global crossing to name a few !!!

Who the Hell you are to comment on ethics.. Did you work out your basics before
talking about the Indian People's work ethics.. we get more work from all the
other countries (US, UK . etc.) because of our technical ability, Work Culture,
adaptability etc.. Think once before your stinking tongue blabbers again..
You are not the right one to be in ths nation . you really suck man..
I dont have words to describe your ability to describe the ethics.. I think
articles written by you and your survey should be banned.

Companies are unethical towards their employees, they do not share the Profit
the company has got, do not give OT when employees stay back and work. Ethics
start from the root of the company there is no point blaming the branches.
When u talk of stationary being used for personal work, What are the employees
working for, give them the share in what profit you make with the clients.
What ethics you are talking about?

The conclusions that the author has drawn from the data reflects the pessimistic
view of the author. I do agree that the Public Sector employees efficiency and
commitment to their work is highly into the negatives but this is also somewhat
attributed to the unpragmatical approach of the govt and ministries towards
them. The skilled employees despite their efforts and brilliancy are not
renumerated rightly by the govt and the problem of reservation - the
comparitively unskilled and unwanted chunk- has also added to this data. This
results in a saddistic approach of even the better chunk and they too resort to
the unethical means.
The private sector where each employee spends an average 10+ hours in office
can always be allowed to invest some of his time for personal work. I think that
is quiet justified. As compared to US where the average working hours is close
to 8.5 hrs, I think we still are comfortably placed :).

I am surprised on the attitude of the author towards Indian professionals. First
of all a broad brush approach for anything towards any community at large is
absolutely a wrong approach. Secondly the author forgot to remember that he too
being an Indian falls in the same category of behaviour.
I feel pity about the awareness of the author regarding the state of affairs in
so called developed countries. I would like to draws the attention of author and
readers towards the term "Industrial / competitor espionage" across the world.
There are agencies involved in these activities and these agencies are harboured
by multinational corporations (and not by Indian organizations). Origin of the
terms (Industrial / competitor espionage) is not in India nor are these derived
from Indian language. This is unfortunately a global reality not confined to
India / Indian organizatinos.
Lastly I would appreciate if author / someone has published a statistically
valid comparison indicating behaviour of Indian professions and professionals in
developed countries on %age utilization of time on personal (including
indulgence in sex with coworkers at work) rather than beating / blaming Indians
/ Indian organizations without an iota of idea about rest of the world.

This survey should be taken as an oppertunity for improvement by those who are
contributing for poor image.Others not in such habit should not get offended.
What about Govt offices/Psus?

So now to lack of ethics we can add stupidity and laziness too. Arya - you are
not talking about "Work" culture, you are talking about "sloughing-off" culture.
I am Indian and have worked 18 years in the US, not just in "US work culture"
as you so cutely put it. If a bomb falls on the office in the US, you move
somewhere and get the job done. We don't blame others and external factors.
As for the the stupidos who think this is a small sample size, learn about
statistical sampling and sample sizes before you open your mouths and display
your ignorance.

Hmm! This is just one sided. I agree to what Arya has written. The work-life
balance is tilting more towards work these days.
One major factor we have not thought abt here is: All the IT sector has decided
to keep their office in SEZ areas which is always outside the city. Besides
spending 10 hrs in office, does one take into account the minimum 3 hrs travel
one has to make to get to the office?
We are working in the IT world which sucks out most from whoever who is a part
of it. Customer pressure, stiff dead lines, irrational commitments to the
customer and what not have been adding more owes to the working sector!
My experiences come from such backgrounds and therefore makes me strongly
believe that we need to redefine the guidelines of "Ethics" in IT companies.
Worth mentioning here, one of my friend recently lost his first unborn baby
because he had postponed to take his wife to the doc for a Go-live date! what
are we taking abt here? Ethics pah!

Yes Arya absolutely right. First of all companies dont have ethics they want to
take 4 times extra work as they pay and one u said na the external interrupt
the companies will say shamelely..Regarding leaves no policies, no laws are of
employee side... first we have to make survey on employers ethics..

The report is onesided and hence does not offer a complete picture.
My perspective is that of someone with experience only in US culture and only
recently some exposure to Indian work culture.
The parts that are more news worthy is the complete lack of ethics on the part
of companies in India. Even European and American companies have double
standards when it comes to treatement of Indian workforce. An average Indian
tech employee spends a minimum of 12 hours at work and often stays much longer.
Often the reason for the employee to stay is not work load, but work culture
created by the companies. Managers reward putting in hours and have no
understanding for respecting time or work to be done. Companies give no thought
to calling employees to work on holidays and days off. If a work day is lost due
to external reasons like power failure or local protest, companies very
shamelessly expect employees to cancel their weekend plans and 'make-up' for
time lost due to no fault of theirs.
When company creates an environment, a culture where personal time is not
respected, the company looses all right to expect employees to respect 'work
time'. As it is Indian employees put in waay too much time, lot more than
necessary and yet do not get the expected producitvity due to complete lack of
planning on the part of management.
An article on Indian environment is not complete without this part as well.

I do accept with this survey. Almost all Indians do this except those people who
stick to the work and ethics, and who are not interested to improve his savings.
For the sake of something they try to avoid any work related to his office.
Fortunately they are good for their income improvement. We trust and we expect,
but we can try to mimic that we are at work by doing somebody's else. I hope
that I am not hurting anybody.

I read the report and trying to figure out if the sample of 401 people do not
have any work in the top 500 companies in INDIA. If they had work, i dont know
how they found time to fill out these kinda surveys to publish unwanted
information about employess in IT industry. In the report there is a mention
that "Today's employees" whereas the survey was done in mostly IT companies.

I read this report and agree on many of the statements made. Parcticularly
"......The extent of the moral and ethical degradation among today's employees
was more exposed when 62 percent of the respondents thought it was normal to
bribe someone to get work done".
It is amazing to see the multitude of responses that are attacking this article
(and I agree that a sample size of 401 is not scientific). Admit it - that
sentence is a reflection of the state of mind in India (not just at work). The
politicians and the babu's don't budge without that. Everyone else has to pay up
to get anything done. And industrial esponiage is being by countries in the
post Soviet Union era to get their companies a edge in bidding on project, etc.
So, why is it a surprise to see companies extending their arm to win?
I am seeing all the outrage in the comments and feel that is ridiculous to see
as many people in denial. As a society we have to get out of the scourage of
bribing that is seen necessary - and everyone points to the politicians or cops
being the ones who need to change. If you are brave, stop paying someone
anything to get things done faster. When everyone stops doing that, we will
start seeing a difference.
As for doing personal work on office time, it is human that people will talk
some and in this time when both the spuses are working, there is no option that
sometimes some person work has to be attended to (after all people are human).
Just as they are expected to work late hours when working on a deadline. This is
not just in India - happens in all the countries. That is why the employee
councies companies have perks to help their employee in the US and other places
by having some kind of coincerage service to help with the laundry etc.
"......The extent of the moral and ethical degradation among today's employees
was more exposed when 62 percent of the respondents thought it was normal to
bribe someone to get work done".
It is amazing to see the multitude of responses that are attacking this article
(and I agree that a sample size of 401 is not scientific). Admit it - that
sentence is a reflection of the state of mind in India (not just at work). The
politicians and the babu's don't budge without that. Everyone else has to pay up
to get anything done. And industrial esponiage is being by countries in the
post Soviet Union era to get their companies a edge in bidding on project, etc.

i think Team lease is equalizing its employees with all other indian employees.
if their em ployees doing like that then that is a serious prob with that
management. so better team lease do some constructive work in their organisation
as well as the reserch work they are doing.

truth is always bitter! Though I do agree with the readers that sample size is
pretty low and it can't be made a ground to label the entire Indian Employees.
It hurts when some organisation to get quick popularity uses such means. They
should understand before publishing such half truths on net that this may
further pain the already ailing economy of India. We are trying to improve our
image in the global arena. Its sucks!
anyways it is a human tendency so it is applicable to all the employees as well
as to the employers who fails to understand the employee's need.

A sample size which is irrelevant for making such generalist statements and an
issue used for creating a sensation...It is a known fact that corruption exists
all over the world including India and India Inc is still a growing & maturing
organization so it has much to do in terms of work life balance, quality of
life, integrity, ethics though it is not all that bad as portrayed however it is
very sad to see an improper measure been done without any real mathematics been
used by Teamlease & Synovate to make such an absolute statement...Have they
given thought to the reality that evil exists because of good and professionally
there is a distinct correlation that is required for balance ensuring continuity
of economics....what matters is how much is sitting in what segment and have we
actually thought of using AHP to decide...It would be much helpful to do a
refresher for all in Multi Criterion Decision Quality before conducting such
surveys and sharing any recommendations or statements as given here or making
any interpretations Think responsibly and not blindly or as a herd .There is a
cause for concern always else why are the thought leaders even required .?

Why no one ever does or publish the survey on
1. How far an Indian worker is willing to walk an extra mile to meet employers
demand?
2. Are they happy with salaries?
3. How and Why an Indian culture helps to cop with stress?
4. Why Indian are in demand? Sure it is not that we are cheap and not able to
provide best service? It is the case with earlier then sure no employer wants to
rish loosing customer with crap CS.
Do some productive work and make India a proud nation.

There is no word to explain that, INDIAN WORKERS (Educated & Un Educated) are
Workoholiks, in addition they do not ask their employer why, or how? the work
to be done? there for they are much in demand abroad than others. At the same
time they neglect their family, Kiths & Kins Social contacts, responsibilities?
As that word Social is unknown? or not experienced till they arrive in Foreign
countries of Europe or US. As such the immbalanced Life between Work &
Family to align is very difficult.

I am not agree with whatever written over above. I belive indians have worked
much more better than others. That why the work is coming to india and we are
now becoming more global. An Indian can work in any condition and any situation
as compared to other countries.As far as ethics is concerned we are more ethical
not only in work but also in our routine life also. We have everything
systematic & predecided.

Dear Teamlease !
Are you an Indian Company or a foreign recruiter. You have absolutely no idea
what Indian workers are capable of and unlike firangis, Indians work for more
very long hours and most of us try to help our colleagues in their assignments
as well.
I have been to Germany, Geneva and Sweden where our organisation had regional
offices, the employess disappear like ghosts once there duty hours are over
unlike anywhere and any company , any industry in India.
As far as gathering competitor information is concerned, the subject itself is
unethical, that's why the means would obviously be the same.
Next time, do survey on - " Why most Indians succeed anywhere in World"

After reading the article, the only thing came to my mind is that why people
keep on highlighting negative things so much. Why you guys can't highlight
positive things and inspire people to do good things. Are you guys really scared
of highlighting right things ??
I know one thing that if you ask people not to something he/she will definitely
do it and thats human nature. Instead if you keep on highlighting good things
and start ignoring the negative things then that person will definitely gonna
change.
You just can't make employees exactly you want them do be, they are human not
programmed devices.
The thing you did is just like what media is doing from years and nothing is
changed till date. So I guess we need to change the way to handle negative
things in an organization.

The methodoligy used by many Survey Organisations is either poor or unscientific
or otherwise - Most of these Statisticcs and statistical analysis are
undependable in many cases - so also here. It is easy to have seeping and
derogatory reportings by the Survey Managers without much autheticity. How is
that the Corporates have been doing thousands of crores of business? How is
the Country of this magniture being run by lakhs of Government employees?
There are always unethical people accross the globe depending on various
situations. That doesn't mean, every one is unethical?
Today, as you all know, Indians have been working for the Globe risking their
health and family life! Majority of the people have been working more than 48
hours in a week putting their best efforts. Our people are much more capable in
many ways - In a nutshel, how can we run a Country like India with a population
of over 110 crores and with a magniture of issues, if we the majority are
inefficient, unethical, corrupt and what not as per the Survey! one should use
common sense before making any comments
As some one was pointing out, our News Papers contain all the negative news on
the front page and positive ones in one of the corners, which cannot be
noticed.
LET US HAVE POSITIVE TALK / LET US CONDUCT PROPER SURVEY / LET US MAKE GOOD
ANALYSIS OF THE SURVEY AND REPORT POSITIVELY
Yes; I am not sayting that there are no issues - but, when compared to the level
of development and magnitude of the issues, certain negative points would always
be there - in percentile, they might definitely be very very negligible

Thanks for such a wonderful survey report. Now, we have changed our strategy for
recruiting professionals. We have decided to lay off total staff, plan a new
strategy of hiring employees from Kolkata..............
"Kolkata emerged as a highly ethics-conscious city with an ethics index of 76
percent"
Just Joking Dont take seriously ..
But as matter of fact, we request you to elaborate some information about team
who has done this survey; if they are from Kolkata we should put 76% (AAA) faith
in your report or if this is done by team from Ahmedabad 21% (D) we should not
believe on report

It is true that out of 100 employees in an organisation, 60-70 are found to be
un-ethical. Politicians of this country made our society like that. But blaming
the system will not make India Shine. Let us initiate to re-form and re-build a
sincere helathy atmosphere. We must protest unethical works in public, to
humiliate the person. Can one dare to do that ? If yes India will definitely
SHINE.

The Teamlease should have taken enough care before applying the headline to
whole of Indian employees. I accept reports based on scientific reaserch. But I
don't understand their pinch. The teamlease should have done the research with
more no. of respondents and considering work cultures and environments of the
companies. Why will any employer give that kind of FREEDOM to his employees?
There are situations in some companies where employees do not go homes even
after 24 hrs in some cases 48 hrs. Enitre lifetime gets sacrified for work. They
do not have time to go out to do their personal work during office hours. ANd
after the office there's nothin open in India. If you look forward to a weekend;
sometimes you are stayed back at office or if go out on a Sunday to do any
personal work like bank transactions, bill paymmnets, insurance, post office,
courier, almot everything is closed. So when do Indian employees get time to do
their psersonal work. Private sector employees specially, face many of such
problems.
Come on Teamlease. Beg for apologies from the Indain Employee Community. Your
headline is ruthless and written with stupidity.

What is this ? publishing a survey with a sample size of 400 representing a
workforce of millions !
For one, what motivated TeamLease to commission such an absurd survey ?
Maybe an increase in unethical behaviour by their own employees I guess.
Two, how did Synovate accept to do such a survey ?
Cash straped I guess. No wonder they were able to interview only 400.
Please delete this article at once. For your sake, if the general working
community get the wind of it you guys might as well pull the shutters on your
business.
Team lease and Synovate - The Indian workforce has proven what it is capable and
what it's worth of too.

I do not agree on the survey report. I have been working with mltinationals
since 2000. Indians are sincerly works for the company than other nationals.
Taking printouts, photocopies is seen more in case of other nationals.
Percentage of such usage is very very less by Indians.
I have seen other nationals using the company's costly assets as their own and
never hesitate to put their own cost also to the company. How come this survey
reports like this. Let the Survey be made against the all the natinals working
as an expats in India or esle where to know the facts. Every one should condemn
this report and Government should be notified prior to publish this. Strong
action recommended against this.
Dear all Please do not take this report as true..

Lets admit few points here before going into the study,
1. The IT Industry - if properly understood does not allow any personal thing to
happen at workplace (at least the ones which are serving the banking/finance and
company that has sensitivity of data)
2. The kind of work pressure it puts on employees is much more higher and the
the time that a proper employee send is 40 hrs a week, thanks for being IT firms
out of reach abt 10 hrs a week on travel, where do you get a chance to do your
own work.
3. It is the system which make the people commit any flaw, or resort to a
unhealthy alternative. About Ideas being copied- IT is all about Team Work and
team can be a one team so whole credit goes to its leader / the team and on a
certain point it shall percolates down the real performers.
Coming to the Report of Team LEase:
Few questions:
1. Did you conduct this survey internally and throw out such people?
2. If your company is so big to talk about a county of billion people, why is
this survey had 400 responses?
3. Did you get legal clearances to go to public?
My Feelings,
1. My appeal to readers is, write letters to the MD of Teamlease about this
absurd report, making / degrading India's image on world map. [I am first one to
accept any report is filed with scientific reaserch and more meaningful work ]
2. Make them understand the pinch of this report.
3. The teamlease must have all these 400 wolfs, let the organizations who
employed Teamlease services understand how bad workers they are and detach being
their clients - bloody hell we have more respected organizations.

First of all the punchline itself is rude and unprofessional.....
How can Teamlease call whole Indian workforce Unethical? wherein Teamlease
calims that they have around 80,000 employees on their payrolls working accross
India, but conducting Survey on only a negligable size.
i strongly suggest Teamlease to apologize publicly for this false report.

This must be a joke! A staffing company, on the basis of sample size of just 400
making a pronouncement about the ethicality of Indian employees and Silicone
India publishing it, without a comment has to be a cruel joke!
Kindly show us the ranking of Indian employees across the industrial economies
of the world before publishing such less than professional surveys. Further
kindly also show one country, one society that is 100% ethical!
The market place, especially in the present times of LPG is an ongoing war for
survival and growth. If you are not one up, you are one down, they say! And have
we forgotten that everything is fair in love and war? When countries do it it is
called espionage, intelligence and by such other fancy but if Indians do it in a
market place, they are charged of unethicality (mind you, the dindings of the
survey are one thing and the inferences/comments ar quite another!)
As a matter of fact, India is amongst the fines countries recognised for its
fair dealings, competence as also for cooperation in all fields of human
interactions-even across the national frontiers. We ourselves do not claim that
we are 100% ethical. In such a huge mass of people, there may have been
infringements, but then wich other society has a cleaner record.
My appeal to both the Teamlease and to Silicone India is that, in future we
would like to see more professional material on the board.

I feel this survey is ridiculous. Team Lease should publish the questionnaire
used for the survey and come up with an explanation.
Silicon India should withdraw this biased article immediately and appreciate the
sentiments and hard work of thousands of Indian employees.
An appeal to all IT fraternity Let us boycott Team Lease in every possible
way, unless they come with a reasonable explanation and show their willingness
to post an apology in all leading News papers in India.

Truely unfair article. You cannot measure based on 400 samples the Indians who
brought glory to the world. Let us think positively. If we are working long
hours and have no time to go to bank, post office, telephone exchange etc. to
pay our utility bills and this can be done while sitting in the Office in few
minutes, I do not see anything wrong in it. More than I have my Indian
Colleagues, we work during our lunch hours being responsible and result oriented
to achieve our common objective. Now you decide based on the comments you
receive on this article, you will come to know the true story. I think your
article made Indians to express. We Indians normally do not express... that is
the reason you got some masala to write in your article.

Shocked reading this article as this is giving a very negative impact on the
Indian workplace ethics for which Indians are known for. It is baseless as the
sample size used is very minimal and the generalization is not acceptable.
Teamlease should be dare to write such things and silicon India to publish the
same. I strongly agree with the below comments made on this article and as Vani
said we will join our hands in protecting our values and ethics.

Who is this asshole writing about Indian workforce and giving such a blemishing
title based on sample size of 400 people.
Does he know about the ground realties?
Whats his company's workforce and what if just talking to one person and
publishing something like this about his company and branding his company is
such..and ...such...
ridiculous.
He must be made to serve in siachin glacier area and ask him to come back write
the same article / conduct the survey.
Brainless buggers.
Must be thrashed in public glare.

Well the way the survey has been conducted and the sample space used is
completely a substandard way of doing.
However this issue does exist to certain extent and the reasons could be many as
all readers have diligently listed them out in their comments.
Ethics is an individual's perspective of conducting himself /herself and
shouldn't be compared with people from the other part of the world.Indians are
known for their strong ethics and probably a statement like this is highly
damaging.With too much of globalisation we are ofcourse losing ourselves...and
this is alarming because some day this article ---being termed as
unpatriotic..blah blah could be proved!!!!!
Making sweeping statements like this is BAD from teamlease !!!

This survey findings are baseless and a cheap publicity stunt to get popularity.
It is high time Teamlease realises its blunder to publish this article in a
popular magazine like Silicon India. This article was read by most of the HR
Forum members and my colleagues and it is surprising that sanctity of the facts
are not being investigated or scrutinized before being published on the net. It
has hurt sentiments of Indian professionals because of whom India regained its
lost image in the Global map. These Indian professionals are known for their
hardwork, commitment and who have scaled up to meet the expectations of the
International standards. Also, all Companies adhered to Values and Ethics
monitored by a fool proof system as defined by the Company's policy on Values
and Ethics and stringent actions are taken against errant employees. If
Teamlease fails to apologise in bringing up this article, entire fraternity will
join hands in raising this issue with the National Human Rights Commission. It
is a strong message to Silicon India to withdraw this article immediately and
ensure Teamlease comes out an open apology letter in all the leading magazines
of India.

I dont believe that this is 100% true because this sample size is too low that
is conducted a among different cities. How can we say most of the Indian
employees are unethical. These interviews were conducted mainly conducted among
only IT companies. The IT companies are giving tight schedule to their
employees by reason of that tight schedule most of the employees are adjusting
their personal needs during working time. In my opinion this statement is 100%
wrong

Surabhi Mathur has succeeded in knowing how her company is working on all the
parameters mentioned in her article.
1. IF THEY HAVE SELECTED JUST "401" EMPLOYEES FROM 8 CITIES FROM THE "TOP 500"
COMPANIES, THE SURVEY IS NOT EVEN 1% TRUE! (AND THEY TALK OF PERCENTAGES AND ARE
BOLD ENOUGH TO BRAND A "CITY" ON ITS ETHICS AND THE "IT INDUSTRY" WHEREAS THEY
HAVE NOT EVEN COVERED ONE COMPANY IN FULL!)
2. IF THIS SURVEY IS CONDUCTED DURING THE OFFICE HOURS OF THOSE SO CALLED "IT"
COMPANIES, THEN ONE CAN UNDERSTAND THE STANDARD OF THE ORGANIZATIONS SELECTED
FOR THIS SURVEY! (DID Surabhi Mathur BRIBE THE IT COMPANY TO GET THEIR TIME?)
3. THEY SHOULD HAVE ASKED HOW MANY OF THOSE 'IT' PEOPLE NEGLECT PERSONAL
WORK/FAMILY AND GO TO OFFICE ON WEEKENDS AND HOW LONG THEY WORK DURING A WEEK...

I think the persons are just learning how to do ASurvey /Studies. With the
sample size of 400 persons they are writing the character of 2nd Biggest country
in world. I can't imaging it as i am having more than 6 year exp in research.
IInd thing is that the should have clearly worked out the hypothesis and sample
size from some experts. 3rd thing is can they get any favorable results against
this from anywhere in the world. 4th thing is had they filled the questionaire
themselve and what was the result. They had just gone for pilot survey and put
this Unethical results against their country witout thinking of the reputation
and integrity of India. I think this type of reporters should be penalised so
that they can be better responsible in future.

To TeamLease/Synovate/Silicon India folks,
I worked outside India for about 10 years and am back in India now. I think
all countries have all kinds of people. Publish this survey on the net and get
global responses if you can. Make sure you categorize the responses based on
participant's age group. You will be surprised. What is the point in taking a
sample of 400 people from one country and writing this kind of article. Please
be more responsible. Even if you find the negative news, you do not have to
spread it. There is so much positive news as well. Why not you spread that?
Please spread the positive energy if you can or keep quite. I think people who
contributed to publish this kind of article are more unethical than the
participants.

Unethical behavaior has joint the ranks of fraud and corruption as the new
culture of the 21st century. The reason is two-fold which are the extent of
greed and lack of any enforcment of penalties, standards by those in authority
including the legal professiona and judiciary who themselves have adopted this
new culture.
This culture came from the west where success is measured by accumulated wealth
and not how it was accumulated. The word 'legal' is used where the method of
accumulation would be immoral.
It is sad that the great civilizations of India, China and Middle East have
succembed to the values of the west where the locals were still living in the
jungles compared to the residents of the thousands of years old civilizations.
It is long overdue the old civilizations re-assert themselves and take the lead
in good values instead of following the poor values of the west.

What is said is not uncommon. It is there everywhere;not just in IT industry
alone. Therefore we can not blame people in IT. Fudging account is universal. If
you allow some one take away what is his ,fudging will not happen.
Talking Indians are unethical is unwarranted and unpatriotic comment.Probably
aimed to get publicity for Team Lease through senationalism.
Indians are the best skilled, most intelligent workers in the world.
People are our strength. We are growing inspite of bad politics,because of the

This article is bollox. The people who have created this articles are nuts. They
should how the employees work in other countries. They dont know how indian put

everywhere and I should say it happens very less in india. Seems like Teamlease
or whatever this company should work on better surveys and not this nonsensical
surveys which make no sense at all. Teamplease looks to be a immature company to
come up with these kind of dumb surveys. You can not become a big company
overnight by doing these superficial surveys. Also , Siliconindia
website/magazine should be more intelligent before publishing these idiotic
articles by these bogus companies. I am pretty sure if they publish these
articles about another countries , they will get sued. Peace out.

Unethics by few affect the genuine crowd too. Eg. is the fake resumes . Atleast
in India , most companies does a through background check and most fakers get
filtered out. But in US, Indians use fake experiences which is affectign the
genuinie crowd and usually people get in without the fear of such thorough
background checks. The situation here now is that most employers look at
Indians as fake especially in the midlevel career.

Not a good article indeed.. I don't do anything that my company says unethical.
you rephrase the questions in survey and get the response from the same 401
people and see the responses. unethical typically means that you are working
against the interest of your employer.. in my opinion no indian will be
unethical.. atleast the people who are working for salary..
for example if your question is 1) do you do personal work during office hours?
rephrase it to 1) will you be doing personal work when you have official work to
do in office hours.? the response will show how ethical Indians are..
Publish a survey with such a modified questionare.. it is not unethical to use
the ideal time available during office hours for personal work.. it is unethical
to do personal work when your offical work waits for you. I hope you team agree
with me.. a survey will give the desired result only if the questions are
correct.. if the questions are too vague and not specific the desired result
will not come.
the same thing happened for this survey too... which gave a wrong output..
before taking the survey also have the list prepared of what the company thinks
unethical and then survey their employees... what you define unethical may not
be unethical for the company in which the person works..

can not only beat anyone else but also surpass expectation's.. If i would have
worked in any IT corp. then I would have revolted by boycotting by requesting
all the IT workers to stop work for 2 day's and incur Billion $ losses to
counterparts.. I think innt ka jawab pathar se hi dena chaiye. then lets talk
about ethics after losses.

I agree with the comment from nemani. It is so bad to see such a comment about
the whole Indian IT industry with 400 people survey. Better go to the granular
level and check what type of people are giving these comments(personal
comments). People are so intelligent to fill their website with something that
is 100% not true. US is superpower today, because they always talk about best
things they do. Come to US and check with the people here. Better apologize to
the entire Indian IT industry and pull out this article.

This article is definitely informative, not detailed though. Half information is
more dangerous than no information at all. Also, the writers of this article
don't sound racist, since it is a survey solely on we Indians' workplace ethics.
However, on one hand it highlights the workplace ethics we Indians follow, on
the other hand it leaves out a similar survey on its counterparts elsewhere in
the world.
Also, would like to clarify some of Mr Joseph's Moore's misconceptions about
ethics and productivity about Indians. Mr Moore : Productivity originated as an
idea from the U.S. (as far as IT industry is concerned) and got defined in
India. Why do you think SLA's are signed with 40-50% higher targets of
efficiency / productivity between U.S. companies and Indian service providers ?
Only because Indian employees deliver. I beg to differ on your views about
Indians wasting their work hours on cofee and smoke breaks. Although Indian
workplace ethics seem to have taken a back seat, all you racists out there must
realize (it's high time) that we deliver 40-50% more and better than our
counterparts elsewhere, be it a deluge, bomb blasts or even an earthquake. Mr
Moore : you Americans would have shat your load if you were required to work
under the same conditions.

While I agree to the article, I disagree to the fact that it is happenning only
in India. I have witnessed and can prove that a similar survey is taken in US
the percentages will be higher. It is just how easily Indians are stupid in
fooling themselves, while other countrymen are smart in not doing such surveys
and even if they do not publishing in their own country.

I have been working in multinationals in India and overseas. I had and have
opportunity to work with many expats in India, and I have been shocked with how
unethical all these British, Amarican and south african expats while working in
India have been as per the definitions given above. All of them do all their
personal work during office time, and not only that, but make teir subordinates
do their personal work in office time. What nonsense is this article saying.
Perhaps written by blind people, giving one sided view. Outside India, I have
personally seen people doing all that easily what is termed unethicla in the
article. Americans use any method to get competator information, however
unethical. The article is totally biased, and one sided, written by mentally
sick people.

personal work during office time, and not only that, but make teir subordinates
do their personal work in office time. What nonsense is this article saying.
Perhaps written by blind people, giving one sided view. Outside India, I have
personally seen people doing all that easily what is termed unethicla in the
article. Americans use any method to get competator information, however
unethical. The article is totally biased, and one sided, written by mentally
sick people.

I think all of you are over reacting and over accusing ! I find this article no
way unpatriotic or sub-standard. Most of these findings (survey wise) are only
a sampling of the questions fed to the participants. I how ever agree with the
Survey myself as I have experienced those situations in India and of course in
the Bay Area as well with in the same community. I am not saying it doesn't
happen or other geographies or communities are immune to these issues. They are
only getting noticed because of the "visibility" India has now .

WOW ! When I considered commenting on this article I was not expecting such a
large and unanimous response from the Indian community; but then our fame to
grlory is not self-critisism.
1. I agree about the sample size being rather poorly chosen
2. I disagree that pointing out our faults is unpatriotic - that is the same
rhetoric that got the US into its current mess.
3. Sadly, on an average, Indian's do have compromized ethics - yes. However the
examples chosen in this article reflect the immaturity and inexperience of the
author. For instance, doing some personal work during work hours (esp. when they
are not the fixed 8 hrs days) is common everywhere.
4. The more important things are really being eithical about your work (a
standard which I see deteriorating here in the bay area - Inidan and
otherwise), about giving credit where it belongs, about not stealing someone
elses ideas and about representing data accurately.
5. Personally I think more Indians are corrupt at an individual level and the US
for instance is more corrupt at the corporate level - a larger percentage of the
people are not curropt at the individual level.
6. One can go into great lengths about the reasons behind the assertion of the
article - my comments are just about some of the statements masquerading as
facts.

I wish to reply to Joseph Moore. If the Americans are to productive I don't
understand Why they are going for outsourcing to Indians and Chinese?. Indian
companies are not calling Americans to come to India and Work for Indian. In
reality we know better than Americans What life means? Are you having any
standard on family life? Because of some Indians visited western countries we
have troubles in family life. If you look back about 25 years back We will not
talk of about divorce, old age home etc. These are the things Indian employees
learned from You. We know what is ethics and what is not?

Though there is a % of truth in these results, why blame only the Indian
employees! How about the organizations that are all "lying" through their teeth
- in the garb of "marketing"? How come Microsoft's literature and their products
don't match? How come Accenture sends "rookies" in a consulting project, under
the garb of "experts" and charge $100s of dollars an hour? How does a company
get their "first customer" without prior record (aren't they also "lying" /
"misrepresenting facts" / otherwise called "marketing")?
And it is very doubtful that Teamlease can "extract" these types of answers in a
general survey. IT jobs are stressful. When a manager feels his right to call
any of their employees - "anytime on the mobile" - whats wrong with the
employees taking care of their personal things at office? Lets not imply that
the productivity or work ethics should suffer - but don't make an issue of these
things - and single out "Indian types".

This article generalizing Indian employees is very diappoiting to the standards
of Silicon India and The survey conducted by team Lease.What ethics are these
two companies are talking about.Right from the editor of this Magazine to the
Ceo of TEAM lease let then agree openly on this forum that they are 100%
ethical.If they so claim then there is something which needs to be addressed by
themselves.To cite a few Instances all the Indian IT companies send employees on
Different VISA's to US.SInce the time they land in US they are rushed and
extended to the core sometime working for 16-18 hours on a regular basis.Is this
ethcical.They are paid only for 8hours.Is this ethical.I am not supporting
wasting time on work ,but at the same time generalizing things and publishing
the article on the magazine headlines is uncalled for.This not only tarnishes
the image of Indian employees across the globe,but creates uncalled public
debate.As one of the reader asked is there a comparison showing the indiam
employees with the employees from other parts of the world.Its time now for
silicon INDIA to pull this article right away and the company which surveyed
send a public appology for misleading surveys.

Yes, Indians employees are unethical. (Most of them are) However, there are few
exceptions, some are geunine and honest, but the majority overshadows the
ethical perception of Indian employees. In US I have come across indian
consultants who fudge resumes with false experience to get consulting gigs. Most
of them with ERP skills, will batently lie about their experience.
I worked in India with many indians, I think out of people working in IT field
the productivity and skills are way too below US standards. I can bet Americans
are twice are productive than thier indian couterparts in India. Out of 8 hours
in a day 2-3 hours are completely wasted in tea, smoke breaks, and gossips.
And overall Indians complain about lenghty work hours??!! They make it look that
way by being unproductive.! I think the world is soon realizing the downside of
outsourcing and the reverse trend seems to be happening soon.

Dear Teamlease Team,
It is totally derogatory on your part to conclude that Indians are unethical at
work. You might have construed the idea as you hire Indian employees for many
multinational companies for peanuts. We can give so many instances where Indians
have proved their mettle at their work place. If you publish such surveys, I am
sure the same would tarnish image of Siliconindia.

It's true, and in very near future this issue would be the most highlighted one.
India might lose business because of these unethical work culture. No idea about
Kolkata or other cities's work environment, but in Bangalore for sure. There are
many more other unethical behaviours found... not only unethical but
unprofessional and uncultured as well. IT sector needs to be a little bit
sensitive about recruiting right people at job. It's not only the technical
thing, business needs a lot of other aspects to run successfully and with
respect from the greater industry.
Good attempt to highlight this topic. Great start Siliconindia!

USA, Europe, China, UAE, etc
iii. Companies wants output. They do not and should not care of what the
employees do.
iv. Employees do not have time left when they slog 10-12 hours in office to do
their work in non office hours.
v. READ Chanakya neetee that is taught world wide for management style. You
will understand whats wrong and whats right
vi. If you are looking for the number of people reading this article then this

This attitude one can find in every country. If any country people say that
they are very sincere in their work and they do not use their official position
for any personal benefit, they are the No. 1 liers in the world. In India,
these kinds of culture were taught by the British during their rule. This is
one of the bad things taught by them. Other things like bribing, taking law
into their hand , violence, etc., were also taught by them. Hats off to Western
Culture. They have spoiled many Asian countries.

Hello "TEAMLEASE" see the reply your getting for your article, one advise, its
better if you start answering to all these comments (?) from tomorrow, don't
think how many days it takes you people to answer. just try, you know one thing
(EBA) Emotional Bank Account, this is about building trust, if anyone loose
trust on you for that you need to do favour for min 8 times & max 24 time, so
just think how many times you need do (favour) answer to all these comments to
built trust in your readers on your survey. (future).

Hello Teamlease
Think before commenting on Indian employees that too on Bangalorians do you know
how many hours we work in office? even thou we are paid for only 8 hrs? every
BPO employee work atleast more than 10 hrs and he spends 2 to 3 hrs in
travelling, and important thing is he will be having family in home he has to
talk he has to communicate with friends and family. please think twice before
doing these kind of surveys employees are not saints that should sacrifice
everything and only work. if someone does like this he or she will go mad within
a month with the pressure of work and tensions. I am not telling you not to do
these kind of surveys but please think from both side.
Thanks

Hello I am a regular reader of new on siliconindia.But this survey seems to be
too harsh on a large audience (and the only backing you have is a survey whose
sample size does not even represent a portion of what I would call India's
working population) It also seems one sided to me.You see one side of the
situation where people in India do personal work in office hours.What you happen
to have conveniently ignored is that employees in India put twice as much hours
in work as compared to Western counterparts at less the pay that they get.So If
you work 14 instead of 8 hours it is crazy to blame them of doing personal work
for a couple of hours.

Good article and sample size does not justify the write up nor it represents
INDIAN WORKFORCE.Indian ethical standards are the highest and agree it has taken
a beating lately because 85% of the parents and 80's generation were the last
with moral classes, reading chandamama, tinkle, tintin ,etc which shaped the
basic moral values and supported at the right time by grand parents values
based pampering.Sadly for the Colour TV/Internet gennext this is missing, hence
the results.Today 85% are quick gun murugans who want to be america via ameerpet
types , the fundamental asset of ethics is inborn and inculcated be environment,
so its partial responsibility lies with the society too and 90% with the
parents.Time India Wakes up and sets its record straight, this can't be done as
long as BIMARU states burden is taken up by South and West India

How somebody publish such a baseless news on valuable portal like SiliconIndia?
The truth is we don't differentiate between Personal and Official "timings". We
take 'official' conference calls early morning, late evening, mid-night.. so
what do you call this? Unethical @ Home ?? Life has to be balanced, so we end up
doing personal / official work based on one's need. I think the survey is
meaningless and doesn't quote exact facts.. Did the survey capture, how much
time does the employee spend every day at official Work and at personal work?
Man....

follow it.
which company is following 8hrs per day government policy.Try to bring out that
and then tell about the employees later.

This survey done by TeamLease Services is purely illogical. I don't agree with
the outcomes they are revealing for Indian employees. Such kind of surveys will
only demolish the image of Indian's across world!
Even if they have got such results, I don't agree to publish such things over
internet without getting verified with some trust worthy Indian organization.
Teamlease simply want to bring themselves in light, in front of other nations
organisation for their own mean. I am also working with one the top most you can
say in top-20 Indian Firm and don't know to which employess they approached and
get such data.

Ms. Surabhi Mathur........Somebody needs to tell you that every employee spends
more than 9 hours in the office. When it comes to an Indian employee, we spend
12 hours daily in the office. When we are at office, we have our social circles
back at home. Hence people may tend to use phones, time, etc for personal use.
And Surabhi, I bet you have never been to USA or anywhere in the world, they
also do the same.
I will tell you a story when a teamlease consultant called me to facilitate a
position with Microsoft. Teamlease is a business hungry entity and the company
has no ethics itself. The consultant bothered me to death and wanted to teach me
how to appear at the interveiw even when I was not interested. You see how despo
she was to fill her position. And you talk of ethics.
Teamlease guys have no right to evaluate Indian people on their ethics. I can
present several cases where you guys delay salaries of people who are on your
payroll and placed at your client stations. Dont think you can become an
industry research insight provider. Be happy with what you do.
I vow that I will demoralise all my knowns to ever get into a relation with
Teamlease.

This is really stupid....
I think before taking the survey, they must think about what ethics are exactly
No company is dumb to let their employees break work ethics.... If employees do
their personal work at office, that is because they don't find enough time some
other day to do their work, and if employees use company's internet for personal
use, it means they do not have enough time to reply for their dear ones as their
companies make them timeless...
I can say that, because, even though my work time is for 8 hours, i am made to
stay at office for more than 12 hours, some times 14 hours... its not because i
could not finish my work in time(for the critics who says why not finish your
work in 8 hours and leave), I have to co-ordinate with client, who never comes
in time, or the work is unpredictable. Don't say this should not happen again,
all we do is to earn.
Companies lets their employees do these things only because they know they are
working at the expense of their personal work.
Leave it, it is all my anguish, and before setting the title so powerful "Indian
employees unethical @ work", they should look at the ethics being followed
somewhere else? Isnt it true that Unofficial man days in many us based it
companies is 3 days?
SO ETHICS ARE SOME THING THAT CANT BE JUDGED.... DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS DEFINE
THEM THEIR OWN WAY... and, before talking about ethics, would like to know what
ethics Teamlease is having? That would be a good guide lines for the employees
in other organizations... So list out what ethics are in your sense, and how
many of them you follow...
I think before taking the survey, they must think about what ethics are exactly
No company is dumb to let their employees break work ethics.... If employees do
their personal work at office, that is because they don't find enough time some
other day to do their work, and if employees use company's internet for personal
use, it means they do not have enough time to reply for their dear ones as their
companies make them timeless...
I can say that, because, even though my work time is for 8 hours, i am made to
stay at office for more than 12 hours, some times 14 hours... its not because i
could not finish my work in time(for the critics who says why not finish your
work in 8 hours and leave), I have to co-ordinate with client, who never comes
in time, or the work is unpredictable. Don't say this should not happen again,
all we do is to earn.
Companies lets their employees do these things only because they know they are
working at the expense of their personal work.
Leave it, it is all my anguish, and before setting the title so powerful "Indian
employees unethical @ work", they should look at the ethics being followed
somewhere else? Isnt it true that Unofficial man days in many us based it
companies is 3 days?
SO ETHICS ARE SOME THING THAT CANT BE JUDGED.... DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS DEFINE

Friends I understand ur feelings. I too feel bad. But can anyone say the report
is wrong. Leave the statistics, Dont we ever lie to take leave. or do personal
work in office, and use office stuiff for personal. Come on guys be realistics,
when some one points our wrong things try to correct it rather thenobjecting
it.
