Sistema-Shyam to hire 1,000 employees
New Delhi: Within less than six months of its launch in India, player Sistema Shyam Teleservices (SSTL) plans to increase the number of employees by 1,000. Currently, the company employees 3,500 people in India, reports Business Standard. Talking to PTI, SSTL Chief HR Officer Manish Kharbanda said, "As we are expanding our services in the country, we are planning to hire 1,000 employees by the end of this year." For the new employees, the company is planning to introduce a game-based induction programme, which has been framed by Tata Interactive Systems that develops learning solutions for corporate. Now with market coming out of the recession, analysts feel that the increasing competition in the form of tariff cuts, the entry of new players will force the telcos to ensure that they retain right kind of talent. Currently, the telecom sector is experiencing an attrition rate of 20-25 per cent.
