Software Development companies in India normally hire many staff members even for medium size operations. They come out with innovative thinking to retain the employees to accomplish the work outsourced to them by their clients. Some companies offer bonus to older or experienced employees in exchange of commitment. This helps them to shield new recruits from immediate exposure to customers who in exchange can learn the outsourced jobs properly. These bonuses ensure that employees' motivation level remains high; they deliver good results on even larger scale. The senior staffs of these companies help their employees get better prospects and good job opportunities.

The employee skipping companies has increased so much that many IT companies are now facing the music and are forced to manage their employees in a professional manner. To retain employees companies introduce new policy and benefits like medical insurance, general insurance and extra perks. Many Yahoo groups and Google groups that discuss HR activities and developments in the outsourcing industry have also confirmed this fact.
Inspite of the best efforts by organizations to keep employees from leaving, many do leave their current organizations. This is mainly due to the attractive perks and benefits that many companies offer to attract the best talent in the industry. Therefore it seems foolish to believe that a company can retain all its employees forever. Some employee might leave the company out of insecurity for having continued in the same company for long period of time.
While the overall subject is "outsourcing" and completion of outsourced work, each company in this field is unique in its own way. Many employees who seek "change" do leave their company in search of better exposure to new technology, handling bigger teams. In such cases the employees leave inspite of best efforts from their current organisation. They are the pioneering kind of people who are looking for that "extra" experience in this very competitive outsourcing industry.
All said and done no company can ever retain all its employees. They can however change, adapt and modify their strategies, norms and culture of their office or administration. Even this will not stop employees from feeling bored or fatigued. Disincentives like bonds for minimum work period after joining do not work. Positive motivations through bonus etc also have little effect on the segment of employees who are bent on looking for a change.
Outsourcing companies usually tend to trust those suppliers whose staffs have been in the company for a long time, the company is stable and the staffs are comfortable with their work environment. Any form of additional pressure or harassment can lead to various personnel problems. This in turn leads to the dissatisfaction and finally problems. The work produced by such staff is not upto the mark. For outsourcing companies, it is not just the profits but also the employee turnover that matters. High level of employee turnover means extra expenditure in recruiting and training more staff.
