that problems as seen are arrested before those even arise. What HR policies to form?
Recruitment in BPO is tricky and challenging. Women are more suited for the various job
profiles but the work timings do not suit them. Transportation and safety for them is a big
issue.

routine and strenuous after a few initial months. The young employees do not find any
excitement in it except the pay package.
Hence, they look for that excitement outside the work environment which can pose
disciplinary issues in the Indian work-culture. Some young people are clearly seeing this

for themselves.
so HR should practice in such a way to stop the above things.

38. in many companies all employee can access internet . there will be no restriction and
can do their personal work also after completing office work.
39.many companies are providing facilities for work at home in this employee can do all the
office work sitting in home itself . this kind of practice will help BPO very much.
40. some times companies are giving free tokens of money so that employees can buy what
ever they want.

effective employee communications programs, which always include a feedback loop of some
