With a raging pandemic potentially threatening their business prospects, Indian companies are putting extra efforts into employee retention.
In line with companies across the Asia Pacific region, Indian firms have increased their spending on employee engagement and wellbeing, and training and development, among other measures that can help in staff retention, according to a survey by LinkedIn. The increase in budget for current employees comes at a time when companies in the Asia Pacific region have cut hiring spends by around 30% due to an “uncertain business outlook,” the survey said.

The decision in Jharkhand was apparently taken looking at the large number of migrant youths coming back to their homes during the lockdown. The stateâs unemployment rate gradually fell down to 11.3% in January 2021 after rising up to 59.2% at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in May 2020, revealed the Economic Survey. In January 2020, the unemployment rate was 10.6%.
