Has ITC Infotech been able to
attract the best talent? What are the
best-selling points for ITC Infotech to
attract the best talent?
ITC Infotech has not only been
attracting the best talent but also
retaining the best in the breed.
As a company we are young and
emerging, which provides a dynamic
and challenging environment. We
don't have a rigid hierarchy structure,
thus offering excellent growth
opportunities. Our sprawling 36-acre
campus in the heart of Bangalore city
is another pull factor.We can proudly
boast of having one of the best
campuses in the country.

What stage of an employeeassociation,
do you think, is the right
stage to identify the best talent?
Should "recruitment and selection"
stage be looked at as the ideal starting
point for identifying the best talent?
Certainly, the selection stage is an
important stage of employee
association. But we try to build in
association right from a campus level.
Summer training opportunities
offered by the company, preplacement
offers and programs we
run and sponsor at a campus level are
all various stages of employee
association. Infact, Navrachna, which
is a school level program promoting
technological literacy among school
going students, is another level of
association.

ITC Infotech in Talent Management?
Are there any best practices that you
emulate?
ITCInfotech is a vibrant, dynamic and
young company. Though we are just
six years old as an organization, many
HR initiatives and talent management
processes are already in place. We
undertake constant benchmarking to
understand the best practices in the
industry.
We have designed a detailed
mentoring program, providing
employees support to fulfill their
career aspirations. We have an
institutionalized career management
framework and a personal
development plan for employees.
Recognition programs run by the
company constantly acknowledge
efforts of the employees and reward
outstanding performance.
We encourage open communication
in the organization. To support our
communication needs, we have
implemented a state-of-the-art
intranet.Avery interesting facet of the
intranet is our own in-house Radio,
which is being used innovatively for
communication and has been
appreciated by one and all.

The traditional performance
appraisal systems and feedback
procedures might help in a career
progression. However, do you think
theywould be of great help in spotting
the best talent?
An appraisal system coupled with
process for feedback is one of the best
tools for spotting talent in an
organization.
In a large organization like ITC
Infotech, decision-makers need a
systematic framework to monitor
progress on an organizational level,
team level and an individual level.
The traditional appraisal system
provides the framework to make it
possible. Performance appraisal
system and interaction with
employees, who are put on projects,
facilitate in spotting talent.
