Here is a summary of noteworthy HR-related news from India on March 9, 2025:
Lloyds Banking Group Shifts Skilled IT Jobs from UK to India
Lloyds Banking Group is set to hire hundreds of IT engineers in India while planning to cut a similar number of jobs in the UK. The British lender plans to have 4,000 permanent employees working in technology and data in India by the end of the year, nearly doubling its tech workforce in the country. This move is part of Lloyds' broader IT overhaul, aiming to digitize operations and cut costs. Consequently, around 6,000 UK-based IT employees were notified last month that their jobs are at risk, although the bank plans to create 1,200 new tech jobs for which the existing staff will need to reapply. Despite the promise of new roles, some UK workers are expected to lose their jobs, leading to accusations of hypocrisy from union leaders. The shift aligns with similar trends by other UK financial institutions transferring jobs to India and is part of Lloyds' £4bn investment plan under CEO Charlie Nunn to improve returns and reduce reliance on interest rates.
