Here in India, we are having more manpower resource. Majority are illiterates. If they request immediately in more or less wages they can get the work in anywhere in India. For them the skill level is nowhere concerned.
As they are not struggling to get the job, they are unable to recognise the worth of the job.
Once Akbar and Birbal went on rounds that time Akbar seen a shocking act by a begger. He was cleaning his shoes by the Silk Cloth. Akbar asked Birbal, how it can be? Birbal explained to that that the Begger got the silk cloth on free of cost whereas he purchased the shoe. So for him the shoe is costlier than the silk cloth.
Here also the same thing. Once they get it without any struggle they are unable to recognise the value of the job. That is the reason of Attrition.
In some cases the Contractors who are engaging are not at all taking care of the workmen. Here the contractors are paying money to their home and bringing them to workspot. So, the contractors are in a position to make them to work. When the workers feel that the contractors will suffer the financial loss if they did'nt work, then the workmen are using it as the trump card against the contractors.
These are all happened due to illiteracy, as they are illiterates the contractors cannot make any contract. Eventhough he obtains his LTI on stamp paper if the workmen illiterate tells in the court that in the stamp paper he gave Rs.1000 for which he obtained thumb impression, and now he is insisting me to work under him as bonded labour, then what will be condition of the contractor. Do you think the media will analyse the truth in this case?, Can you imagine the situation of the contractor?
That's the reason the workmen under contractor's roll are not coming regularly and if they come also they will not perform. Here only two things can work on is motivation by fear and positive motivation and nothing else.
These motivation will also work only in long run and it will not make any immediate effect.
The second thing is in their mind the worker must have the pride that they work in good company which will take of them for their entire life.
