Seeking your support to know about NASSCOM. How does it work, and what is the purpose of its activities?

Thanks,

The National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM) helps BPOs in India stabilize the economy through established regulations in the growth of BPO sectors. Although NASSCOM functions on a colossal scale, it states that BPO providers should always have clear documentation of policies and procedures regulating the companies.

Why Do BPOs and Other Major Companies Comply with NASSCOM?

Superlative to the context of terms imbued by NASSCOM, it helps companies provide remedial data related to data processing, engineering, web content development, and payroll management. It assists corporations in recognizing many possible risks of outsourcing critical business functions through domestic and international mitigations.

NASSCOM has been benchmarked by most of the US companies in India such as HP, Dell, IBM, Oracle, AT&T, along with GE and Ford. These companies have thousands of employees, and the data concerning them has raised social concerns. Consequently, Indian companies have partnered with NASSCOM to work towards implementing policies for rigorous verification of every detail.

One common issue in many companies is the presence of false information during the pre-employment verification process, as individuals often provide inaccurate details during interviews. NASSCOM, in turn, is associated with NSR, a database that scans the information provided by companies and generates reports for its verification team. The verification process includes phone verification, managerial verification, address and tenure verification, biometric verification, etc. The verified documents are then sent to clients after validation by the employer, and the data is stored in their centralized database.

National Skills Registry (NSR)

National Skills Registry (NSR) is a NASSCOM initiative to have a credible information repository about all persons working in the IT/ITeS industry. NASSCOM has spearheaded the industry initiative of developing and maintaining a national database of registered and verified workforce for its member companies. This database is called "National Skills Registry."

The profiles of employees in the IT/ITeS industry are uniquely identified based on biometrics (photographs and fingerprints) and hold credible and objectively verifiable data about employees, including results of background checks conducted by professional third parties. The NSR constitutes a trusted and permanent fact sheet of information about each employee. NSR is a web-based system that can be used by the IT/ITeS industry and its clients as a credible source of information about the employees who have registered themselves on NSR. This is a global security best practice for the industry and assures identity security and industry acceptance for employees.

This database can be used by the IT/ITeS industry and its clients as a credible source of information about the registered employees who are employed or being put on client assignments. This constitutes a positive confirmation of the antecedents of a candidate/prospective employee.
