Attached is an article. You will get some clarity on your query after reading it.

Hi there,

I am currently working on my MSc Dissertation, and the topic I have chosen is 'How IT Companies in India are avoiding layoffs.' I have attached a Word document that explains the concept of the virtual bench as one alternative to layoffs during turbulent economic times.

I hope this information is helpful.

Take care.

I am also working on my MBA dissertation, and my topic is "How effective is this new strategy of Virtual Bench in IT Companies in India in avoiding layoffs and reducing costs." Please help me with this as you must have done some research on the same. Additionally, if you could assist in framing the questionnaire for the research and provide guidelines on how to proceed.

Thanks and Regards,
