Why To Remove Experienced Persons To Bring New Ones?

Dear All,
This is a burning topic today. Most of the Indian Industries and institutions are doing this rough practice whenever a new executive joins with his new ideas and replaces most of the old experienced persons to bring the new ones of his/her desire. This does not mean to oppose new people but not on cost of others. These all old experienced people do very well when they join a new organisation. This shows there is something wrong somewhere. What is this gap and how to solve this issue properly.

I think Mr Samanotra is right to say for our modren industries as they want to remove all old and experienced people in name of mini retrenchments. They think that they get rid of them but actually after sometime management of the industries get rid of their choices through them only. At last they also have to move themselves. This is bc'z they could not tie with the new culture.

Old people are really very smart but they always play in hands of some cunning people who use them for their benefits. As soon as they think these people are not useful for them they get rid of them without thinking of any other chioce to retain them. Sometimes we do this to keep happy our new god fathers.

I have no clue about the industries in the market, but what i have noticed in my firm is that the experienced employees donot upgrade themselves with the new technologies... also with feel insecured when someone new joins...try to avoid/ignore them, and behave superior....but at times when the new joinees come up with new ideas they oppose, over shadowing them..in this process, the newy joined feel discriminated..and leave the org, or form groups with differences, and the management does very little in this regard coz they are emotionally attached with the seniors, though they are aware of their lacking competencies.......

Dear Sari,
This is not correct always to say that experienced persons do not upgrade them with new technology b'cuz they are not being trained with new challenges. Managers want that they should be ready to face all new challenges and at the same time they forget their role to train them. At the end to blame the old employees.

Hi to all
This is good topic.
For example I am MD of the middle level company, one of Manager 7 to 10 years working in this company his salary around 30k, when i think and make calculation each & everything about finance, my decision i am asking to resign this senior person and i will take new person 2 or 3 years exp. his salary range 10 to 15k and i am ready to give short training to new person. now i am saving 15k per month..for my company.
This is one of reason.......
I hope, this is not a wrong!....commands pls.

Dear Pandurangan,
Pl clarify your views in details with good examples. This should not be on experience of one company/industry where you experienced it.
Good luck.

Hi frends,

I first should congratulate Yogesh for bringing up a good topic for discussion.There may be several reasons why organizaions remove experienced people and hire freshers/new members in their place.However, I think the reason is that When you are new to job/relationship, you are very vibrant,focussed and show of only your positive qualities.

However, in the long run inadequancies do creep up.I think its the same with a Boyfrend/GirlFrend.They try to impress each other and so there wont be any problems when they start their relationship.But, in the long run our negatives also become apparent.

I agree with SARI that most of the Seniors tend to become complacent & insecure(It may apply to me as well).Infact, I think that not removing these so called seniors is a problem in Sick Public Firms.However, thats where our HR challenge comes into picture.We should make every employee realise that not only does experience matter but Also performance.

HR role is a important one in this aspect wherein a performing culture should be defined, developed and inculcated.

Regards,

Ravi.

Dear cite HR members,
"Its surprising to hear that experienced staff are removed due to freshers", when the entire HR world is striving for retaining the talented & experienced "no employer or HR person will try to separate them from oranization.
Instance for this discusion is only in IT only, manufacturing units dont leave the seniors for silly cause of freshers.
This is my opinion, correct me if percept wrongly...........
Regards,
Venkatesh
