Well said Venkatesh. As a HR Manager, we are finding it difficult to retain the tallent and experienced.
Where as the discussion is replacing experiend with freshers. However, this is also in a way good debatable topic.
Mine is orthodox age old company. Their communication skills, ideas, presentation is rather poor obviously since they are stuck with one company for the last 10-15 years, especially this type of age old companies.
It is so natural to feel these guys are not improving and poor in many aspects. This is more when business is going down. HOWEVER, we find this is entirely wrong.
For example, we have one Manager-Accounts who has completed his B.Com (not even qualified for manager's post) and working with this company for the last 10-15 years. He knows in and outs of the company. We all know his communication skills are poor and he lacks team work, and sometimes even plays politics. However, to replace him, even a fresh Chartered Account demands Rs.20-30 thousand p.m. Despite we bring such a candidate, we are not sure what will be his performance. We tried and failed also. We took a stand not to experiment and replace the existing ones unless we are hundred percent sure that the new comer is so tallented, proven and this old guy is really useless and headache.
What is the exact remedy is not to replace these old guys. Answer is how to rejuvenate these experiend people and improve their communication skills and involve more in teams.
