Dear Neha,
Half of the students I trained for BPO jobs left Bangalore
after getting data entry jobs since finding accommodation was beyond their means... Check if that is so at your company located in Pune?
An employee needs to invest a lot for his/her boarding and lodging by way of advance paid for rented room/s (=ten month's of rent in Bangalore) And, one has to investment on infrastructure like cooking stove, gas, utensils, etc...
Paying-guest accommodation eats up the low salary that data entry operators get.
One alternative: Kindly visit
www.happyvillage.in This is an attempt by the Government of AP with Bodhtree; and it is successful. It takes care of not only accommodation, but many other things, too. No high expenditure on infrastructure for the company, no expenditure on transports, etc. Why not shift your company to Rural Areas as the one mentioned on the link above? And, pass on the gain your company will make on infrastrucure/transport etc to employees. You will have 0% attrition then!
In the mean time, if you do pay sufficiently for your employees to save money after spending on necessities of life in your city, then, consider giving them motivational training, and training on skills that help to cope with challenges of the newly chosen life. I have a set of training that include physical exercises, Zen meditation, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, etc
