How to deal with the absconding of employees? I think nowadays it has become a serious issue in almost every industry especially in IT firms.

In my view, there is no point in chasing an absconding employee. It is as elusive as a mirage in a desert. You will be wasting your time and energy on it. Find out the reasons why employees are disappearing from your office. Is it low salaries? Or lack of motivation? Or a bad boss? Or office politics? After figuring out the reasons, try to address them. Take all precautions at the time of recruitment itself to identify fence sitters and serious job seekers. Probably, you may have to re-look at your compensation design to hire and retain true job seekers.
Establishing a Culture of Mutual Respect
Try to follow a policy and establish a tradition that ensures mutual respect and trust for the employer and the employee so that the employees follow the agreed policy of separation, like giving notice, etc. Use your onboarding process to build a sound relationship with the employees and see whether they need the help of mentors. There is no magic pill that can be thrust down the throats of employees to bind them to an organization in the current scenario.
