Bridging
the pay gap
For most software professionals, the lure of a fat pay packet
is the most attractive part of working with MNCs. This trend
has been a cause for concern to Indian IT majors that are
unable to match the salaries offered by their foreign competitors.
High quality service at lower cost is the USP of Indian IT
companies. This has been achieved by keeping employee costs
as low as possible. Foreign paymasters have taken advantage
of this to attract the best talent available in the country.
Analysing
leadership behaviour
Interest in leadership is practical: leaders help get the
job done. For over fifty years, social scientists have been
studying leadership by analysing group communication patterns.
The research suggests that two basic types of leadership behaviours
emerge in most groups. The first is task leadership behaviour,
which directs the activity of the group towards a specified
goal. The second is social leadership behaviour, which helps
build and maintain positive relationships among group members.
A
corporate citizen
Philanthropy might not be an uncommon trait among corporate
leaders, but there are very few who have successfully managed
to share their personal passion for social welfare in their
organisation. The Noida centre head of Xansa India, Sanjiv
Tandon, is among them. Tandon also heads the BPO operations
of the company in India. For him, the greatest motivating
factor is the strong sense of corporate social responsibility
(CSR) that drives Xansa’s commitment to help create a
thriving and prosperous society.
