Large Information Technology (IT) services firms, including Wipro, have been criticised for taking too long to onboard new employees, which has dominated industry discussion over the past three months.
Chief Human Resources Officer Saurabh Govil admits the delays:
Over the last quarter, large Information Technology (IT) service providers, such as Wipro, have dominated the conversation in the industry about delays in onboarding new employees.
It is true that the process had been delayed, said Saurabh Govil, the company’s chief human resources officer. However, he insists that Wipro will not renege on any job offers and that it will honour all such commitments. Wipro has maintained that it will not renege on job offers it has made and will honour all its commitments.
As the company has not yet indicated that it will renege on any of the job offers that it has made, this is because everything that it has pledged such as honouring its commitments has nonetheless been kept until now.
The company’s Chief Human Resources Officer Saurabh Govil, however, admitted in an interview to Money control that the process had been deferred.
“It is delayed. I’ll be honest, and I said there’ll be a spill over,” he said after the company posted its financial results for the third quarter of FY 23.
Wipro will honour the commitments it has made:
The Wipro CHRO has said that the company will honour the commitments it has made, and that onboarding will be based on the business requirements of the company.
Saurabh Govil furthermore added, “Very clearly, when we went to the campuses and made offers in the middle of last year, that time the industry was much more bullish, the demand environment was much more bullish. It is not as bullish right now, but given it’s a large company, will continue to onboard every quarter and take it forward,”
