Its attrition rate in IT services stood at 21.5 per cent during the September 2022 quarter, which is higher than the 19.7 per cent registered in the previous quarter. The attrition rate in the March quarter was 17.4 per cent.
Recently, media reports also said that TCS is giving a 20 per cent Christmas salary hike to 70 per cent of its employees, and a performance-based hike to the remaining staff. However, a senior company company official has rejected the reports saying these are “false”.
The company is also rolling out a 100 per cent variable pay for 70 per cent of its staff, compared with 10-20 per cent as variable compensation earlier. Variable pay, better understood as performance pay, depends primarily on the company’s performance.
After announcing the company’s financials for the September 2022 quarter, TCS chief human resource officer Milind Lakkad had said, “We are going to pay 100 per cent variable pay for 70 per cent of employees… the remaining 30 per cent will get paid based on their business unit performance. This is for Q2 (July-September).”
