\"\"MUMBAI | NEW DELHI: With Indian IT firms focusing on surfing<\/a> the digital wave<\/a>, a growing number of employees are gripped by fears of being washed-up by rapidly evolving technologies.
\n
\nAlthough 80% of the industry’s business continues to come from older or legacy technologies, experts say this share is set to shrink and workers need to upgrade their skills to stay relevant. But a section of the workforce may not be up to the job. “There will be a small bunch of people who will either not have the adaptability or learnability to make that change,” said Prithvi Shergill, head of human resources at HCL Technologies.
\n
\nThese people will have to look for options within their companies or outside, where the proportion of legacy skills work is higher, said Shergill. An anonymous confession on an unofficial Facebook page of an IT company recently lay bare the frustration of working on old technologies, ending with the hashtag — get me out of legacy systems.
\n
\nAn employee with a multinational company told ET on condition of anonymity: “They are not training anyone on my technology. And they won’t release me from my project because they don’t have anyone to replace me. I’m stuck.” Wipro had said in April that automation, artificial technology and greater efficiency through digital technology could reduce the company’s headcount by 30% or nearly 50,000 in three years.
\n
The company said that the reduction was likely to happen through attrition and redeployment to higher value technologies. But as clients of IT firms look to move to newer technologies and cut costs on the older systems through automation, employees realise it is time to reskill themselves. IT companies are spending crores of rupees on training their employees, but they are naturally picking those with the talent and aptitude for coding. “Companies usually
invest<\/a> in upgrading people who are technically very sound. Those who have been mediocre at coding and development, have to change roles into areas like pre-sales, business management or project management, which are a mix of functional and technical skills,” said Alka Dhingra, assistant general manager at Teamlease.
\n
\nShe said those with skills in Java, Cobol, Mainframe, C and Fortran are still heavily used but up to 30% of the employees working with other legacy technologies will have to upgrade or shift roles within the next three years to survive the change. Many IT employees are acutely aware of this and are paying for their own training at thirdparty institutes.
\n
\nAn employee of Tech Mahindra said: “Those who want to upgrade to newer technology are investing in it themselves, and moving on to better opportunities, within or outside their current workplace. However, growth in Indian IT companies is often not defined as coding proficiency in a given technology, but whether you are able to move on from coding to a more management or analysis-based role.” Some replacement roles are already in jeopardy, though. “Let’s face it, sometimes it is easier to train someone fresh than multiskill people,” said the chief executive of an IT company, requesting not to be identified.
\n
\n“If you measure your job as per whether you run an offshore centre or just manage projects and go away from the technology then you are likely to be the first in the line to be asked to leave,” the CEO said. IT companies are nonetheless making valiant attempts to reskill a large number of employees, given the growing importance of digital technology. TCS’ digital business currently contributes a little over 13% to its overall revenue. “It’s normal human nature to want to work on the newest technology,” said Ajoyendra Mukherjee, executive vice president and global head of human resources at TCS.
\n
\nThe challenge lies in striking a balance between new and legacy skills, said Mukherjee. “We try and rotate them from project to project where they can learn more technologies and skills. But legacy technologies are still a large part of the business and so that has to be managed,” he said. IT firms are also looking at ways to prevent dissent in the initial training programmes. “We will be training freshers and existing employees, but the existing employees will be chosen on merit. That makes it less likely that people will say, ‘why him and not me?’ and also give them an incentive to perform better,” said Saurabh Govil, HR head at Wipro.
\n
\nBut to be truly successful in digital, IT companies are realising that they cannot leave employees working on core projects unmotivated. “We cannot afford to have anyone stuck in the old. No one has to be straitjacketed and told you have to stay in the old stuff,” Infosys chairman R Seshasayee told ET. While the routine tasks leave little scope for innovation, companies can find new ways to create value addition for clients. One way to do this, Seshasayee said, is to improve quality and reduce cost. “That innovation is what we need to stoke,” he said.\n\n<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":50008396,"title":"MTNL broadband at CWG Village","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/mtnl-broadband-at-cwg-village\/50008396","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[],"msid":50008751,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"Why IT employees need to upgrade their skills to stay relevant","synopsis":"With Indian IT firms focusing on surfing the digital wave, a growing number of employees are gripped by fears of being washed-up by rapidly evolving technologies.","titleseo":"telecomnews\/why-it-employees-need-to-upgrade-their-skills-to-stay-relevant","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[{"author_name":"Jochelle Mendonca","author_link":"\/author\/479231167\/jochelle-mendonca","author_image":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/authorthumb\/479231167.cms?width=100&height=100","author_additional":{"thumbsize":true,"msid":479231167,"author_name":"Jochelle Mendonca","author_seo_name":"jochelle-mendonca","designation":"Assistant Editor - Enterprise IT","agency":false}},{"author_name":"Neha Alawadhi","author_link":"\/author\/479235679\/neha-alawadhi","author_image":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/authorthumb\/479235679.cms?width=100&height=100","author_additional":{"thumbsize":false,"msid":479235679,"author_name":"Neha Alawadhi","author_seo_name":"neha-alawadhi","designation":"Correspondent","agency":false}}],"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"ET Bureau","artdate":"2015-12-02 12:25:15","lastupd":"2015-12-02 12:26:41","breadcrumbTags":["surfing","invest","Tata Consultancy Services Ltd.","digital wave","EnterpriseIT"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"telecomnews\/why-it-employees-need-to-upgrade-their-skills-to-stay-relevant"}}" data-authors="[" jochelle mendonca","neha alawadhi"]" data-category-name="" data-category_id="" data-date="2015-12-02" data-index="article_1">

孟买|新德里:印度IT企业关注冲浪数字波,越来越多的员工普遍担心的不行了的快速发展的技术。

尽管80%的该行业的业务继续来自年长或遗留技术,专家表示,这一比例将缩减和工人需要升级他们的技能有关。但部分的劳动力不能胜任的工作。“将会有一个小群人要么没有变化的适应性或易学性,“说做Shergill, HCL科技公司人力资源主管。

这些人将不得不寻找选择他们公司内部或外部,遗留的技能工作的比例较高,Shergill说。匿名非官方的Facebook页面上忏悔的IT公司最近暴露在旧技术的挫折,结束与遗留系统的标签,让我出去。

与跨国公司员工告诉ET在匿名的情况下说:“他们不是任何人在我的技术培训。他们不会释放我从我的项目,因为他们没有任何人取代我。我卡住了。“Wipro 4月份曾表示,自动化,人工技术和更高的效率通过数字技术可以减少公司的员工30%或三年近50000。

该公司表示,减少可能发生的自然减员和重新部署价值更高的技术。但由于客户公司搬到新技术,降低成本在老系统通过自动化、员工意识到是时候reskill本身。公司花费卢比的卢比在培训他们的员工,但它们自然会选择那些编码的天赋和能力。“公司通常投资升级的人技术非常的声音。那些一直在平庸的编码和开发,必须改变角色进入预售、商业管理或项目管理,这是一个混合的功能和技术技能,”助理总经理teamleas Alka Dhingra说。

她说那些技能在Java、Cobol、主机C和Fortran仍大量使用,但高达30%的员工与其他遗留技术将需要升级或转变角色在未来三年内在变化中生存下来。许多员工都敏锐地意识到这和在第三方支付自己的培训机构。

马恒达科技公司的一名员工说:“那些想升级到更新的技术都在投资自己,和移动到更好的机会,他们目前的工作场所内部或外部。然而,印度IT公司的增长通常不是定义为编码给定技术精通,但是否能够继续从编码到更管理或分析的作用。“不过,一些替代的角色已经岌岌可危。“让我们面对现实吧,有时更容易培养人新鲜multiskill多人,”一家it公司的首席执行官说,要求不透露姓名。

“如果你衡量你的工作/你是否运行一个离岸中心管理项目,离开技术,那么你很可能是第一线的要求离开,”首席执行官说。IT公司仍然做勇敢的尝试reskill大量员工,考虑到数字技术越来越重要。TCS的数字业务目前略高于13%有助于其整体收入。“这是正常的人性想研究的最新技术,“Ajoyendra穆克吉说,全球执行副总裁兼人力资源主管TCS。

挑战在于之间的平衡和遗留的新技巧,穆克吉说。“我们试着旋转他们的项目,他们可以学习更多的技术和技能。但是遗留技术仍然是一个大商业的一部分,所以需要管理,”他说。IT公司也在寻找方法,以防止异议在最初的培训项目。“我们将培训新生和现有的员工,但现有的员工将选择的优点。使它不太可能,人们会说,“为什么他不是我吗?”,也激励他们表现得更好,”高说,Wipro人力资源主管。

但真正成功的数字,公司意识到他们不能离开员工没有动力的核心项目。“我们不能有任何停留在旧的。没有人必须多次通过说客,告诉你必须呆在旧的东西,“印孚瑟斯主席R Seshasayee告诉等。而常规任务离开小的创新空间,公司可以找到新的方法来添加为客户创造价值。Seshasayee说,一种方法是提高质量和降低成本。“创新是我们需要斯托克,”他说。
