    PREFACE

     As employee Retrenchment has become increasing everywhere in recent years, the

    study of this phenomenon has assumed greater significance. This article develops anintegrative framework that incorporates environmental and organizational antecedentsas well as the implications of Retrenchment for individuals and organizations. Key

    empirical studies are reviewed and major patterns and contradictions are identified. Theauthors identify and discuss theoretical and methodological concerns related to the

    etant literature and provide recommendations for future research aimed at developinga better understanding of employee Retrenchment.

    The thing that people need to remember is that Retrenchment may be back on the frontpages, but the Retrenchment never slowed down. Retrenchment has been a constant

    and regular feature of the new working world, and it will continue to be.

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    !eaning of retrenchment

    Retrenchment is something akin to downsizing. "hen a company or government goes through

    retrenchment, it reduces outgoing money or ependitures or redirects focus in an attempt to become

    more financially solvent. !any companies that are being pressured by stockholders or have had flagging

    profit reports may resort to retrenchment to shore up their operations and make them more profitable.

     Although retrenchment is most often used in countries throughout the world to refer to layoffs, it can also

    label the more general tactic of cutting back and downsizing.

    #ompanies can employ this tactic in two different ways. $ne way is to slash ependitures by laying off 

    employees, closing superfluous offices or branches, reducing benefits such as medical coverage or 

    retirement plans, freezing hiring or salaries, or even cutting salaries. There are numerous other ways in

    which a company can employ retrenchment. These can be non%employee related, such as reducing the&uality of the materials used in a product, streamlining the process in which a product is manufactured or 

    produced, or moving head&uarters to a location where operating costs are lower.

    The second way in which a company may practice retrenchment is to downsize in one market that is

    proving unprofitable and build up the company in a more profitable market. 'f one market has become

    obsolete due to modernization or technology, then a company may decide to change with the times to

    remain profitable.

    (tates or governments may also use retrenchment as a means to become more financially stable. 'n

    capitalist nations, retrenchment is effected by lowering taes in the hopes of pumping more money into

    the economy. This tactic is always healthily debated throughout all levels of government. "hen applied to

    governments, retrenchment may also refer to a state cutting costs by making jobs obsolete, closing

    governmental offices, and cutting government programs and services. )owever, this is not a classic

    eample of retrenchment, because when epenses are cut in one area, politicians tend to re%direct them

    to other areas.

    *mployees are often the casualty of retrenchment, as the tactic does not take their interests into account.

    They are often considered simply as commodities that are either profiting or costing the company, and are

    therefore either a necessary epense or a financial liability.

    +efinition of retrenchmentRetrenchment -rench retrenchment, an old form of retranchement, from retrancher, to

    cut down, cut short/ is an act of cutting down or reduction, particularly of publicependiture.

     According to the 'ndustrial +isputes Act, 0123, retrenchment is the termination by theemployer of the service of the work% man for any reason whatsoever, otherwise than as apunish% ment inflicted by way of disciplinary action, but does not include a/ voluntary

    retirement of the workman, b/ retire% ment of the workman on reaching the retirementage of superannuation, or bb/ termination of the service of the workman as a result of the

    non renewal of his contract of employment, or c/ termination of the service on theground of continued ill health.

    There are five activities that characterie retre!ch"e!t#

    #aptive #ompany. *ssentially, a captive company4s destiny is tied to a larger company.-or some companies, the only way to stay viable is to act as an eclusive supplier to a

    giant company. A company may also be taken captive if their competitive position isirreparably weak.T$r!ar%$!&' 'f your company is steadily losing profit or market share, a turnaroundstrategy may be needed. There are two forms of turnarounds -irst, one may choose

    contractions cutting labor costs, 556* and !arketing/. (econd, they may decide toconsolidateBa!(r$)tc*. This may also be a viable legal protective strategy. 7ankruptcy without acustomer base is truly a bad place. )owever, if one declares bankruptcy with loyal

    customers, there is at least a possibility of a turnaround.Divest"e!t. This is a form of retrenchment strategy used by businesses when they

    downsize the scope of their business activities. +ivestment usually involves eliminatinga portion of a business. -irms may elect to sell, close, or spin%off a strategic business

    unit, major operating division, or product line. This move often is the final decision toeliminate unrelated, unprofitable, or unmanageable operations.

    Li+$i&ati%!. This is very simple. Take the book value of assets, subtract depreciationand sell the business. This may be hard for some companies to do because there may

    be untapped potential in the assets.

    !eaning of recession'n economics, a recessi%!  is a business cycle contraction, a general slowdown in economic activity.

    +uring recessions, many macroeconomic indicators vary in a similar way. 5roduction, as measured by8ross +omestic 5roduct 8+5/, employment, investment spending, capacity utilization, household

    incomes, business profits and inflation all fall during recessions9 while bankruptcies and the

    unemployment rate rise.

    Recessions generally occur when there is a widespread drop in spending often following an adverse

    supply shock or the bursting of an economic bubble. 8overnments usually respond to recessions by

    adopting epansionary macroeconomic policies, such as increasing money supply, increasing

    government spending and decreasing taation.

    INTRODUCTION TO T,E BUSINESS SCENARIO OF BPO

    75$ :7usiness 5rocess $utsourcing; has been the latest mantra in 'ndia today. As the

    current sources of revenue face slower growth, software companies are trying newways to increase their revenues. 75$ is top on their list today. 'T services companies

    are making a &uick entry into the 75$ space on the strength of their eisting set of clients. "e hope to address all issues related to 75$ in 'ndia on this portal.

    "e will attempt to eplain what it takes to setup a 75$ facility in 'ndia. Actually, settingup a call center is capital intensive. An ordinary 75$ center that takes care of pure back

    office operation :e.g. payroll, data entry; will not be as epensive as a call center.The philosophy behind 75$ is specific, do what you do best and leave everything elseto business process outsourcers. #ompanies are moving their non%core businessprocesses to outsource providers. 75$ saves precious management time and

    resources and allows focus while building upon core competencies. The list of functionsbeing outsourced is getting longer by the day. #all centres apart, functions outsourced

    span purchasing and disbursement, order entry, billing and collection, human resourcesadministration, cash and investment management, ta compliance, internal audit, pay

    roll...the list gets longer everyday. 'n view of the accounting scandals in

    11/34

     An organization which faces one or more of these issues is referred to as a sickB

    company.There are three ways in which turnarounds can be managed

    • The eisting chief eecutive and management team handles the entire

    turnaround strategy with the advisory support of a eternal consultant.

    • 'n another case the eisting team withdraws temporarily and an eecutive

    consultant or turnaround specialist is employed to do the job.

    • The last method involves the replacement of the eisting team specially the chief 

    eecutive, or merging the sick organization with a healthy one.

    7efore a turn around can be formulated for an 'ndian company, it has to be firstdeclared as a sick company. The declaration is done on the basis of the (ick 'ndustrial

    #ompanies Act ('#A/, 01CD, which provides for a &uasi judicial body called the 7oardof 'ndustrial and -inancial Reconstruction 7'-R/ which acts as the corporate doctor 

    whenever companies fall sick.

    F.  Ei&uidation (trategies

     A retrenchment strategy which is considered the most etreme and unattractive is theli&uidation strategy, which involves closing down a firm and selling its assets. 't is

    considered as the last resort because it leads to serious conse&uences such as loss of employment for workers and other employees, termination of opportunities where a firm

    could pursue any future activities and the stigma of failureThe psychological implications

    • The prospects of li&uidation create a bad impact on the companyBs reputation.

    • -or many eecutives who are closely associated firms, li&uidation may be a

    traumatic eperience.

    Legal aspects of liquidation @nder the #ompanies Act 01DG, li&uidation is termed as

    winding up. The Act defines winding up of a company as the process whereby its life isended and its property administered for the benefit of its creditors and members. The

     Act provides for a li&uidator who takes control of the company, collect its assets, pay itdebts, and finally distributes any surplus among the members according to their rights.

    2.  7ankruptcy This may also be a viable legal protective strategy. 7ankruptcy without a customer 

    base is truly a bad place. )owever, if one declares bankruptcy with loyal customers,there is at least a possibility of a turnaround.

    IMPACT OF RECESSION ON BPO SECTOR

    The impact of global slowdown on 'ndiaBs economy is impacting the employment

    scenario in 'ndia. 'n fact the rising joblessness in 'ndia has assumed worrisomeproportions. "ith overall economic growth sharply slowing down, the ranks of those

    without work are growing by the day. -ive hundred thousand people were rendered

    may force most 'ndian -ortune D== companies to slash their 'T budgets. Jinnov#onsulting, a research and offshore advisory, says that besides companies from 'Te(

    and 75$, automotive components will be affected. +uring a full recession, @(companies in health care, financial services and all consumers demand driven firms are

    likely to cut down on their spending. Among other sectors, manufacturing and financialinstitutions are moderately vulnerable. 'f the service sector takes a serious hit, 'ndia

    may have to revise its 8+5 to about C to C.D per cent or even less. As per Raman Roy, -ather of 'ndian 75$ industry, recession is not a decrease in

    consumption. it is just that the rate of growth has changed. Recession actually providesthe opportunity to create value for customers at different price points.

     According to Eokendra Tomar, senior vice%president, 'ntegreon, a 75$ firm, saysrecession is likely to have a dual impact on the outsourcing industry. Appreciating rupee

    along with poor performance of @( companies will affect the bottom line of theoutsourcing industry. (mall 75$s, which are operating at a net margin of 3%C per cent,

    will find it difficult to survive. According to +harmakirti oshi, director and principaleconomist of #R'('E, along and severe recession will seriously affect the portfolio and

    fied investment flows. #orporates will also suffer from volatility in foreign echangerates. The eport sector will have to devise new strategies to enhance productivity.

    EFFECT OF INTEREST RATES ON BPO INDUSTRIE

    7ecause of the slowdown of 'ndian economy and 75$ industries the interest rates havealso gone down. 7ank has reduced their interest rates due to lack of business.

    REVENUE .ENERATION IN BPO SECTOR

    Revenue is generated on the basis of volume I seats a 75$ has or is re&uired for anyprocess. -or eg. if a process is outsourced to a vendor, client provides the data on thevolume and a charge per unit is defined in the agreement.

    the one hand, the contribution of )uman Resources !anagement )R!/ to theachievement of business results has come under increasing scrutiny and, on the other hand, most of the challenges of Retrenchment are people%related issues that re&uire

Thekey conclusion of the study is that the role of )R has become wide ranging, coveringthe strategic as well as implementation aspects. The clear message from the study

    suggests that, unless there is alignment between the two aspects, the envisagedbenefits of Retrenchment are unlikely to take place. Key challenges facing )R

    professionals are managing middle managers, managing careers and managing

    employee epectations. There are indications to suggest that the process role of )R islikely to become more important in the medium and longer terms.

    appears epanding and market watchers epect momentum to sustain in the short tomedium term even if economic growth tapers off marginally.

    't was a lesson learnt the hard way. "e should concentrate and analyze the

    failure of economic reforms globally to be able to put a finger on the eact causesleading up the recession. That painting was never meant to be. The botched up job has

    already added permanent morbid shades in varying depths to the canvas. There is nomagic sponge to clean in every blot of the culprit paint. 7ut certainly a thinner can be

    applied to lessen further damage and brighten further vistas. ?ew prospects can besown into the recovering panorama. EetBs hope for their blossoming into fruit bearing
