Three News, One Message

Three pieces of news caught my attention in the last two days:
1. Warren E Buffett saying that that India was a big market and a logical place to invest.
2. India Inc. hiking salaries by 40% .
3. India Inc. on a massive hiring spree.

Do you see any realtionship between these news items? Well I do... As India prepares its final ascent to the economic big league, the companies are going to face unenviable challenge of not only getting more folks under their umbrella but also to keep them in their fold. Engagement is going to be a key issue. The companies that address employee engagement best shall stand in good stead to make 'hay when the sun is shining'. Others shall wither and decay.
