How Infosys is honing its talent

Curiosity and the ability to learn, unlearn and relearn are the two key traits that can get you a job at the country’s second largest IT services firm, Infosys.

What’s more interesting is that, once in, consistent high performers will be enabled for “career of their choice,” receive bonuses for specialising in skills of the future and increments ranging from 5 to 75 per cent if they make it to the elite Power Programmers team, says a top executive from Infosys.

To keep pace with evolving customer demand for new digital skills, Infosys, which has been grappling with one of the highest employee attrition rates compared to its peers at 21.7 per cent, as of September 30, 2019, is going all out to attract, train, skill, engage and retain talent with a slew of programmes like Be the Navigator, Manager Enablement, Early Career Accelerator Programme (ECAP), Power Programmers and Skill Tags.
