The survey was designed and carried out in two phases. In the first phase, HR questionnaires were sent to around 200 IT companies. These spanned systems to software companies, both domestic and exports players. The questionnaire sought information on areas such as employee strength, salary structure, training days, tenure of top management, etc. Of the 200 companies, 49 companies participated in the first phase. Out of these, 38 companies were then shortlisted for the second round i.e., the employee survey based on parameters such as Total Employee Size; Average Tenure of Senior Management; Total Average Training; Retention Rate; Average Salary Hike (in Percentage).
