Class Discussion on Google and Infosys:
This was another activity which we undertook in the class which I feel was another learning of how people look at different facts in a very different way.
I was Infosys team and was very upbeat about the fact that the company treats the human resources as assets in the balance sheet. Infosys treats their employees well with all the amenities that would make feel happy in the work environment. They have the best training facilities in the Asia. They have the biggest display screen in the Asia for the training purposes. Their facilities are built with in house residential apportments for the employees and all other amenities that are required for a hassle free work life. While they choose their employees through a high grade selection process in India however in US they select on a different selection pattern. They develop their resources in such a way that they become assets of the company. Infosys treats their employees well which is evident from the fact that they have got the least attrition in the industry.
Google on the other hand would play on its brand name and fat pay packages. Though a big conglomerate, I personally feel it’s just another IT company that does not have any special treatment for its employees. If I have to look at pay packages then I have other companies as well and not necessarily at Google as an option.
However, as mentioned above I was very excited about the fact that employees are treated as assets in the balance sheet however many in class a different view on this. They felt treating employees as assets demeans their human values. They are treated as just like any other building or cash assets in the balance and some said they would have felt insulted.
This was learning in a way that I could have never thought in this perspective but as they say “ different folks , different strokes
