Retired defense personnel are well in demand by Indian firms who are struck in a dilemma of tackling the financial crunch without compromising on their project deadlines. Companies are forced to hire people who can deliver service without charging as much as experienced people would do. Ex-servicemen have become their suitable option as these people are well known for their discipline at work, says a cross section of HR firms.
"You need discipline, integrity, leadership skills to make big projects a reality. Ex-servicemen are the right mix for such times as they can meet deadlines, are better in critical assessment and organizational tasks," D'Oneil Vaz, CE O of Mumbai based Blue Sky HR, was quoted as saying by The Economic Times.
The Directorate of Resettlement, under the ministry of defense (MoD), has started a short duration training program for ex-servicemen to make them compatible with the needs of the corporate world.
"They have a unique advantage that many employees lack," says Dr MC Agrawal, chairman of executive education program at Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies, which has tied up with the MoD. "They are more honest towards their team, more disciplined, open to ideas and also have a better style of communicating with their team members," he adds.
A number of blue-chip companies such as L&T, Citigroup, ICICI Bank, Satyam Technologies, Bajaj Auto and RIL have hired defense personnel, Agrawal says, adding that the placements for the current batch of the program are scheduled for November 14.
As all corporates seek credible, experienced leaders with the vision to excel skills to design winning strategies, motivate retention, and optimum efficiency to grow, these defense officers stand to have a big opportunity.
