BSNL News: Alarming Resignation Rates Among Young Executives Impacting Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited
Significant Threat from Executive Exodus
The recent wave of resignations among young executives at Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) raises urgent concerns regarding the operational stability and future growth of the government-owned telecom PSU. According to the All India Graduate Engineers & Telecom Officers Association (AIGETOA), factors such as systemic HR issues and unfulfilled superannuation benefits are leading to this alarming trend.
Concerns Over Employee Retention
Ravi Shil Verma, General Secretary of AIGETOA, noted in a communication to Robert J Ravi, CMD of BSNL, that many talented young executives are leaving for opportunities within organizations like the Airports Authority of India, reflecting a significant attrition risk for the company.
- Critical HR Issues: The association indicates that unresolved HR grievances, dating back to 2007, contribute to employee dissatisfaction.
- Promotion Policy Delays: Many deserving executives have been left without clear pathways for career advancement, compounding the retention problem.
Addressing the Crisis for Stability
AIGETOA has urged for immediate intervention to resolve these issues, emphasizing the necessity for BSNL to implement more favorable HR policies and restore promotional opportunities. If these challenges are not adequately addressed, further attrition could have dire consequences, potentially destabilizing BSNL at a critical juncture.
