Hiring, Terminating and Retaining Employees-Preview

Dezan Shira & Associates has assisted small, medium and large sized multinational

companies with human resource services in Asia for over two decades.

We primarily help clients consolidate internal processes so that they can focus on core HR

roles such as strategy formulation and managing employees. Beyond this, Asia Briefing, our

wholly-owned subsidiary, assists many of our clients with business intelligence services

designed to assess the availability of labor in local markets as well as local HR standards.

In this issue of India Briefing Magazine, we examine issues related to hiring, firing and

retaining employees in India. We highlight the most common legal issues that arise from

India’s employment process, summarize the procedures for terminating an employee, and

detail some of the most important factors for attracting talent. In addition, we outline some

cultural considerations for foreign personnel working with Indian employees.

Foreign companies with a firm grasp of HR procedures in their home country will quickly

find that their established practices have almost no bearing in India. We hope that this

issue of India Briefing serves as a good starting point to understanding India’s idiosyncratic

HR laws, and look forward to working with companies seeking to navigate those laws and

streamline their HR process.
