USA : Preferred Working Destination for Indians

Top Reason why Indians prefer working inUSA

Work Culture: Majority of the IT professionals feel that Work Culture in MNC is more Planned and  less ambiguous compared to their INDIAN contemporaries.  "One will experience a preference over U.S. work culture because of a well established infrastructure, matured planning and process. The work culture in U.S. is absolutely process driven," says Ravi Jagannathan, MD and CEO, 3i Infotech.


Labor Laws:  Serving a notice period is no doubt a nightmare for almost every IT professional.Contrary to that, the employment law in the U.S. has always been governed by 'at will' employment,which means that there is no need to serve any kind of notice period.


EMPLOYEES' RIGHTS:  This area is quite well-balanced in INDIA also where majority of INDIAN IT cos.have started sanctioning all kinds of leaves and relaxation provisions so that employees add more value to their work.


WORKING FROM HOME:  Most of the IT professionals have realized that, in U.S., the employers' have no issues with their working-from-home employees as long as they meet the deadline of the deliverables.


TIME MANAGEMENT:  "When it comes to the work environment, a U.S. company always maintains a popular thought - the output. If the output is as per expectations, then it doesn't matter whether employees are at their desk for 9 hours or two hours," says an ex-Satyamite, who is currently working with a top telecom service provider in U.S.


PAY SCALE:  Salary is always seen as the biggest motivating factor.



The question which still remains unanswered is whether the laws of our land be more befitting to the employees working in various sectors at present or will the $50 billion IT industry structure out special laws and prerogatives for its workforce? If these problems are addressed, will the Indian workforce which contributes substantially to the U.S. economy, prefer to come back to their land?
