India Inc is finding it hard to fill in key positions in research, sales and IT due to lack of training and experience, an annual global talent survey said Thursday.
"Sixty-seven percent of employers in India are experiencing difficulty filling mission-critical positions within their organizations like research and development (R&D), sales and information technology (IT) staff," said the sixth annual talent shortage survey by global human resource, consultancy and staffing firm ManpowerGroup.
According to the report, the main reason for such supply shortage is the lack of training and the required experience for the positions which are in very high demand by the industry.
Citing the reports finding as alarming, Sanjay Pandit, ManpowerGroup India managing director, said: "The fact that companies are citing a lack of skills or experience as a reason for talent shortages should be a wake-up call for organizations, education, government and individuals."
