India launches IT workers register
Will it succeed ? With demand outpacing supply, companies might tend to overlook this. But its a start.
FT reports, " Nasscom, India's software employers’ organisation, launched a nationwide register of IT employees on Wednesday, aimed at preventing security breaches.
The register, believed to be the first of its kind, will include workers’ photographs, fingerprints, signatures, passport numbers, educational backgrounds and employment histories. The database will be voluntary for workers but employers may choose to hire only those on the register.Mr Mehta said he expected 1.3m workers covering 1,000 companies to be registered within 12 to 18 months. Employee data are to be refreshed every five years.
IT companies Satyam Computer Services, Tata Consultancy Services and Mphasis have already mobilised employees to sign up. The database will be monitored by independent background checkers, such as KPMG and Quest Research."
