The session moved on to the panel discussion which was on the topic “How to manage the contingent workforce”, with HRM present from different industries.

In retail sector manpower cost impacts, the profitability having a contingent workforce helps companies like Domino’s to deal with the customer during the peak hours of 7 pm. The advantage of the contingent workforce is the availability of manpower, enhancement of productivity and availability of the talent pool. The downside of the contingent workforce is the attrition rate which are in double digits. The discussion ended with a conclusion that the contingent workforce is required at the lower end of the pyramid where most of the work does not require a high level of skillset.

The Gyanodaya concluded with an interactive Q & A session, where the students actively participated by asking relevant questions and hence fulfilling their curiosity. Overall, it was an enlightening experience for the entire IIM Bodh Gaya fraternity.
