Chennai:
Indian Staffing Federation (ISF) is working on trying to provide social security apparatus to more than two crore workers who have not been included under the labour laws, according to president of ISF K Pandia Rajan.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of a national conclave on ‘Freedom of employment and the role of governance in enabling this employment’ here on Thursday, Rajan, said that the solution is to go for organized flexi-staffing or temporary staffing so that the workers are covered under social security.
Rajan said that ISF is for dignity and security of employees. He said that as per a latest national survey, 13.9 million people got employed in 2011-12 of which a majority of jobs created was of low quality and in unorganized sector with little or no economic or social security and benefits.
He said ISF is looking at creating a conducive environment while focusing on the need for corporate governance practices for effective staffing that need to be practiced by the state, the companies and employees simultaneously.
Currently, India has 1.3 million flexi staff or temporary staff. Flexi-staffing is of different kinds. It could be either leased employees or contract workers. It also acts as a springboard for first-time job seekers. Currently, top two leading firms in this sector have earned revenues worth Rs 1,000 crore due to flexi-staffing, says Rajan, who is non-executive chairman of Ranstad India.
