Get A Job And A Life Too CFO Services India

This is truly an era that allows you to live your
life on your own terms, at least as far as a job
is concerned. The contours of employment have
changed to the extent that you can now be a
full-time employee or a part-time staffer run
your own business or take a break and find a
second career later. In short, you have the
options to work and make a living the way you
deem fit.
Fresh graduates have become the most sought after
group of potential employees in the past 15 years
or so. Campus placements happen as early as in
the pre-final year and some companies groom
students right from the first year through
mentoring and project work to assess the
potential of their future employees. The IT
industry, the largest recruiter of fresh
graduates, is the forerunner in this quest for
young talent.

A report jointly released by Wheebox,
PeopleStrong and Linkedin in association with
CII, says that over 72 per cent of Indian
employers prefer young talent below 30 years. So,
if youre a fresher with talent and capability,
companies will welcome you with open arms, unlike
in your parents time when the decisive criteria
for employment was prior work experience.
If you're not the type that would fit in a work
environment with set rules and the pressure to be
content with slow organic growth, the
entrepreneurial world will be more than happy to
induct you. In these booming times for
entrepreneurship, all that is required of
aspiring businessmen is a workable idea. Finance,
market access, hiring assistance and
infrastructure are all coming together like never
before. Right from the Centre's Rs10,000-crore
fund for startups to the new impetus across
industry bodies to groom fledgling entrepreneurs
under their fold and the changing mindset about
getting into business, the ecosystem became more
than conducive this year.

"When I started out, there wasnt much help
available anywhere. Fast forward twenty years and
now you have everything served almost on a
platter, says Arun Jain, executive chairman of
Polaris Consulting Services. Finance is
available if you go to the right places and
industry veterans are willing to mentor upcoming
entrepreneurs. But to be successful, you will
have to relentlessly pursue and go after people
for their help. If you keep knocking on doors,
you will get the right guidance."
Entrepreneur incubation/mentorship programmes
are the latest fad with industry bodies. Almost
all of them have initiatives lined up to
identify, encourage and aid startup firms not
only in IT but also other verticals.

Again, you dont have to be fresher or a college
dropout for investors to pay attention to your
idea. You have enough opportunities, in fact
more, if you are an industry veteran, who wants
to try out entrepreneurship for a change. "In
fact, its the 40-plus that are becoming
entrepreneurs more than the fresh graduates. We
are seeing a lot of people who have seen career
success here in India or abroad, quitting their
jobs to become businessmen. This is true of
people who have saved a corpus and are entering
social sectors including agriculture and related
businesses," says Chandu Nair, a Chennai-based
entrepreneur and angel investor.
Doesn't matter if you don't belong to any of the
above categories if you're the type that detests
full-time work and or being tied to an
organisation, you have space to exist as well.
Several corporate organisations offer partial or
full work-from-home options that help employees
to be in control of their schedules. The BPO
sector is actively looking at this form of
employment and some have even started to
implement them.

Medical transcription leader Nuance
Transcription Services India has extended the
facility to its employees, especially in the
lower cadres. Traditionally, the only impediment
for such options was salary calculation how to
measure attendance and detect salary for absence
when employees dont come to office, was the big
question.
"There is a fixed salary component and a variable
part for our employees. The variable portion
depends on the number of lines they transcribe
per month," says Suresh Nair, head of operations
for Nuance Transcription Services India. "A vast
majority of our transcribers in the US are
employed under the work-from-home option. We
would want to replicate that in India as well."
As a special case within this category of
employment, if you are an expert in your field
and dont want to be tied to one organisation,
consultancy options are now aplenty. Companies
large and small are now open to hiring consultant
CXO-level employees on a per-project basis for
better efficiency.

"Doctors have all along been working on a
consultancy basis in multiple hospitals. Why
shouldnt other specialists do so?" asks S
Venkataraman, director of MyCFO. The company
offers outsourced CFO services, which means it
works with organisations that require CFO
presence but find it difficult to attract the
right talent promoters having misgivings about
having highly paid full-time professional
employees on board as CFO, and where a CFO may
have resigned and an interim arrangement needs to
be made or when there is a competent CFO in
place, but the firm needs support in
project-specific initiatives. Even CEOs are now
hired on a consulting basis, he adds.
Lastly, if youre a woman who values her career
but has familial responsibilities as well, you
wont be forced to choose between the two. You
can have both with your head held high. By
providing facilities from extended maternity
leave to childcare and second-career options,
organisations are becoming sensitive to your
special needs.

Says BVR Mohan Reddy, founder and executive
chairman of Cyient Ltd "We offer six-hour work
days exclusively for women with childcare needs.
Moreover, we try to accommodate them with work
that provides them the right flexibility."
Companies like Yahoo are even more progressive.
Their CEO Marissa Meyer delivered immediately
after joining Yahoo from Google and she
understands the pains women go through while
balancing work and family.
The company has recently rolled out improved
benefits to support the happiness and wellbeing
of Yahoo employees and their families. The New
Child Daily Habits programme at Yahoos Bangalore
unit includes five basic types of services used
within 15 days after the birth/adoption of a
child such as dry cleaning/laundry
housecleaning groceries cooking/food
delivery/take-out, and babysitter/child
care/nanny services.

Employees also get longer new child leave new
moms can now take up to 16 weeks of paid leave
while new dads can take up to eight weeks of
leave. So, what are you waiting for? This is the
best time to go to work, and with all these
facilities and options, you are your own boss
with the final say on your schedule.
