Indian BPO firms not sweat shops claims Nasscom
V.V. Giri National Institute of Labour that works under the Indian labour ministry - had carried out a study of BPO facilities in the country and compared the work environment with 19th century prisons or Roman slave ships.
The institute's study says that workers at Indian business process outsourcing centres are monitored round-the-clock with specially designed software, computer networks and closed circuit cameras.
"The Indian outsourcing firms have among the highest employee satisfaction rates across any industry in India," the National Association of Software and Service Companies (Nasscom) said on Tuesday, reacting to the study.
