Tech giant Infosys is doubling the pay packages of its employees who successfully complete its new bridge programmes, reported The Times of India.

According to TOI, Infosys has developed more than half-a-dozen bridge programmes that will help its staff to shift from their existing job to one that demands higher skill levels. The programmes, as per the report, are aimed at reducing attrition at junior levels.

“We are focused on creating a flexible internal market place for our talent to grow, instead of them leaving to join, say, an MBA course. These programs provide people with alternative career growth opportunities,” Krish Shankar, head of human resources at Infosys was quoted as saying in the report.

The development comes after several IT firms including TCS and Wipro, are coming up with ways to skill employees in various fields to make them stay for longer durations, the report added.
