Attrition among women employees in tech firms in the country has soared and is at 30% to 40% since December 2022 against the industry’s average attrition of 15%, tweeted Karnataka IT Minister Priyank Kharge on Tuesday (June 27).
Speaking to The Hindu, he said the data was brought to his attention by HR outfits that conducted exit interviews for techies in the city. There has been a 1% to 1.5% dip in the overall share of women in the knowledge workforce since December last year, the Minister stressed.
“Quite worrisome. Women logging out of tech workforce is not good for us,’‘ his tweet further said.
