It's a first! Infosys launches cash reward policy for employees who help with hiring; staff to earn Rs 700 per interview
The scheme awards 700 points (Rs 700) for each interview conducted. (AI image) Infosys , India's second-largest software company, has launched a new initiative offering cash rewards to senior staff members who participate in lateral recruitment interviews, aiming to enhance staff engagement. The Bengaluru-based IT firm has introduced this incentive-driven scheme for the first time. The cash benefits are restricted to recruitment within India. This initiative recognises staff contribution to the interview process during a period when the IT industry is prioritising lateral recruitment over campus placements. A staff member indicated that this initiative aims to motivate team managers and mid-level leadership to acquire external talent and encourage employees to connect with high-calibre candidates. The scheme awards 700 points (Rs 700) for each interview conducted. Staff members can claim rewards for interviews dating back to January 1, as the programme is being implemented with retrospective effect, according to sources who spoke to ET. At the organisation, technical professionals including track leads, architects and project managers at job levels 5 and 6 (JL5 & JL6) regularly conduct 2-3 rounds of interviews with candidates selected by the talent acquisition team for lateral recruitment, before proceeding to the HR stage. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pinga-Pinga e HBP?

During these events, staff members can conduct 10-15 interviews daily, evaluating candidates' proficiency in software technologies including Python, Java, Machine Learning, DevOps, and others. The monetary incentive serves to boost interview participation. The organisation has not included HR personnel, talent acquisition staff, contractors and senior leadership positions from participating in the incentive scheme. The reward cannot be claimed for cancelled interviews or when candidates fail to appear. The $280 billion software services industry faces a scarcity of skilled professionals, particularly in AI, whilst dealing with growth challenges caused by declining global demand and trade conflicts in primary markets. The initiative was introduced to address concerns among employees who received modest salary increases of 5-8% for FY24, coupled with reduced performance bonuses for the March quarter. "Earlier, we did not get any such cash incentive for interviews done. In fact, the company gave us compensatory leaves for the interviews conducted at the campus over the weekends," the employee said. Although this practice isn't widespread, several prominent and medium-sized technology organisations, including Honeywell, Accenture and Sonata Software, provide monetary and non-monetary benefits to motivate staff participation in interview panels, ensuring the recruitment of top industry talent.

This new technology promises faster charging and reliable performance, shaping how vehicles function
The automotive industry is adapting to the fast changing technological landscape. The mode of transportation has transformed over the decades, be it in terms of design, features or technology. Now, a Chinese company named CATL has come up with a battery that could change the way people use electric cars. This new battery can charge much faster than the ones most electric cars use today. The idea is to make charging almost as quick as filling petrol in a regular car. With this new battery, they are trying to make electric cars more practical for everyday use. It gives around 323 miles (520 kms) of driving range after just five minutes of charging. That means less waiting at charging stations and more time driving. It also works well in cold conditions, still charging fast even when temperatures are very low. CATL shared this new battery just before a big motor show in Shanghai. The company is known for supplying batteries to big car brands like Tesla, Ford and General Motors. Even in freezing weather, the battery can go from five percent to eighty percent in just fifteen minutes. This is helpful for people who live in cold places where batteries usually charge slowly. Along with this battery, CATL also revealed two more ideas. One is a battery system that combines two different types of cells to offer a very long range of up to 932 miles (1500 kms). The second is a sodium-ion battery. This one is better for the environment and keeps most of its power even when temperatures fall very low. These new battery upgrades can make life easier for people who drive every day. Faster charging means electric cars are more convenient and practical, encouraging more people to choose them instead of petrol vehicles. These batteries also offer strong performance in all seasons, even during very cold weather. For people who drive every day, these upgrades could mean shorter charging times and more reliable performance all year round. Charging quickly makes it easier to own an electric vehicle and gives people one more reason to switch from fuel-powered cars.

Car Insurance May Get Costlier, Here's How Much You'll Need To Pay
Last Updated: The Road Transport Ministry is likely to decide on the proposal in 2–3 weeks. A draft notification will be issued for public feedback once it gets approval The government is considering an imminent increase in the motor third-party insurance premium, based on recommendations from the insurance sector regulator, IRDAI. According to a CNBC-TV18 report, this proposal has led to a significant rise in the shares of companies such as ICICI Lombard General Insurance, Go Digit General Insurance, and New India Assurance Company. IRDAI has suggested an average premium increase of 18 percent, with some vehicle categories seeing hikes of up to 20 to 25 percent. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) will make the final decision on this proposal, expected within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Once approved, a draft notification will be issued for public consultation, followed by a review process before implementation. Moneycontrol published this report, and due to its impact, the shares of insurance companies saw a rise. Shares of ICICI Lombard rose by 7 percent, reaching the highest level in the last three months. Shares of Go Digit Insurance rose by about 5 percent, marking the highest level in the last six months. At the same time, shares of New India Assurance Company rose by about 2 percent. What Is Third Party Insurance? Motor third-party insurance compensates for damages to a third party in a road accident, covering expenses if a person is injured or their property damaged by your vehicle. This insurance is mandatory under the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988, ensuring that the insurance company covers the costs if someone else is harmed by your vehicle. There has been no change in the premium for the last three to four years, despite various uncertainties in the sector. Experts believe that a 20 percent premium increase could enhance the performance of insurance companies and provide relief to the sector.
