Attrition and recruitment today figure among the top challenges that Sierra Atlantic's HR is trying to grapple with. All HR policies are being developed around the motto  “To attract, motivate, engage and retain the right talent by instituting ethically sound policies, realistic procedures and innovative practices to build lasting relationships and to bring about excellence in all our endeavors”.

Some of the initiatives introduced last year include setting up of a one-stop shop for addressing grievances; introducing policy on tuition fee reimbursement for certifications; HR Interact, an open house where all concerns and suggestions are noted and tracked to closure and efforts to reach out to onsite employees periodically. Sierra has a doctor on board, and has it introduced aerobics sessions at company premises and concierge services.

Despite some good initiatives, Sierra Atlantic is struggling with very high attrition levels. It has the highest attrition rate among the top 20 companies.
