Synopsis Human resources are the most valuable resources and also an asset to any organization and so they have to be handled meticulously. With the effect of globalization, the service sector share in GDP is higher than the manufacturing and agriculture sectors. BPO sector is the sector, which witnessed a tremendous growth with Call Centres as a major support. This sector is chiefly people-driven and competitive with high attrition rates creating tremendous challenges to the HR fraternity.

The organizations are not able to provide a conducive environment to the employees and this has led to serious thinking in favour of a system called Performance Management System.
