Pramod Pachisia, Board Member of the Indian Staffing Federation & COO of 2COMS Consulting Pvt. Ltd. shared key insights at the Global Trends in Employment webinar, reflecting on how the staffing industry has evolved through both employee participation and organizational acceptance. From the employee’s perspective, continuity in employment, longer engagement with staffing agencies, and stronger compliance practices have brought greater stability. On the organizational side, companies are seeing longer retention cycles and increased value from outsourced talent. He also highlighted how factors like a supportive economy, proactive governance, the rise of Start-up India, and the expansion of the manufacturing and service sectors have made staffing an entrepreneur’s dream. The path forward, he emphasized, lies in specialization and building workforce capabilities aligned with industry growth.

As per Notification No. WSU/TransferClaim/E-52972/2025-26/07, dated 20 May 2025, issued by the Ministry of Labour & Employment, overlapping service periods should not be treated as a ground for rejecting transfer claims if the overlap is due to genuine and traceable reasons. Regional offices have been directed to process claims even in case of overlaps, after verifying the legitimacy of the overlap and obtaining a clarification from the employer. The aim is to ensure error-free transfer of PF without delay, especially when multiple account numbers exist for a single member. Employers and PF Offices must note that genuine overlaps should not disqualify a member from effecting a transfer, and all stakeholders must adhere to the updated verification protocols for smoother claims processing.

Pandiarajan K, Corporate Member of the Indian Staffing Federation & Executive Chairman, CIEL HR Group, shared a powerful story at the Global Trends in Employment webinar on how global inspiration and local vision sparked India’s staffing revolution. A foreign staffing firm once hired Indian “deputies” to extinguish an oil well fire earning over a million dollars without even opening an office. This moment became a turning point. From one-man operations to companies employing thousands, the industry’s growth was fueled by a bold employment vision championed by Mr. Montek Singh Ahluwalia. He also highlighted the Employment Diamond, a framework built on four pillars: Security, Dignity, Productivity, and Flexibility of employment still guiding the staffing ecosystem today.
