The abrupt change in industrial activities in India has started after the implementation of the new economic policy in July 1991 that has brought a significant departure from controlled, regulated and protected (CRP) economy to the liberalized, privatized and global (LPG) economy. In order to face challenges and obtain competitive advantage organizations need to have a reservoir of dynamic, committed, loyal and contented workforce.
