Flipkart Pulls Of One OF The Biggest Employee Retention Coups Yet!

Earlier in the year, Flipkart issued a statement it would issue stock options for all its eligible employees under a stock option plan to prevent them from being affected by the share price drop during their latest fundraiser. Thousands of Flipkart employees received shares of stocks under this scheme. The people who were eligible for this particular plan were those who were issued shares after the recent revaluation. Flipkart created this new scheme in an attempt to make a big impact in their end financial game plan.

The new plan by Flipkart is considered to be one of the biggest buyback plans that has been approved by a capital venture. Through the new plan, the board of Flipkart made sure that they can help about 6000 former and current employees. This is one of the biggest incentives by the company to help these employees to liquidate their share holdings in Flipkart.

The move came at a time when Flipkart realized most of its spending was on salaries. In order to reduce this expenditure, Flipkart decided to give 35% to 40% of its mid level to senior level employees stock values rather than to pay them the entire salary. This bid has also been launched in an attempt to retain employees with exceptional talents and value adding capabilities.

In a bid to create a greater employee retention scheme, Flipkart is aiming at creating a unified employee and employer relationship, making working a unique and fun experience.
