MUMBAI/NEW DELHI : As the wait gets longer for India’s missing migrant workers, companies are making a renewed push to get them back to work with offers of better work conditions and higher perks, including higher wages, healthcare facilities and living quarters among others.
An estimated 10 million workers have left India’s cities and industrial centers during the lockdown but with the economy now in a reboot phase, the action in the immediate term has shifted to the supply side of things, where many companies are finding it hard to keep up with reviving demand due to acute shortage of manpower.
