For the last few years, the managers, researchers as well as the policy makers have been struggling to find a solution for effective talent management. An organisation needs to survive the competition and therefore, it is of immense importance that they are successful in retaining their critical employees (who are a source of their competitive advantage) for longer periods of time, or at least until it's mutually beneficial for both the company and the employee. There have been studies in the past which delve into the area of factors influencing the employee's intention to leave, and what possible measures can be introduced by the organisations in order to retain those employees. This working paper is a qualitative enquiry into the issues of attrition and retention among the knowledge workers in the state of Jharkhand, in India. It is expected to be able to be generalized further for the knowledge workers in the whole of India. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the present era when the world is trying to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic through preventive measures like social distancing, taking greater care of personal and oral hygiene and so on, professionals are required to work from home.

Given this scenario, educators are entrusted with the responsibility of working from home and ensuring effective online delivery of contents to students through available digital teaching platforms. In this context, we try to look into the potential of MOOCs as a new mode of education which has further gained importance owing to the current suspension of conventional classes across all institutions globally. The present paper seeks to analyze the impact, potential and challenges associated with MOOCs in the present era of online education in the wake of the pandemic COVID-19. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
