Abstract: The organizations in Indian context like others have been forced to initiate certain changes in their HR practices due to the cut-throat competition created by opening up of the Indian economy and changing employee demographics and psychographics. The present study attempts to make a significant contribution by determining the level of adoption of the selected HR practices in the selected Indian organizations as perceived by the employees working in these organizations along with assessing their relationship with employee demographics. The results reveal that higher attention has been paid to practices aimed at improving employee competencies than those influencing employee behaviors. It has also been found that younger and less experienced employees have perceived the organizations surveyed to be low on adoption of selected HR practices.
