4 strategies for retaining IT talent

Becoming an engagement-focused IT leader

The CIOs I’ve been talking with are firmly focused on that last prong. They’re thinking about how they can seize this moment and turn it into a differentiator. While the last year proved how important IT is to the business, it also left a lot of frustration, fear, isolation, and burnout in its wake. These CIOs aren’t waiting it out and hoping their best people will stay. They’re proactively working on engaging their top IT talent so everyone is in a strong position to compete and deliver greater value as the economy picks up steam.
