Retention

Retaining top IT professionals is critical in today's ever-changing technical market. Learn about research and various strategies to help maximize retention of your valuable resources.

Over 10.4 million people in the U.S. are IT workers – directly accounting for approximately 7 percent of the nation's workforce. This sizeable group has many commonalities with the rest of the modern workforce. For many, this means the ability to secure a position that offers balance between the time spent at work and time spent on personal endeavors.

Don’t underestimate the constant pressure your top performers are under to defect. With talented people getting harder and harder to find, your competitors are using more invasive tactics to recruit your people.

Company-subsidized training and certification for your IT staff is not just another perk. When implemented properly, these initiatives can be valuable tools for hiring and retaining IT professionals.
