Description

As competition increases for high-caliber IT workers with specialized skills, interest declines in IT careers among young people, and older IT professionals consider retirement; CIOs are confronting the challenges of attracting, developing, and retaining IT talent and their impact on IT’s performance and reputation with the business. This teleconference will present data on current approaches to these talent management challenges from the four dimensions of recruitment, rotation and development, retention, and roles and skills in demand.

Agenda

• Recruiting: Where does IT recruit, specifically for entry-level talent?
• Rotation and development — What is the role of job rotation, career development plans, 9-box ranking, and IT mentoring programs in developing current staff?
• Retention — What mechanisms are other IT organizations utilizing to retain their staff?
• Roles and skills: What skill areas are on IT’s hiring, training, outsourcing, and contracting priority lists?
