  • Description: The demand for IT professionals with suitable skills continues to be high, even with the threat of recession. In an industry whose long-term annual turnover has typically been over 20%, a thoughtful retention strategy is essential for every IT organization. Offering a good salary is a start, but there are other key factors. Most important is open and honest communication, followed by good worker-supervisor relationships. Another important factor is autonomy and flexibility. Providing a balanced education program is fundamental. Another consideration is work/life balance. Organizations must anticipate the needs of IT professionals and proactively address them.
