IT staffing throws some unique challenges

0

A technology is only beneficial until the people are using it. And hence, the quality of people operating a technology is a key factor in deciding what kind of benefits that technology is going to provide your business.

But IT staffing is not as easy as it is seen. Even with a huge number of IT professionals out there, the demand and supply ratio is still inclined when it comes to quality. It’s not surprising why IT industry has historically had such high attrition rates. Even big companies that are good pay masters are faced with the problem of IT staff or budgets.

IT staffing throws some unique challenges, some of which are shown below:

1. Under staffing – In a recent survey conducted by a reputed agency, it was revealed that nearly two-thirds (64 percent) of CIOs found under staffing in their firm’s IT department as a reason for their inability to implement emerging technologies. Many organizations that lay off employees during the 2008 economic recession were finding it increasingly difficult to respond quickly to changes as business conditions improved.

2. Keeping the staff updated? With the rapid pace of evolution of technology, it is essential that the workface can keep pace with the new developments. If your employees’ knowledge is outdated, your firm is at a competitive disadvantage.

3. Growth ? While growth is definitely what all CXOs are after, it comes with its own set of problems. For many companies, shifting into growth mode can be very difficult task.

Even if the market presents great opportunities and less competition, there’s always a need for capable employees who can help put the company on a growth trajectory.

4. Attrition and Retention ? With a high attrition rate, retention has always been a challenge in the IT sector. It’s always the top priority for the HR department, especially in technology companies.  In a survey by an agency in USA, one-third (34 percent) of CIOs said they’re worried about losing top performers to other job opportunities in the next year.
