Welcome back to another edition of
PSCI's client newsletter, the IT Industry Rundown!
The hurdles facing IT leaders in 2022 are much the same as they
were in 2021: bolstering security, managing remote workforces, and
keeping up with the speed of digital transformation.
Perhaps the most pressing concern, however, is finding and
retaining top technical talent.
That's why in this edition of our quarterly newsletter we've linked
to articles from top IT industry publications that focus on both
talent attraction and retention.
We begin, however, with the latest insights from the PSCI blog.
Included are posts that focus on Gen Z talent attraction and
retention, 5G, and a testimony to the work done by African American
inventors and scientists.
I hope you find these articles both informative and enlightening.
As always, please remember to connect with us on
LinkedIn,
Twitter, and
Facebook for the latest IT industry news and
information.
