IT Industry Rundown – Spring 2022

Spring 2022

Welcome!

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.
