<description><![CDATA[Anyone who's been in the workforce in the past few years knows what a rollercoaster it's been. But things are looking up, according to a recent survey of IT professionals from Technisource. The company's latest IT Employee Confidence Index reveals that optimism levels have climbed above 50, after dipping below that critical mark last year. Overall, tech workers feel better about job security, employment-search prospects and the future of their organizations. &quot;With the demand for IT professionals steadily increasing, confidence is rising once again,&quot; says Andrew Speer, president of technology solutions for Technisource. &quot;We're seeing great demand for project managers, analytics professionals and .NET application developers, demonstrating that companies are opening their budgets and embracing technology implementation.&quot; And one-third of employees are actively looking for new employment, Speer notes, meaning CIOs and other tech managers must focus on the needs of IT teams to avoid unnecessary hiring and re-training costs. More than 245 IT professionals took part in the research.   -  ...]]></description>

<pubDate>Mon, 23 Jan 2012 13:25:49 -0500</pubDate>
<link>http://www.cioinsight.com/c/a/Careers/How-to-Attract-and-Keep-Young-Workers-368704/?kc=rss</link>
<description><![CDATA[Today's young workers are extremely tech-savvy, and the technology they'll have access to is a major consideration for many as they join the workforce. Many are used to having 24/7 access to email and the Internet on their smartphones or tablets. And with extensive knowledge of the Internet and its many services, more are using Web-based applications for many of the solutions they use on a daily basis. As an employer, making sure you have the right technology on hand to both appeal to and keep your younger workers happy is an important consideration when plotting out your technology roadmap. Keeping workers helps reduce training costs over time, and it could also help you sell your CEO on some product purchases. You know that cloud solution you're dying to implement? Well, tell the CEO about your young workforce being able to take advantage of it to work extra hours, and it might just happen. Want to bring iPads to the office? Tell the top executive that it might just improve productivity. As your company tries to find an edge in a job market filled with educated Millennials, technology could very well be the differentiating factor that helps you attract and retain a young workforce. Here's why.   -  ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[CIOs and other top organizational executives foresee a global talent shortage looming for the next several years, according to recent research from Deloitte. The consulting firm released the results of its survey in a new report, &quot;Talent Edge 2020: Redrafting Talent Strategies for the Uneven Recovery.&quot; When it comes to adequately appointing leaders and staffing key operations, the report says fallout from the talent shortage could be significant. In addition, retaining younger workers has emerged as a key issue for many organizations. Ultimately, companies that invest aggressively in talent management and development programs will reap rewards, the report concludes. &quot;Today's top talent organizations are not sitting back and waiting for a slow recovery to solve their talent challenges,&quot; says Alice Kwan, talent services leader for Deloitte Consulting. &quot;These executives are more likely to invest &amp;#8209; by a two to one margin &amp;#8209; across the board on talent priorities.&quot; More than 375 senior executives and talent managers at large companies worldwide took part in the research.

<link>http://www.cioinsight.com/c/a/Careers/Can-You-Expect-a-Raise-in-2012-815746/?kc=rss</link>
<description><![CDATA[If youve been promising your loyal IT staffers that youll take care of them with raises when the economy turns around, 2012 is unlikely to be the year you get to make good on those promises. While employees in some roles will see increases this year, raises will be held in check, according to the most recent annual salary survey/forecast from Janco Associates. And CIOs and other executive-level IT managers will be in the same boat, likely to see level compensation from last year. “For information technology, the recession has bottomed out and the hiring of IT professionals will increase in 2012,” says Victor Janulaitis, CEO at Janco. “However there still are a number of companies that will continue to be cautious, concerned that the recovery will not be strong enough to support increased IT spending. Cost control is still the rule of the day.” One encouraging sign: There will be a surge in the number of part-timers and contractors hired for mission-critical projects, which bodes well for eventual increases in overall salaries. Also, if youre looking to find other ways to pay workers without increasing base pay, bonuses are trending upward, the research shows. Tech professionals representing more than 1,100 companies took part in the research. For more about the survey, click here.   -  ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[When it comes to power in the boardroom, men seem to be enjoying more than their fair share, according to a new report, &quot;Women and the Paradox of Power.&quot; While many companies try to level the playing field between male and female employees and executives, female CIOs and other executives say their male counterparts are disproportionately calling the shots, according to the report, by Jane Perdue of Braithwaite Innovation Group and Dr. Anne Perschel of Germane Consulting. Many women in the higher echelons of business say they don't have the power they need to do their jobs effectively, and don't harbor high hopes that power is forthcoming. To help turn that around, female executives need to banish thoughts of living out a &quot;Cinderella story,&quot; in which power is given to them as a reward instead of something they have to go out and take for themselves.  More than 230 senior-level professional women took part in the survey upon which the report is based, which also includes research from the White House, the National Association for Female Executives, and other organizations.

<description><![CDATA[Just because you've been downsized doesn't mean you have to stay down and out. Many employees who've been laid off due to downsizing are finding their way back to the workforce, even if they have to make some sacrifices along the way. In fact, a majority of the workers laid off in the last year have found jobs, according to a survey from Career Builder. Many were willing to relocate or even undergo a complete career makeover in order to get back in the game, the survey finds. Meanwhile, job seekers who are unfamiliar with new technologies can struggle, as not being up-to-snuff skill-wise can have a far-reaching economic impact, says Brent Rasmussen, president of CareerBuilder North America. &quot;We have a growing skills gap and the need to get millions of Americans back to work,&quot; he says. &quot;As the economy recovers, we must focus on retraining workers to help them move to new fields with a greater number of opportunities.&quot; More than 800 professionals who were laid off from full-time jobs in the past year took part in the research. Here are selected highlights:   -  ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[While it might be premature to say that happy days are here again, the job market for tech professionals is looking sunnier for the first half of 2012, according to a recent survey of IT-focused hiring managers and recruiters by Dice.com. The majority of respondents said they plan to hire more IT talent during the first half of 2012, and that those IT pros are likely to command higher salaries. This is good news for CIOs and other senior tech managers, many of whom have struggled to balance having fewer employees and increasing organizational demands. Yet finding the right kind of highly skilled job candidate continues to be a challenge as proven performers may choose to remain in their current jobs. &quot;The pace of improvement has been impacted by broader economic concerns,&quot; says Alice Hill, managing director of Dice.com. &quot;Many companies are chasing mid-career talent. But the elevated economic uncertainty makes it tougher for hiring managers to lure tech professionals into leaving their current positions.&quot; Nearly 1,200 IT-focused hiring managers and recruiters took part in the research. Dice.com is a leading hub for IT professionals. Here are highlights from the survey:   -  ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The turbulent economy is taking a toll on worker confidence – and IT professionals are far from immune. Recent surveys from Technisource and Glassdoor reveal that employees are growing increasingly pessimistic about career prospects as the impression that a sustained rebound remains elusive lingers. The latest Technisource IT Employee Confidence Index score has dipped below the 50 mark, for example, and very few tech professionals feel that the economy is getting any better. Meanwhile, Glassdoor reports that U.S. employees are “on edge” with a significant share of workers concluding that the economy will lead to either a stalled out career or even a lost job. &quot;Employee confidence in the job market and compensation levels appears to be at a pause, in much the same way the economy is stuck between growth and contraction right now,&quot; says Rusty Rueff, a Glassdoor career and workplace expert. “Employees and job seekers are both expressing deep concern that continued market uncertainty will impact hiring and their careers and ability to find jobs in the near future.&quot; More than 2,290 adults took part in the Glassdoor survey, for which results may be accessed here. Nearly 260 IT professionals took part in the Technisource survey, which may be accessed here. Here are highlights from both reports:   -  ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There are three very real and current challenges that are the big reasons for demoting the CIO. In place of attempting to give you a 30-second version on the “new” role of the CIO, Id like to open a dialogue. Id like to present just one idea that I believe will be helpful to IT leaders in both forming a sense of their role today and into the future. Most importantly, Ill present and test that one idea against the big three reasons to demote the CIO to see how it stands up. You get to be the judge.   -  It doesnt take a genius to figure out that when a group of people (say, CIOs for example) are constantly talking about their role and the future of their role, its likely they are in trouble whether they want to admit it or not. Judging from whats been appearing online and in print over the past 24 ...]]></description>
