Health Care is right at the top of this list for sure...CIOs do need to take a look at who is shaking things up in the IT department and evaluate if things are stagnating... a balance of both old and new can really benefit..especially in the digital age we are in today...BD
However, while most conversations about retention focus on keeping good employees from walking out the door by making a company a better place to work, IT with a gradually aging work force and diminished pipeline of new recruits might be in for the opposite problem.
This is a particular concern for CIOs when they need to get new skill sets on staff, skills that older IT professionals might not be as familiar with.
"I think that there are two problems that are retention-related: One is not enough turnover and the other is too much," Alex Cullen, vice president and research director for Forrester Research, told eWEEK. "We hear CIOs wonder about not having enough turnover when they worry about their growth. Their work forces are gradually aging, and they're not necessarily getting the new people with fresh ideas. They have fewer people shaking things up, and they're concerned about getting stagnant."
