Attract, Develop, & Retain Critical Software Engineering Talent for Hybrid Work EDT: 11:00 a.m. | BST: 16:00
CEOs say the biggest inhibitor of digital business is the lack of suitable talent and capabilities, according to the Gartner CEO and Senior Business Executive Survey. Thus, attracting, developing and retaining great engineering talent is now the top concern for application and software engineering leaders. There is an ongoing talent war, fueled by digital transformation mandates accelerated by the pandemic and the increased need for up-to-date technical and product management skills. Yet, this excessive focus on hiring talent comes at the expense of strengthening internal development. Critical positions remain unfilled, placing digital business transformation at risk for delays or even failure. In this complimentary webinar, Gartner experts share proven tactics to attract, develop and retain critical software engineering talent in your organization. You will gain new insights from the latest Gartner research on the employee value proposition, talent management, and the future of work reinvented.
