How can the CIO influence people managers to help employee retention?

Walk the talk, fairness, transparency and respect for the people. It only takes one unfair decision, making many mistakes and discussing them openly has the opposite effect - people follow humans. But be unfair just once. Put on someone else the burden of something that you had to accomplish and didn't, to save face with the business and your bonus. That day you will detonate waves of quiet quitting at all levels.

By ensuring they have regular, meaningful conversations with employees to understand whether the work they are doing is challenging, interesting, stimulating, and allowing personal growth. If not, then they should work with the line manager to address these concerns - if they go unchecked or are not addressed, the propensity to leave increases.

Employees have made it clear that they want to improve their skill sets and take use of new technology throughout the course of the pandemic. The statistics, on the other hand, demonstrates that even if businesses are using new technology, they aren't always doing it in a way that maximises the benefits for either the business or its employees. The employee experience is a factor in determining whether an employee stays or leaves, and technology has a greater influence on that experience than at any other time in history.

This presents a chance for chief information officers to step up and go beyond their usual responsibilities of just bringing new technology into production. Instead, they should concentrate on realising the promise of the technology by altering the ways in which work is carried out. Rollouts of new technology that go off without a hitch can foster a culture of trust among employees, provide them with possibilities for professional development, and inspire them to adopt new technologies.

CIOs are working relentlessly to fulfil the digital demands of the growing workplace, which include tools for team communication, cloud transformation, and work management solutions. As a direct result of this effort, nearly half of all CIOs aim to emphasise enhancing their digital capabilities.

By giving workers a wonderful experience, encouraging a positive work atmosphere, and fostering positive relationships with the management and staff.
