Talent management – the key to any successful IT leader.

What are the key things that keep the industry’s leading IT Directors and CIOs awake at night? Deciding which ERP will deliver the greatest benefit to the business at a reasonable price? Debating whether outsourcing their support organisation is the right thing to do? Wondering how they can use social networking tools that everyone is demanding with genuine business justification? From my daily discussions with some of the key leaders in the IT Leadership community, there is no doubt that all of the above play a part in making the role a challenging one. However, there is one thing that stands out above all others, and is at the core of every key decision – talent. Whether it be attracting and recruiting the best talent, or having a strategy to retain the best, having a ‘people strategy’ is critical to every IT Leader.

In a recent interview with the Michael Page International CIO, Andrew Wayland, I asked how important Talent Management was to him – “It is the most important part of my role. Without hiring and retaining the best people, we wouldn’t be able to achieve our objectives. You have to ensure you get your team in place, and that they are thriving in their roles.”

As one of the world’s leading professional recruitment organisations, we take our role in helping our customers to attract the best talent very seriously. We also believe in using our unique market position to provide insights and information to help IT professionals and their respective employers to make informed decisions.

So, whether you are an IT professional looking to check your current salary or interim rate against the industry average, an IT Director keen to understand what training your team would most like to see, or an HR Manager reviewing benefits and retention for your IT organisation, this Employment Index will be an invaluable tool.

Happy hunting.

Salary & Benefits

With the backdrop of a challenging economic climate in 2009, budget cuts and headcount reductions, IT professionals faced a similar challenge to the rest of the global business community. Although our survey demonstrates that there hasn’t been a significant downshift in the earnings across the IT job spectrum, there is also little evidence of increases. Only 15% of those surveyed received a pay increase in 2009, and the majority of these increases were less than 10%.

Outside of basic salary pay, total remuneration packages for IT professionals remain a hot topic of conversation for CIOs, HR teams and employees alike. With salary increases limited, leveraging total package becomes an increasingly important tool for attracting and retaining top talent. 28% of respondents received a performance-related bonus on top of their basic pay, while 21% receive a company car or car allowance. Bonus ranges vary from 5% to 40% of salary, while car allowances range from £5,000 to £14,000 per annum. 22% of respondents receive no additional benefits in addition to their salary.

Training & Development

When operating budgets are being reduced, it is often training and development budgets that are hit first. It is clear from our research that IT professionals hold significant value in training and development, and so CIOs need to ensure that this is a core element in both budgets and personal development planning. Industry certifications (both technical and process) still head up the most valued, with 44% of respondents. One of the most interesting findings is that 37% of respondents see business skills training as the most important. This reflects the changing nature of the skills needed to develop a successful IT career – the ability to understand business and communicate effectively are at the top of the list for a CIO hiring for the future.

Job Satisfaction

Staff retention and motivation is one of the key topics on the agenda for every CIO and IT Leader. So what is going to ensure you attract and retain the best talent? We asked our respondents to think about what matters most to them in the job. The challenge of the job and responsibility was by far the most important factor, with almost half (45%) of respondents citing this as key. As new projects and opportunities arise, it has never been more important for an IT Leader to ensure that their best people have clear career development plans, and are challenged by their role. Basic salary was voted as the second most important element, with 33%. Perhaps this is not overly surprising given the nature of the recession – a guarantee of being able to pay your mortgage at the end of the month outweighs the promise of potential performance related pay. This assumption is supported by the fact that only 14% and 8% respectively of respondents state that benefits and bonus are most important to them.

Job Security

So what impact has the recession had on the perception of job security for IT professionals? Our results clearly show that there is a strong element of instability – 34% feel very secure in their current jobs, whilst 28% feel insecure. Overall, two thirds of respondents have some concerns about their current security.

Job Search Status

What does job security mean for the IT job market in 2010? With the improvement in trading conditions, and a continuing increase in job openings, our survey asked respondents to give an indication of their activity in the job market. 35% stated that they are actively interested in new opportunities, and 34% are passively looking. With 69% in total interested in their next career move, it has never been more important for IT leaders to focus on providing a challenging environment, and a comprehensive personal development plan to attract and retain the best IT talent.
