Technology Leadership and Innovation Management focus on providing individuals with a competitive advantage when moving into leadership and supervisory roles in technology-based organizations. Rapidly accelerating trends in innovation and technology have implications for a technology leader. Because hiring and training new employees is expensive, it is more cost effective to retain existing employees. Unfortunately, the best workers are most likely to receive tempting offers from rival businesses. That’s especially true in the increasingly important and competitive field of information technology.
Research to find examples of retention strategies implemented to retain IT employees.
In your opinion, which of these strategies are likely to be most effective? Explain the reasons for your recommendations.
Provide at least one reference to support your post.
In your response post, comment on whether you agree or disagree with your classmates, raise relevant questions, and share additional resources.
