Account for employees’ futures: Give them time to discuss their career goals and provide room to achieve them.
Enable room to grow: Allow employees to learn something new and develop different skills they can bring back to the IT department.
Promote meaningful work: Employees want their work to be meaningful and exciting. CIOs should make a note to promote exciting projects to prospective employees.
