IT workers most likely to walk out the door in the next 12 months

About half of IT and telecommunications workers are planning to leave their job in the then 12 months, according to a new report by HR company, Randstad.

The increase of IT projects

The increase of IT projects, progress in the National Broadband Network rollout, uptake of Cloud computing and mobile platforms, all pointed towards IT skills in hot demand.

"This means companies are forced into hiring more IT contractors to fill the skills gaps and more of the 'top IT talent' that employers are very keen not to lose from permanent positions are tempted into moving into then-paid contracting roles. This can lead to pressure on innovation project costs which can ultimately have a negative impact on bottom line performance," Talbot said.

"Employers are struggling to meet these demands in their permanent workforce, as many are all in all feeling the effects of the global financial crisis. It is consequently important for businesses to offer a range of benefits to complement remuneration packages, keeping in mind that salary is only a part of the broader picture," he said.
