Abstract
This IDC study shows that the key to sustaining growth is the ability to
increase business productivity when confronted with IT human resource
constraints. Currently, Australian employers are experiencing an unprecedented
set of circumstances. Due to changing demographics, the working-age population
is shrinking and Australia is facing a skills crisis as a result. The economy
has delivered close to full employment, creating intense competition for IT
talent. Additionally, mature-aged workers are contemplating retirement and
today' s employees are independent and highly mobile. They place high value on
education and skills development, plus they also have high expectations of
work-life balance. The key to sustaining growth is the ability to increase
business productivity when confronted with this IT human resources constraint.
"It is imperative that organisations planning to sustain growth, include a
strategy focused on engaging and retaining the best IT talent in their business
plans," says Melissa Martin, senior market analyst, IDC Australia.
