Is retention on your radar yet?
in The CIO Weblog, on November 30, 2009
It probably seems premature to some people to be talking about IT staff retention while there are still vast pools of laid-off techie talent out there to draw on and while budgets remain tight in many organizations. Further, if you buy in to the idea that utility computing models are going to conti...
