The Belgian institution of teaching Katholeke Universiteit Leuven, Maddy Janssens, spoke quite frankly about the steps required to achieve a successful career in the IT industry. During a lecture given at an event held in Melbourne, Australia, Janssens explained the discoveries he made observations of different segments, such as pharmaceuticals and technology.
According to the teacher, the ideal is to study the script work offered by the employer. "On the script, means all the planning of the HR department of organizations, when it comes to career advancement," he says.
Expectations and reality
After the candidate or the official figure out which is the fuel for a career within the company, comes the second step: set expectations and goals. Janessens states that if there is any discrepancy between the script of the employer and the employee's aspirations toward an international career, it may be that other alternative employment will begin to be taken into consideration.
Alternative I
"In certain instances the action is the most appropriate output. For action means change. Possibly the aspirations of the employee does not correspond to the one proposed, it is time to look for another employer gives the employee a position within the strategic framework that seeks powers. For many of the managers we interviewed, this opportunity is realized when they attempt to allocate the headquarters of the companies, where decisions are made, "says the teacher.
According to the survey, most companies do not offer a career path that meets the needs of individuals looking for implementation at the international global economy. The drought afflicting the labor market, in relation to people with qualifications in Canberra, can mean the blow to companies that do not include plans to ascend interesting and attractive. The exodus of talent is imminent. It is more cautious CIOs to identify and try to hold good employees in companies.
The CIO organization's logistics Damatic, Allan Davis says that "a good management is an excellent measure against the restlessness in the department."
Alternative II
According to Davis, the migration of jobs in demand career plans that meet the employee is an erroneous approach. "It is assumed that the lives of others is more colorful than his own. It is part of the duties of IT management ensure that employees never reach this point, "he says.
The executive said that the pogo stick from one job to another is an option for large enterprises, while in the Damatic prefer to perform cross-promotions within the company.
"We believe in increasing the involvement of employees in the company's business, and we had several employees moving around over time. At the time I was employee of the service sector, a guy hired to work in the laboratory, today he is general manager of sales department. Once you identify someone in the department that seems to me a bit restless, I analyzed in an employee profile and talk with him, I present all opportunities open and offer you the chance to loosen the bonds of the IT department. " says the CIO.
Conclusion
Davis admits that hold good people in organizations has been a challenge for CIOs, but says it is perfectly manageable.
"The challenge," said Davis "is to maintain the occupation and propose interesting jobs that require constant commitment from employees. We want our employees understand the company's needs, do not believe that IT can do a good job if you do not thoroughly understand what the demands on the organization. "
