The Retention Equation: Personal Investment + Organizational Responsibility
Staying in a technology career takes intention. Building an organization where great people want to stay takes commitment. Both matter, and neither happens by accident. This WIT Forum brings together technology professionals and the leaders who shape their environments to examine both sides of the retention equation honestly. What do individuals need to own about their own career trajectory? And what do organizations need to commit to if they want to keep the talent they have worked hard to build?
This is not a session about resilience or perseverance. It is an honest look at what individuals can evaluate and act on, and what organizations need to build to ensure technology careers last. Whether you have been navigating this question for years, have stepped away and returned, or are just beginning to ask it, this conversation belongs to you.
Why attend:
- Understand what separates organizations that retain technology talent from those that don't, and what that means for your career decisions
- Gain perspective you can apply whether you are evaluating where to invest your career or building the environment others want to stay in
- Hear candid insight from leaders on what retention actually requires at the organizational level
- Leave with specific questions to ask, actions to take, and things to look for, regardless of where you are in your career
- Connect with a cross-industry community of technology professionals and allies committed to making technology careers sustainable for everyone
Panelists Include:
- Mike Park, Chief Information Officer, Infor
