Retention of New Hires is Key in a Tight Labor Market

IT job market prospects are tied to overall US national employment

IT skills are very transferable. The IT job market is tight with over 200,000 open positions due to a lack of qualified candidates. If a qualified IT pro is not pleased with their existing position, it is not to hard to find another. It no longer is a stigma to change jobs every few years.

The current 25 to 45 year old IT pros, for the most part, are not tied to a particular company that they plan on working for 20 years or till retirement. Many of them feel it is normal to work for a year or two for a company, get the experience and training they need, and move on to a new company - even into a new industry. Company locality is a thing of the past. That was not the case 10 to 20 years ago.

Covid only made the problem worse because so many companies went out of business and IT departments were reduced or eliminated via outsourcing. IT pros feel that it happened once to them or their friends and will happen again. Therefore they have to look out for themselves and change jobs when it suits them.

What companies have to do is give employees a reason to stay. The key is to have a stable management team from CIO down to supervisor. The focus has to be on long term team development with a compensation and fringe benefit program that rewards long-term loyalty.

Pay grades mandated by California

California is not the only state or city to require pay grades

Just signed into law and required by January 1, 2023. Over 200,000 California companies with 15 or more workers will be required to publicize the salary range on new job postings and give demographic pay reports to a state civil rights agency.

This salary-range requirement applies both to postings made directly by a business, as well as postings made by a third party.

"The bill would require an employer with 15 or more employees that engages a third party to announce, post, publish, or otherwise make known a job posting to provide the pay scale to the third party and would require the third party to include the pay scale in the job posting,", according to the new mandate.

Janco's Job Family Classification & Pay Grade System

A job family classification system is one that defines how individuals can grow in to higher level positions over time by providing benchmarks and milestones that need to be achieved as they advance over time. This in time, impacts the responsibilities and compensation that is paid in a fair and objective manner.
