Tool

Staff Level Allocation

Determining the need for hiring is often a difficult decision. Identifying roles and/or skills that are currently unfilled within the enterprise will help to articulate the need for new employees. Inventory the existing IT staff and skills within your enterprise and compare them to enterprise requirements.

Tool

Staff Cuts: Be Objective and Focus on Required Skills

Making staff reductions is not only an emotionally challenging task, but also one wrought with uncertainty and risk for error. This risk is magnified when time frames for reductions are short. Follow a structured and objective method for determining who needs to be cut to minimize mistakes and help the enterprise reduce costs.

Note

Hot IT Skills Focus on Business Strategy

In-demand IT skills change from year to year, but demand for business understanding and soft skills will not go out of vogue. Recruit and train skills that will advance enterprise strategy and augment the bottom line.
