LONDON, Nov. 8 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- Crisis worsens as workers re-assess their priorities or leave for more money

- Shortage in cyber security professionals highest ever – jumping by nearly a

  quarter this year

- Number of women working in tech continues to rise at a snail’s pace  

- 6 in 10 digital leaders report a decrease in the mental wellbeing of their

  tech teams

- Climate Change - companies are missing the opportunity to reduce the carbon

  footprint of power hungry tech

The seemingly unending growth in the global tech sector is under threat as

massive skills shortages reach an all-time high just as companies across the

world signal their intentions to increase technology investment (60% intend to)

and headcount (61%) to record levels, finds the world’s largest and longest

running survey of senior technology decision makers.

The Harvey Nash Group Digital Leadership Report

[https://www.harveynashgroup.com/DLR], in collaboration with CIONET and

contributed to by Massachusetts Institute of Technology CISR also found that as

the global tech skills crisis reaches new heights, 8 in 10 digital leaders

report that, post-pandemic, new life priorities amongst staff are making

retention even more difficult. 4 in 10 globally admit they can’t keep key

people as long as they would like, as they’re being lured away by the offer of

more money. Only 1 in 3 organisations (32%) have redesigned their employee

offer to make it attractive to staff in the new hybrid working world.

Bev White, CEO of Harvey Nash Group said:

“With businesses planning record levels of digital investment, we could be

standing on the verge of a ‘second renaissance’ for technology. Organisations

are looking to push their digital transformations further and faster than ever

before, putting technology at the very heart of how they operate. This will

take them beyond being merely ‘tech-centric’: technology will literally be

dispersed throughout the business, everywhere.”
