The war for IT talent is another topic frequently addressed in IDC's research from Boyd's program. Unisys is pulling out all stops to address the IT shortage. Visitors to the career section of its Web site have the ability to email listings to friends. Unisys also uses HireSystems to simplify and accelerate the resume review process. One of the company's secret weapons, however, is its subscription to IDC's Human Resources Strategies program.
Employee retention is another problem that HR professionals everywhere are struggling with.
Although Unisys's retention rate is much better than the industry average, the company still seeks IDC's expertise on the matter. Clark also suggested that the industry overall take a closer look at retention. She strongly endorses IDC's Human Resourcing Strategies program and encourages the entire HR community at Unisys to use it. Not only is it good information, it's easy to understand.
