IT pros 2.5 times more likely to jump ship than other workers

With the economy improving, companies could face more retention difficulties than in years before. And the challenge could be tougher with some groups of workers than others.
IT staffers are 2.5 times more likely than the average worker to look for a new job in 2010, according to a recent Computerworld survey.
Worse, only 4% of IT workers consider themselves “highly engaged” in their jobs.
What can employers do to get these valuable workers to stay put? A new Robert Half Technology study found the number one priority of over half of CIOs is retaining IT staffers. And they’re not just offering huge pay increases to do it.
One in five says their plan to retain tech workers is offering increased training this year.
