What tech employees want and aren’t getting

A new survey says IT employees feel out of step with their organizations and aren’t as motivated as other workers.
Only 25% of IT workers are “fully engaged” in their work, according to the new “The State of Employee Engagement 2008″ by consulting firm BlessingWhite. Also, only 62% of them say they trusted their company’s senior management.
Why is that? And how can it be fixed?
Here’s what IT employees say would help increase their motivation:
- More development/advancement opportunities and training (27%)
- Greater clarity about what the company needs from IT, and why (20%)
- More feedback about performance (20%)
- More resources (12%)
- A coach or mentor, other than a direct supervisor (9%)
- Better communication with supervisors (6%),
- A better relationship with co-workers (5%).
