During Technical.ly's Builder conference last week, I heard about a small change that went a long way.Vanguard's Janine Galen (she/her) said during a panel her company had been working to improve retention of workers from diverse backgrounds.Then, a cultural nuance emerged. As veteran workers transitioned into civilian life, turns out the corporate idea of pushing back on your bosses can seem a bit foreign when you're fresh out of the military.“They don’t realize they can say, ‘What’s the priority?’” Galen said.Addressing this — and other similar cultural barriers — let Vanguard boost its retention of workers from non-traditional and underrepresented backgrounds, a tall order for most technology organizations today.Attracting and retaining diverse talent is still very much a challenge in the tech field -- no matter how many layoff stories you read this year. In this age of AI for AI's sake, turns out small, human-centric changes can make a world of difference. Here's the full story via CIO Dive:

    The demand for tech talent is skyrocketing—which is no surprise. However, an imminent challenge persists—filling high-demand tech roles. To effectively combat this, we need to alter our approach. It starts with rethinking the hiring process. Prioritizing skills and potential over credentials can widen the talent pool and introduce diverse perspectives.Next, investing in retraining existing employees can help organizations fill tech positions internally. With the speed at which technology changes, continuous learning is no longer a luxury—it's a necessity.Lastly, a great company culture can't be overlooked. Fostering an environment of growth, inclusion, and recognition can significantly improve talent retention.At ODG, we understand these challenges and are here to help you navigate this talent shortage.
