Culture-Driven Innovation: Building and Retaining Talented Technology Teams with Environments That Work

Dinner Location: The Metropolitan – Chicago

How can we build–and keep–better technology teams through the interaction of recruiting, technology choices, and company culture?

Talent acquisition and retention continue to be a major hurdle for organizations in 2023, particularly for skilled technology candidates. Statista has identified technology capabilities as the most in-demand skills worldwide, with that crunch only set to increase as inflation and competition rise. With so many businesses competing for the best talent, what will bring them to you–and make them want to stay?

In a recent study from North Ridge Partners, 51% of respondents indicated money and benefits matter the most to them when looking for a new role; notably, the remaining 49% strongly prioritized corporate culture and work/life balance. In light of this landscape, businesses must rethink how to offer a desirable mix of compensation, work-life balance, and culture in order to attract (and retain) top talent.

So, how can you ensure talent acquisition strategies are working for both employer and employee? How can businesses utilize technology choices and working practices to build better technology teams? And how, as leaders, are you staying more nimble and responsive to teams’ needs, rather than a one-size-fits-all solution?

Join a select group of your industry peers as you share your own challenges, experiences and discuss best practice at this Dinner Event in Chicago.
