The most important thing in the IT industry today is human resources.How do you operate the team, understand the motivation of the staff, and make the smart human resources work effectively to make the best decisions?And it is important how to lead a group of creative people who can have a huge impact on the performance of the organization.
However, some managers do not know that their vision for those who work in the IT field has changed.In particular, many companies have thought that IT is like plumbing work.I think it's necessary, but it's not the core of work, nor is it an exciting job.
The IT world has changed dramatically in the last 10 years.The total number of people working in the general IT department may not have changed much, but the team's composition has changed dramatically.
In the past, the important thing was hardware.Many organizations operated most of the technology they need.At that time, all hardware, including e -mail servers and web servers, were installed in their own data centers and basements, and engineers were taking care of their equipment.
But as you know, the appearance of cloud computing has changed this situation.Corporate data centers are continuing to shrink, and the number of companies finds the meaning of building financial systems and other systems on their own, and we think that it is better to buy from cloud service operators.There is.
In response to this change, the IT department has changed.In the current IT department, it is important to prior to competitors in business and cause a successful breakthrough.This means that it is extremely important for the highest information manager (CIO) and other IT officers to operate a team so that the ability to utilize excellent human resources and to achieve business results.。
However, demand for human resources working in IT fields such as developers and security experts is high, and these human resources have excellent working abilities regardless of location (have a notebook PC and can work at the destination.The IT industry is inevitably one of the first industries influenced by changes in working style.
Especially in the past 18 months, remote work has become a common choice for many office workers, and even if the boss wants to work the staff at the office desk again, the employees do not want to change the current situation.。
Both claims are persuasive.It is clear that the efficiency of working from home is easy, but it is clear that the team actually gathers to solve the problem.
But at this time, employees and management seem to be in the opposite direction.One survey states that three -quarters of IT workers say that remote work is an important right, and if companies do not provide it, they may change jobs.It's no wonder that the manager is worried when you hear it.If you don't have those excellent human resources, you may not be much meaningful even if you have software or hardware.
Although the scenario developed by the industry will be different, this situation indicates that the IT industry has changed significantly.In the IT industry, human resources are the most important things, not software and hardware.
