TORONTO, Jan. 23, 2024 /CNW/ - As 2024 unfolds, the automation era is proving to be transformative for the information technology industry, with new opportunities, complex challenges, and a degree of unpredictability. Info-Tech Research Group, a leading global IT research and advisory firm, has published its IT Talent Trends 2024 report, which contains research insights on the future of IT talent based on the current landscape. The report highlights ways leaders can navigate the complexities of this new era, particularly in managing IT talent amidst exponential technological advancements. "The automation era demands a delicate balance in the workplace," says Nick Kozlo, research director at Info-Tech Research Group. "IT leaders are increasingly required to integrate AI with human teams, balance remote and in-office work models, merge technical and soft skills, and ensure high productivity while maintaining employee wellbeing. Achieving this balance is crucial for both organizational success and team development." The report's data and insights are derived from Info-Tech's IT Trends 2024 survey. The survey was conducted from August to October, 2023, and garnered 379 responses from a diverse range of industries, organizational sizes, and IT departments. The findings offer a comprehensive view of the global IT landscape, including in Canada, the United States, Germany, Australia, China, Mexico, Great Britain, and the Netherlands, and across such industries as manufacturing, healthcare, finance, education, and the public sector. This diverse data set underpins the report's insights, reflecting a wide array of perspectives on the evolving role of IT talent. "It's essential for IT leaders to remember that machines are not replacements for human talent, and conversely, humans should not be treated as machines," explains Kozlo. "The growing expectation in workplaces is to foster environments where individuals can thrive, develop, and contribute in inherently unique human ways." The IT Talent Trends 2024 report from Info-Tech Research Group reveals four key trends shaping the future of IT workforces.
