HP's HR director for Australia and New Zealand, Alan Covin, says the company's success comes down to making sure IT staff have ongoing development opportunities and challenging work to keep them interested.
-We make sure we recruit creative, intelligent people and if they don't feel they are being challenged at work they get bored and start to look around," Covin said.
However, like many HR managers, Corvin believes successful HR begins with the recruitment process.
-IT is important to be able to articulate what our culture is. That way people know what they are in for and what is expected of them," Corvin said.
And who was the worst? If you published that, the worst companies might actually be so embarrassed they might lift their game.
