According to the study, Ukrainian IT specialists spend about two years in one company. The average duration of cooperation with GlobalLogic is 4.5 years. The company investigated what influences the engagement of IT professionals and motivates them to stay with the company longer.
What fuels the motivation of IT professionals
“IT professionals value meaningful and developing projects, effective communication, professional management, and team spirit the most. This is confirmed by the results of a survey conducted within the company,” says Mariana Gudz, HR Director at GlobalLogic Ukraine.
How to put it into practice
- Substantive and developing projects. Specialists are motivated by projects that have a practical impact on the development of the industry and improve people’s lives. In addition, the involvement of an engineer in different technology tasks will help to avoid burnout. GlobalLogic works with Fortune 500 clients. This partnership allows Ukrainian specialists to participate in world-class projects, feeling involved in global changes, and grow professionally.
- Effective communication Timely feedback and a transparent career development plan are key factors for long-term cooperation. GlobalLogic makes this happen by providing individualized development plans and regular performance feedback. A transparent growth system allows you to set long-term professional goals: for example, the company believes that an engineer needs 1-2 years to move to the next career level. And the opportunity for ongoing training as part of its GlobalLogic Education program accelerates this development.
“We care about our talents and maintain a favorable environment within the company. The focus is on flexibility of cooperation and participation in interesting projects using advanced technologies. In addition, we provide opportunities for continuous learning through the GlobalLogic Education platform,” adds Yulia Shmulia, Recruiting Director at GlobalLogic Ukraine.
In her opinion, this, together with support, creates conditions for long-term cooperation and high engagement of specialists. Facts confirm that about 27% of 6500 specialists have been working with the company for more than 5 years.
