54.6 percent of IT companies in Italy struggle to find staff with advanced digital skills. Compared with a global average of 47.3 percent, the percentage hits 60.6 percent in India. Close behind are Spain (52.9 percent), France (51.2 percent) and Germany (50.6 percent). Less difficult to find in Poland, Turkey and Portugal, where the phenomenon still unites more than 1 in 3 companies (37.6 percent, 33.6 percent and 38.8 percent, respectively). These are the data emerging from the "IT Global HR Trends" report conducted by Gi Group Holding, Italy's leading multinational employment company, in collaboration with the Politecnico di Milano and data intelligence firm INTWIG Data Management. The research, conducted in 13 countries - Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States - highlighted the main HR trends in IT companies at a time when innovation and technological development are transforming work and business models. In the job search, the factors that candidates in the sector prioritize are pay (49 percent), an adequate work-life balance (31.2 percent) and the possibility of filling roles that do not involve a high level of stress (21.1 percent). Priorities also confirmed in Italy, where 60 percent emphasize the pay factor, 32 percent the reconciliation of their work and private life, and 24 percent emphasize stress containment. For 1 in 4 workers (25.3% globally, 24% in Italy), an important factor of attractiveness is also the opportunities for career advancement and professional growth that the company can offer. To attract and retain talent, companies may also increasingly consider adopting flexible and hybrid work models. In fact, more than 1 in 3 IT workers (38 percent) in our country say they value working in a hybrid mode, a percentage considerably higher than the overall population, where the share drops to 18.9 percent.
