NASCIO 2019: States Work to Attract a Modern Workforce
Over the next few years, state governments are likely to see waves of older workers retire, particularly in their IT offices. How are they going to attract younger workers? One way is by providing modern technology tools that millennials are familiar with in their personal lives. Another is by offering flexible working arrangements, including remote work options. We spoke with IT leaders at the NASCIO 2019 annual conference in Nashville about what they are doing to attract a modern workforce.
