5 Tips to Overcome Resource Churn Challenges in IT Staff Augmentation

Here are 5 tips that can help you reduce churn:

1. Shorter Hiring Process

   According to our research, the offer acceptance rate largely depends on the organization’s response time. When there are fewer stages in the hiring process, and a faster response time, there are higher chances of hiring good talent that stays with you.

   We have witnessed an 85% chance of acceptance on Day 1, 60% within 3 days, and just 10% after 5 days. As a result, our managers are highly proactive during the hiring process and work diligently to close it faster, more efficiently and smoothly.

2. Stronger Onboarding

   A Digicode Delivery Manager handles onboarding with a strategic onboarding plan and necessary checklists. Within 2-4 weeks, we help our clients grow their team in a 2-step process. In the first step, we are ready to hire senior staff, while in the second, we prepare the senior staff to hire other team members. Once the onboarding process is smoothly conducted, employees are more likely to be retained.

3. Better Benefits and Work Environment

   Today, good talent doesn’t choose a company based on the offered work or opportunities. They look for perks, benefits, health packages and more. When we provide excellent benefits packages like kids’ insurance, medical insurance, gym facilities and many other perks, we invest in our people and deliver unmatched value in their lives. As a result, our clients rely on us for long-term relationships and programs of work. 87% of our employees recommend us to their friends and family, and for us, this is a sign of success in creating satisfied employees. We apply the same strategies and insights for our clients and help them retain their best people.

4. Greater Connect with the Management

   As a stable international company, we’ve noticed that teams with a stronger connection with their senior management are better inspired to work and are more productive. When we hire exceptional senior management for your business, we give them opportunities to build a better rapport with juniors and create long-lasting relationships. We assure team excellence with open communication between all levels of teams.

5. Superior Learning Opportunities

   When employees are given constant new learning opportunities within the organization, they can grow and climb the corporate ladder better. Digicode understands this phenomenon and has created the “42 Stairs” learning management system for the continuous education of IT staff, including FE, BE, Devops, Gamedev and more. It also gives employees access to an internal expert community to resolve any challenges or queries of team members. It also delivers an excellent opportunity for personal and professional growth. When employees see value in sticking with an organization, they rarely quit.

Remember, employee churn is costly. Replacing an employee takes time and money. Losing an employee can cost 1.5-2x the employee’s annual salary or tens of thousands of dollars to the company. But luckily, 75% of resource churns are preventable.
