Regarding employee retention, the winning companies implemented effective strategies: establishing internal transfer and training programs (to reduce the pressure of external recruitment), designing separate benefit packages for different employee groups (flexible benefits and schemes suitable for each life stage and generation). Maintaining continuous feedback mechanisms for early detection of potential resignations was also a key criterion.
In terms of recruiting tech talent, many companies proactively developed internal resources, using structured rotations to cultivate technology-related skills, building targeted recruitment channels, and incorporating short-term certifications.
