During a recent webinar, experts discussed strategies to tackle this skills gap, such as reforming recruitment practices, fostering internal talent development, and enhancing workplace culture to retain top talent. They emphasized the need for hybrid work models and structured career paths to attract candidates, particularly as competition with high-paying tech companies intensifies.
