Keeping employees happy

"England swings like a pendulum do," according to Roger Miller, and it isn't only England.

Lots of companies still view employees as commodities, bags of skills, "resources", or other dehumanized means to a corporate end ... and make no bones about it when communicating to employees.

This pendulum has to swing, though, because unemployment is at historic lows, and IT unemployment is, for all practical purposes, nonexistent. It's an employees' market out there, and any company that isn't paying at least lip service to employee retention is going to get raided.

Has the swing started? How about your employer -- is it working hard to retain employees like you?

And if you're a manager, what are you doing these days to make the grass on your side of the fence look as green as possible?
