Digital Nation: Propel's Talent Manifesto 2019
With the battle for talent in the tech sector at fever pitch, we've decided to reimagine our approach to our annual benchmark. Salaries alone are no longer enough to attract the quality of talent tech companies need to fuel their businesses. Company culture and values, true diversity, training and employee wellbeing are instead as or more important.
Our new annual flagship report dedicated to understanding the key trends around talent and working culture in the booming tech sector is now available. Request your copy here.
