Keeping developers happy amid the Great Resignation
Summary
To better understand the pressures developers face and find out what it means for organisations, MuleSoft commissioned a survey of 100 CIOs and IT decision-makers in Australia. The results reveal challenges Australian organisations have retaining and attracting skilled developers as they look to accelerate digital transformation efforts. The top four causes contributing to developer burnout in Australia were learning new skills to adapt to new technologies and approaches (39%), increasing workload and demand from other teams (35%), pressures of digital transformation (35%), and difficulty onboarding new hires fast enough (35%). The majority (75%) of Australian organisations say they already have strategies to empower business technologists to drive digital transformation, yet challenges remain: Limited automation and data silos hinder the growth of business technologists: Difficulty managing the integrations across multiple cloud platforms without specialist IT skills (52%), limited automation in software development (50%), data silos (50%), governance and security (45%), and limited access to lightweight tooling (45%) remain barriers to increasing the number of business technologists in the workforce. Low-code tooling and automation technology are the means for doing that, and theyve already been shown to improve employee satisfaction and reduce stress."
