Demand is through the roof and there aren\u2019t enough developers to go around. At the same time, COVID has shifted their priorities. Many now seek workplaces that permit flexible hours, opportunities to work-from-home, and more. And they\u2019re not afraid to jump ship in search of greener pastures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the Great Resignation has taught us anything, it\u2019s that developers who are tired of workplace culture don\u2019t stick around. Average tenure at some of the most prominent tech companies in the world is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/average-employee-tenure-retention-at-top-tech-companies-2018-4\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">under two years<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and when they leave, they often take <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sdtimes.com\/data\/data-is-leaking-as-employees-leave-in-great-resignation\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">valuable code, customer contact lists, patent applications and much more with them<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. For senior developers and team leaders, it\u2019s a high price to pay when employees start sniffing around for other opportunities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, you can take steps to reduce turnover, many of which aren\u2019t complicated or time consuming. In today\u2019s super competitive environment, one of the best ways to make your company a great place to work\u2014and to keep developers happy\u2014is pretty straightforward. Just back off. Trust them to do their jobs well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is key to building a supportive environment where developers feel comfortable voicing their ideas\u2014particularly if those ideas are unpopular. Leaders have a responsibility to establish the kind of environment where values are reinforced, and to hire people who thrive within this framework. Even if that means they\u2019re not always hiring the candidates who seem like an obvious fit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Even Dumb Ideas Can Be Valuable<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I know this because I have lots of dumb ideas. I\u2019m thankful that, over the years, my colleagues have actively encouraged me to share those ideas. It taught me that I can build and foster a company culture where new ideas and new ways of thinking are valued, even if those ideas aren\u2019t immediately well received.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something that might seem like a dumb idea at the time, can actually evolve into something remarkable. By encouraging people to share their ideas, you can foster a sense of trust and innovation that leads to an explosion in creativity. It also makes your organization stronger by reducing employee stress\u2014stress which ultimately leads to burnout and turnover.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employees know they\u2019ve long been perceived as replaceable cogs in the corporate structure, and not as unique individuals with valuable skills, and yes, shortcomings. So, fostering a culture that\u2019s truly human and invites vulnerability has to be done with intent and deliberation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People want to feel authenticity in where and how they work\u2014that\u2019s why it\u2019s valuable to talk about new ideas (even dumb ones) to ultimately improve the company and its products. Fostering a supportive culture will likely lead to disagreements, but there are ways to offer opposing viewpoints without being a jackass. This mutual respect between developers allows your entire team to look at things through a critical lens without stepping on other people\u2019s toes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s one example: at CodeSee, we do regular product reviews, which oftentimes lead to conversations where our developers say: \u201cI really wish our product would do this instead.\u201d Or \u201cwouldn\u2019t this be a cool feature to add?\u201d This isn\u2019t criticism leveled at anyone in particular, and everyone understands this. It\u2019s a collaborative effort, with the aim of improving how our product works.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Take Steps to Sniff Out the Jerks in Your Applicant Pool<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some companies subscribe to the idea that if you\u2019re a genius, it\u2019s OK to treat people like garbage. We don\u2019t. We\u2019d rather have a decent developer who fits our culture and embodies self-reflection and humility, than a great developer who doesn\u2019t support others. The same things we prioritize in our day-to-day operations are also reflected in hiring. There are easy-to-implement strategies to identify these qualities in potential new hires.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two of our standard questions are simple and straightforward. We ask candidates to define three strengths and weaknesses. Three is a big enough number so that it requires introspection, and it helps us gauge if developers have already identified strategies for personal growth. The second question we like to ask is: \u201cwhat will your previous managers say about you when we talk to them?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These questions are meant to help us gauge whether or not the candidate has a pulse on self-reflection. If candidates can consider what it\u2019s like to be one of their past managers, it shows a high level of self-awareness and empathy. And these are the people who tend to make it through our hiring process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conversely, we\u2019ve seen these questions absolutely sink some applicants. Some of them suddenly feel uncomfortable\u2014I\u2019ve actually been yelled at on more than one occasion. Can you imagine yelling at the person conducting your job interview? Yet it happens, and at that point, it\u2019s game over.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Finding the Right Tools for Success<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Providing the right tools is another way companies can foster a positive culture. Consider the responsibilities managed by today\u2019s developers\u2014especially those on teams who\u2019ve implemented DevOps best practices. It\u2019s not surprising that many are seeking tools to help them reduce time in tasks like project onboarding, feature planning, and code review; they\u2019d rather focus on actual development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today developers spend over half of their time reading code. But what if we could cut that by just 20 percent? Or even 40 percent? If your software developers could spend 40 percent of their time doing other things, it would be truly transformative for business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, productivity tools can have drawbacks. Instead of giving more freedom and trust to developers, some organizations use technology to try to squeeze every last scrap of productivity out of them. If that\u2019s the case, the underlying message your employees may hear is, \u201cYou\u2019re getting a new, expensive tool because you aren\u2019t being productive enough.\u201d There\u2019s no better way to push talented developers towards the exit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately everyone needs developers, and they\u2019ll be well compensated wherever they land. So, while some turnover is inevitable, a lot of it can be avoided if you\u2019re intentional about crafting and maintaining a supportive work environment. And the creative energy you foster will help ignite product innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Software developers know their skills are hard to find, and they know how much they are worth.
