The chameleon
According to HR Director, this type is a worker who likes trying out new things. They do not want to commit to just one pre-destined path and they suss out everything within IT. They often have an excellent knowledge of all possible options but at the same time they lack in-depth expertise in any specific field. The chameleon is best retained through training, the option of learning new ways of working and the possibility of participating in various new projects.
The careerist
The IT careerist functions in the same way as a careerist in any other field. They work primarily on their expertise so as to be able to climb the career ladder. You will best keep this worker happy by offering a career advancement system and giving them, at least formally, increasing authority and new working position titles.
The innovator
These people feel most comfortable on the front line where they can try out new technological options. They are interested in the latest technologies and like implementing newly developed methods and procedures. Offer them the option of self-realisation, self-education and participation in projects with new and innovative solutions.
The non-stressed employee
There are workers who dislike stress. They like it best if they can work in peace. They do not have high ambitions, but they often do very well what it is you want from them. These workers must be given peace and quiet to work in, as well as clear instructions and a completely transparent system of work.
The diplomat
These IT experts see their work as a collective effort. They like being part of a team, as well as being socially active and communicative. Offer them work that goes beyond purely IT tasks. They often make excellent project managers or experts who are in touch with clients.
