Bill Jenkins, CIO, Penn National Insurance

We employ the following strategies/actions to attract and retain IT staff:

1. A culture that values and encourages innovation and creativity. No penalties for failure. Move people out of their "box" and stretch and engage them; provide them the latitude/empowerment to do their job.

2. Continual investment in skills development/career counseling. Make professional development a priority and push continuing education.
