So what does matter to CIOs? Well, among the 340 CIOs who took our survey, the top answers for “what matters most to you about your job” were, in order: My opinion and knowledge are valued; Involvement in setting company strategy and determining goals; My work (job) is important to the company’s success; Challenge of job/responsibility; and Corporate culture and values.
If you simplify these factors into five basic questions — and if the answer is no — they read very much like any employee’s reasons to leave a job: Am I being listened to? Does my work matter? Is my work presenting an interesting challenge? and Am I working for people that I respect and like and who seem decent?
