FEWER IT LEADERS REPORT SKILLS GAPS — BUT MANY FACE OTHER CHALLENGES | Survey findings show most IT leaders still report skill gaps on their teams. The good news is that percentage has declined 10% since last year - a welcome trend after years on the rise. However, amid a fierce labor market, leaders face other pressing challenges. |

Undoubtedly, this is good news but those who still face these gaps battle with elevated team stress, longer resolution times, and more.
