Welcome!
Welcome back to another edition
of PSCI's client newsletter, the IT Industry Rundown!
2020 was a year unlike any other. We witnessed a global health
crisis, social unrest, and major adjustments to our business, and
personal lives. So, like many of you, I'm eagerly anticipating
flipping the calendar to 2021.
Despite all of that, however, I could not be more proud of my
staff, our consultants, or more grateful to you, our clients. The
dedication exhibited over these past trying months and the
commitment displayed to keep the country moving forward, leaves me
feeling nothing but encouraged for the months ahead.
So, in this edition of our quarterly newsletter, we lead off with
one of our latest blog posts dedicated to what we, as a company,
were grateful for this year. We also speak about how best to
conduct performance reviews when dealing with a primarily remote
workforce and then lead into articles dealing with organizational
change management, the importance of diversity, and predictions for
the future of work.
With that, may I be among the first to wish you all a very happy,
and healthy, New Year!
As always, please connect with us on
LinkedIn,
Twitter, and Facebook for
the latest IT industry news and information.

to mention the civil unrest and discord that has gripped the
country. Despite this, however, there was still much to be thankful
for. In this blog post, we list what we were thankful for this
year. Read

Performance Reviews in the Era
of COVID-19

survey finds that the majority of employees actually want feedback
and to be recognized for their work. With so many working from
home, though, the typical review process must be altered. In this
post, we discuss a handful of ways employers can improve their

workforce. Read More >> |

"When I receive candidates
from PSCI, they are ready to go. I may do a quick formality
interview, but I know prior vetting has taken place. This allows me
to focus on other things. It also shows me PSCI is serious about
