IT tight on bonuses

The National Computing Centre's 19th annual survey into IT staffing issues shows that only 8 per cent of organisations are offering staff a bonus or premium payment if they obtain certification or accreditation for specific skills.

It finds that only 30 respondents would offer staff a financial reward for completing a certified scheme and that, of those who would receive a bonus, some could expect as little as Pounds 250.
