But we’ve seen that engaging and retaining them often proves harder. Given the pace at which this sector moves, and the relentless focus on innovation, having in place the right people and people programmes is essential to delivering high performance. And that’s where we can help, just as we do for clients like Leidos, Gamesys and Fidessa.
