## engineering talent retention roadmap

Our research highlights three areas where engineers' expectations consistently outpace what employers provide: salary and benefits, work-life balance, and career progression.

The engineering talent retention roadmap is a practical guide based on the 2026 Randstad employer brand research. If you're an HR leader ready to move beyond reactive retention planning and build a structured workforce strategy, discover how to:

- benchmark your remuneration strategy against what engineers actually expect
- strengthen career paths and internal mobility
- evaluate workforce risks across your engineering talent pipeline
- develop a prioritised action plan with clear ownership and next steps

Don't let your retention strategy fall out of step with employee expectations. Download the workbook to build a stronger engineering retention plan.
