While I do not know your current situation more demand does not mean more staff to hire. To manage all related to IT something that could help is TBM (https://www.tbmcouncil.org)

...and thus the importance of Knowledge Management :)

It's not uncommon for individuals to continue their career growth. Generally, to garner increased salary and responsibility, one must leave the organization for new opportunities. As leaders, we should support those around us to continually strive to be better. Hopefully, and ideally, the organization is able to see the amazing potential they have right there under their nose when it comes to pay increases and promotions. Unfortunately, that is usually not the case.

Aside from that, maintaining excitement around the work and ensuring all understand and see the value they bring to the organization

That's the nature of the beast. Constant change (externally also) provides attractions for inquiring minds. It's not all about the dollars. If you can find their individual motivations and somehow blend these into the teams, they might hang around a while.

A couple of thoughts on this topic...

People leave managers not companies:

And an interesting counterpoint that says development opportunities has a much bigger effect:

How to motivate IT technician?
May be tangible/intangible benefits could be a motivation for an IT technician?

You can't motivate someone - motivation comes from within, not without. However, you can inspire and engage them. My suggestion would be to read Lencioni's Three Signs of a Miserable Job and avoid committing any of those sins...

Motivation, engagement, and inspiration are key terms in the pursuit to retain the loyalty we all desire in IT staff. The advice I can share is this - everyone has their own slice of motivation, and as a leader, we should engage our staff enough to understand these slices of motivation.

Knowing your staff on a personal level will assist you in so many ways...this doesn't mean cyber stocking them, but having those short but meaningful chats each day. The simple things make a difference.

Job satisfaction is a good motivation for any worker including IT Technician. A salary increase may not be the right motivation for a staff. Managers should engage their staff to ensure staff benefits and employer' value and strategic goals are given due consideration. An experienced IT Technician should be more motivated with employer acceptance and recognition for expert knowledge.

Abraham Maslow' hierarchy of needs identified the various stages and the needs at each stage. If the IT Technician is at the lower pyramid, he may have interest in higher pay. Employer should provide a conducive work environment, have incentives for capacity development and reward commitment to hard work. These are incentives for growth and self development.
