Ask a Manager

NOVEMBER 10, 2016

A reader writes: I have a question about how much value is placed on years of service vs. actual job duties. I started at my current job 10 years ago, under a coworker who had already been there 20 years. Initially, he was my manager, but as I took on additional responsibilities over the years I was promoted a few times and we are now at equal levels, performing similar (and overlapping) duties and reporting to the same boss.

The biggest concern organizations have when they invest in training is retention. By this, I mean having employees retain the material once they leave the class. No company wants to create a program and take employees out of the operation only to have the same issues occur repeatedly. It’s important for training programs to be designed and delivered in a way that increases retention of the content.

This not only impacts their services and products, but also the people who build out and fulfill the company vision. No matter how great your vision, the world will always be pulling your company away from fulfilling your higher purpose.

Of course, these two things are critical for success, but managing the people is also very important for a successful department.

Unfortunately, there is not one central place where all veterans go to post their resumes and pursue civilian jobs after military service. The good news is that companies recruiting veterans have learned that they don't have to spend a fortune to attract, hire, and grow these employees.
