THE WAR FOR TALENT CHANGES CHANGES THE WAR

OR...
HOW WE CULTURE-RECRUIT AT BOOT CAMP

We’ve all seen the movies- the newbies get off the boot camp bus and are greeted by the screaming and yelling of their new sergeants. That couldn’t have been too pleasant.

But, as everyone in HR already knows, it’s all about the culture and even the army is catching on. According to a recent article in the WSJ, new recruits arriving to the base camp are now thanked for making an important commitment and contribution in a time of war.

They’re taking surveys asking about how they enjoyed the food ans was there enough for seconds.

They’re being mentored instead of chiseled into fearsome GI’s/ Everyone’s on board with giving new recruits the best chance to succeed. The metrics? Seems retention has increased almost 10%

Way to go.
