Let's face it. People are changing jobs more today then ever before.
Huh? No more free coffee? Good-bye! 2 Words: I'm Gone!
The good news is that all this turnover makes room for undeserved promotions. When one's idea of success is a 69.5, or whatever it takes to sneak ahead of "failure", then all this turnover is welcomed with opened arms. Picture that company in 10 years....
So, The Flight Risk.
Definition of Flight Risk: A Candidate for employment that shows chronic "entry and exit" patterns. Basically, someone who walks into a job, says "Screw this place" and leaves soon after.
This defines many people in America and is probably reason so many companies are changing their tune and providing catered lunches, work from home benefits, half-day Friday's, etc.
Not my company, who's recent "Making the Connection" people development exercise was based off an instructional "How To" manual that was most recently updated in 1987. Basically, methods used to manage people that was encouraged 20 years ago is still encouraged at my company today.
From my understanding, our company once instilled a 360 degree review process that was immediately abandoned when senior management received such poor reviews from us underlings....Interesting.
Not to hate though, all this turnover makes room for younger and younger employees. "Kids" that are on the same page as the rest of us. What has immediately resulted from this age drop? In the door later, out the door earlier.
Guess what? Sales are up!
So enough with the intro. I just wanted you to get an idea of what this blog is about/for. There are reasons people are labeled as "Flight Risks," so here is the perfect forum to answer why YOU YOURSELF might be one!
How's that doin?
