In this latest episode of The Military Wire podcast you’ll hear from former Marine Corps Master Sergeant Chris Patton, now HR Director at a global company, share how his company retains Veterans for 10+ years and what questions to ask that will help you crush the interview.
Harvard Business stated that the cost of losing an employee is about $60,000. With costs to on-board and recruit being roughly $4000, then an investment of 6 – 9 months into the employee, it’s easy to see why retention is so important for companies.
Finding the “best-fit” is critical from both a company perspective and from a “career perspective.”
Chris Patton reveals how certain questions can help you in your job hunt determine “best-fit” and reduce your chances of rolling out of a company in the first two years. His advice isn’t theory. His company has found ways to attract best-fit Veterans who stay an average of 10 years.
That company? Travelers Insurance. This company has been around for more than 160 years and has earned a reputation as one of the best property casualty insurers in the industry; the only property casualty company in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. 30,000 employees and 13,500 independent agents and brokers in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Ireland.
