Interesting. "Employers have begun looking at employees who could have a lifetime career with them and thinking, ‘How do we keep them performing and growing and developing as the years march on?’" Sosbe says. "Companies are thinking more about having long-term employees because it’s expensive to hire and fire employees." Not that I believe a word of this: when it comes to assets, employees seem to be the first thing discarded by a company when its stock price dips. Which means that the real strategy amounts to: how do you make it look like you're developing employees for long term careers while at the same time keeping training budgets to a minimum and ensuring short-term return on investment. Cynical? Yes. But I've read too much of the other sort of article, seen too many of the other sort of presentation, to be anything but.
