The facility is located roughly 15 miles outside of Houston and employs roughly 1500 professionals and para-professionals.
The turnover rate of this agency varies among disciplines with an overall average of 24%. In this agency, no formal assistance has ever been provided with topics such as how to make career transitions, how to conduct meaningful job searches, how to properly complete an application for employment, or how to analyze one’s own skills so that they can be transferred to another position or department. A standardized career program may help employees to identify alternative job opportunities prior to resignation, assist employees in the development of realistic career goals, improve hiring practice understanding, and potentially increase employee longevity.
