Internal labor markets, policies strengthening the attachment between workers and firms, establishment of personnel departments, and offering on-the-job training and seniority-based compensation led to workers quitting their jobs less frequently.
Why are so many companies today struggling to retain employees when employees were committed to a company for life just decades earlier?
If you invest in your employees, they feel more committed. As the company’s needs grow and change, you have talented people who can help your company flourish.
“I was tricked into Marketing,” Monika Adomaityte said with a laugh, “nicely, by Reda.”
About a decade ago, Capsim used to offer “TGIF” internships. On Fridays, a group of 8-10 individuals would come into the office, test out Capsim products, provide feedback, and tinker with our processes.
“It seems like you have great attention to detail,” Reda Chafai, Capsim’s president, told Monika. “We need someone to help us out,” he said.
Reda hired Monika as a marketing intern for TGIF. At the time, Monika was pursuing an accounting degree. After stepping her foot into Capsim as a marketing intern, she applied for a full-time internship in an accounts receivable position.
“From that point on, it was one opportunity after another,” Monika said. Monika grew into her role with Reda’s mentorship and support. Today, she’s Capsim’s Director of Accounting.
“We’re one big family,” Monika said. “And that’s what I love about Capsim.”
