Recruitment and Retention 2010

RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION 2010: GREATER NUMBERS, HIGHER QUALITY AND LONGER SERVICE.
Recruiting and retaining the individuals with the key skills required by modern militaries is the greatest challenge facing future operational effectiveness.

The current economic environment lends itself favourably to recruitment and retention, but this is a situation that will not be sustained indefinitely.

Instead, in order to ensure the force of the future has enough skilled personnel, militaries will need to evolve the way they interact with potential recruits and current soldiers to match the changes taking place within society at large.

DefenceIQ s Recruitment and Retention 2010 will address these challenges by bringing a mixture of military experts, key civilian contractors and leading academics to discuss best practise, lessons learned and future strategies for improving recruitment and retention.
