I am afraid to ask what is the alternative. I’d hope that in all jobs and also in “tours of service”:
Employees get:
recognition
skill
“CV bullets” that make them more hirable
honest references from the employer
The company gets useful work done
Any party can end the relationship if they’re not happy with it, both must be happy with the relationship to continue
no?
I wonder if I misunderstood something big
The thing I do find inspiring in your management approach is setting measurable long term goals and not interfering with how the worker decides to accomplish those (if I understood this part correctly)
Thanks for the question! The differences in my mind are:
A Schelling point for when the employment relationship might end
Clear discussion of the benefits the employee will receive even after leaving the employer
E.g. I’ve never had an employer pitch me something like “work for us for two years, after which you will be much more hirable by our competitor because of the portfolio you developed here.” (Even though this is the strategy many employees have in practice.)
