I understand that you have problems reponding to your applicants....yet people are at the core of JHAS...your words
Correct.
I would have thought that your business plan would have accomodated more than 1 hr person...or an appropriate strategy to adjust...
It did, and even then I (please note that the fault in this area is fully accepted by me) underestimated demand. We had overflow capacity from corporate and we had a contractor on as well.
Still wasn't enough and another has been added.
indeed given your proclaimed mantra of people are our core i find your applogetic nature demeaning,
You are correct. I should be telling everyone to f*ck off for being a pack of ingrates and that they should turn up and queue outside the guardhouse whilst we inspect teeth and fetlocks and choose who we want on any given day.
Or perhaps not.
your tactics will be studied by business schools ( not sarcastic) your applogetic nature plays to those who crave communication...that is all..so do not celebrate your shortcomings
No celebration whatsoever. By now I (again note this is personal opinion) wanted our full quota for the A380 project recruited and inducted and working on other types in the hangar until training rolls around. Didn't happen so we adapt and modify our strategy a touch.
ROM you are a great sales person.. that is whay JHAS exists howver HOLLAND is not that patient a parent...your posting are a reflection of a great sales person playing to those who have been neglected, time will tell but you are a peice on the chess board...it gets eaten alot
Yep. At some point I fully expect to be eaten. I am many things (and thanks for the salesman compliment) but a hypocrite isn't one of them and whilst I think the pretty much the entire JH group is an excellent place to work I won't claim we are perfect.
I think we have something new and different going on here and we have the opportunity to build a good solid business. In order to do that I expect people to put in and leave a lot of the baggage of the past outside, exactly the same as I have to do.
The HR team have busted their arses to work with the business to more than doble the number of employees in abot 3 months. We're pushing back on a number of business opportunities because we're so busy that to take anything substantially more would be foolish. Over time we'll do more and more, but in order to do that we need more people on board and fully inducted etc. It's a matter of record that I'd like B1 trfaining to have started, but more importantly we have found a backlog of human factors and other training we need to deal with so rather than chase the shiny new stuff we've made the call to focus on the basics first. Frustrating in some ways but from our viewpoint as engineers the foundation must be there before the rest can follow.
Thanks for the warning about chess pieces, I'll be careful, or at least as careful as a blue sky salesman can be!
