"We created this program as part of our strategic effort to develop and retain our TVH employees," says Jennifer Mehnert, human resources director. "By offering resume review, mock interviews and career planning, we can help employees identify interesting opportunities and develop a learning plan to prepare and train them for those opportunities."
The program, launched in early September to a small pilot group, showed impressive interest, so plans are in the works to expand to all employees by the end of the year.
