Retention Now Toolkit

Good leaders STOP strength losses!

The risk is real.
Forty-four percent of recently surveyed Soldiers are no longer interested in further committing to the Guard.*

The reason is serious.
Unit leadership is the most significant factor influencing a Soldier's desire to leave.*

The solution is here.
Building better leaders. Ensuring unit strength. Keeping Soldiers in the Guard. That's the mission of Retention Now.

Retention Now gives leaders a simple strategy to identify and address retention challenges:
  • The Commander's Planning Tool leads unit leadership through steps for boosting retention and helps them develop a Unit Retention Plan
  • Retention Now Toolkit presentations provide diverse, dynamic training for unit leaders who must reverse attrition at the ground level
Presentation Topics include:
  • Counseling
  • Sponsorship
  • Mentoring
  • Peer Pressure
  • AWOL
  • Separation & Discharge
  • Pre-Mobilization Leadership
  • Unit Recruiting Team
  • OER
  • Career Management
  • Cadre Development
  • Attrition Management
  • NCOER

*Statistics taken from the November 2005 Citizen-Soldier Survey.
