Файл:PRESERVATION OF THE FORCE AND FAMILY AS A TOOL FOR TALENT MANAGEMENT (IA preservationofth1094563990).pdf

Talent management in the United States Army is a challenging and complex issue, with many factors contributing to a Soldier’s decision whether to remain in military service. Preservation of the Force and Family (POTFF) is intended to increase individual resiliency among USSOCOM’s service members across its four pillars of physical, psychological, spiritual, and family performance. Could the services of POTFF also increase retention? Using data from USSOCOM’s annual Needs Assessment Survey, we built a model to answer that question. Using logistic regression, we chose one question from the survey to represent each pillar of POTFF against the question about Soldier’s intent to remain in service until retirement. Our findings indicate that Soldiers who use Human Performance Centers and chaplain-led retreats have a higher probability of retention intention than those who do not. This could indicate that increased command emphasis on those programs would improve retention among the U.S. Army Special Operators we analyzed. Gathering useful data from the surveys on psychological and spiritual health is challenging and warrants further research.
