Marine Corps Grappling With Developing More Than a Few Good Men


A new manpower system is being designed to help accurately forecast recruiting, retention and career planning for the Corps.
By Garry Kranz

A Few Good Recruits: Count the U.S. Marine Corps  among the organizations obsessed with talent development. The Corps is paying about $14 million to revamp its workforce planning system. Hired to carry out the upgrades is AT&T Government Solutions, part of telecommunications giant AT&T Inc. The high-tech system, including customized Web-based tools, is being developed to help hiring managers accurately forecast recruiting, retention, staffing and career development needs, according to a statement from AT&T.
