HOW TO INCREASE RETENTION SUCCESS AND SATISFACTION
  • Make sure regular associates get the same opportunities and attention as summer associates.
  • Focus also on "real life/quality of life" and what life will be like as a regular associate living in that city/region (economic, social, cultural factors) - Give briefings.
  • Do mid-point surveys/interviews and exit interview to enable adjustments, show caring. Involve attorneys as well as professional development staff.
  • Start summer associates thinking about 3-5 year career path plans. Do business/life 3-5 year plans with 2nd years (at the end of 2nd year).
  • Make their experience feel real! (Authentic)
  • Recognize that what the young people want from their lives will make the firm a stronger, more successful institution and is worth the investment.
