Talents return to Maersk
SHIPPING: Maersk wants to kill the myth, that there is no re-entry once you've left the blue Maersk family. On the contrary, Group HR is eager to tap into the talent pool of the Maersk alumni - and a growing number of talents now return.
"There is no policy preventing us from re-hiring people who left. If people have left because we could not offer the right opportunity at the time, and there now is a match between their qualifications and the opportunities we can offer, why would we not welcome them back?", Executive Board member Søren Skou says.
One of the recruiters who sees a need for tapping into the former Maersk alumni is Doreen DeMartino, Head of HR for Damco Distribution Services, North America.
"Yes, I do want them back. But there has been this philosophy out there, that we can't take them since they left for the rival", says Doreen DeMartino, thereby refers to the long lingering myth that once you're out, you'll never come back.
One of the candidates who left the company and has now returned is MISE 2001 graduate Mary Behncke. She left the company to study and work elsewhere but recently returned to work as a Global Key Account Manager for Damco.
“Expectations for employees are high, but so are the rewards, making it a great place to work. Of course it all depends on what the individuals are seeking - however, my experience is that I have greater room for maneuvering now than I had five years back. The outside experience has helped me succeed in the new environment", Mary Behncke says.
