Getting hired is one moment.
The career still has to survive the next Permanent Change of Station (PCS).
Military spouse employment efforts have focused on getting people in the door.
Then the next military orders arrive.
Suddenly, one employee's move can involve HR, Payroll, Tax, Legal, Global Mobility, Total Rewards, and a manager who has just realized the gravity of the situation and may not know how to respond.
The consequences show up in delayed decisions, unnecessary resignations, compensation changes, lost visibility, stalled advancement, and qualified candidates screened out before anyone asks the right questions.
