After more than three decades at IBM, Larry Leise and Susan Luerich are not planning for a quiet retirement. Instead, the married couple are headed back to college. Thanks to the Big Blue's teaching offer, they are moving as high school science teachers into schools where a shortage of qualified teachers concerns a company that thrives on high-tech innovation.
We're only as successful as our innovation is and we have to have future talent that will bring that kind of innovative thinking and help us as future employees," said Rick Falknor, a community relations manager at IBM. The company believes it is the first to help workers make the switch into a teaching career.
Indeed this is an innovative step that has a positive impact on schools and certainly is a brilliant tactic to draw in top talent to IBM. It is a win-win strategy for the company to continue its business growth and help employees move on to a second career.
