Hi Daniel, Thanks for your question.

I would say in terms of employee satisfaction, it's nothing but positives from my perspective.

You will have regular meetings with career management officers whom will be able to update you on your career path and the direction you're heading in so you should never feel you're left in the dark with regards to your career.

As well as this, you'll have multiple opportunities throughout each employment year where your chain of command will discuss with you where you are in your career, what you need to do to improve and to go through every detail of how long it should take and so on with regards to your current job role. This discussion will take place and will take into consideration your performance in that reporting period and highlight the key areas where you can reach and exceed your potential and improve on the high standard you will already be performing at.

There are plenty of things which also add to the employee satisfaction, from public facing events to just doing your job in the knowledge that what you are doing is making a difference. Every single job in the army is as vital as every other. The Infantry cant do their job if the Royal Logistic Corps havent been able to supply them with their kit and equipment. The Royal Logistic Corps can't do their job if their vehicles aren't repaired and serviced by the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, and so on. This is just a small example of how everyones job enables the army to achieve the maximum operational effectiveness and therefore no job is less important than another.

Personally, just this alone gives me the employee satisfaction you speak of, and the knowledge of that is the biggest tick in the box with regards to that satisfaction.

Hope this answers your question and if you have anything else then please don't hesitate to ask.
