EFFECTIVE VETERAN HIRING AND RETENTION HACKS
Presented by Mike Schindler
1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Cost: $97
Mike will tackle how they land on the ideal veteran and highlight messaging, outreach, and recruitment/retention. Key Takeaways from the workshop are:
The Mind and Myths of Veterans
A major study found most employers think Veterans lack social-emotional skills. Yet, another study found the majority of employers think Veterans perform better than non-veterans. We'll address these studies as well as the top three myths around Veterans that influence company morale and profits.
How to Find the “Best-Fit” Veteran
How does one "interpret" a Veteran resume to determine whether or not that Veteran is a best-fit? A Globoforce study found 4% of Veteran new-hires left after Day 1, 22% in 45 days, and 43% after 1 year. We'll review how one company has managed to keep their Veteran hires an average of 19 years.
Three Factors to Retaining Veterans
Companies that incorporate and adopt three main principles when it comes to their Veteran hires experience improved morale and increased profits. In addition, they experience lower turnover in their Veteran hires. We'll provide the 3 factors you can incorporate in your company to experience these same outcomes.
