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.

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.
