This session provides resources and practical strategies for hiring, retaining and accommodating veterans with disabilities in the workplace.
Many of the 2.5 million troops deployed since 9/11 are now transitioning to the civilian workforce, a situation that poses challenges to both HR practitioners and veterans, some of which may have newly acquired disabilities. Learn how to develop a veteran focused recruitment strategy and capitalize on resources for attracting, hiring and retaining veterans with disabilities. This session addresses common questions surrounding applicability of military service to civilian jobs and types of accommodations that may ensure productive performance.
