Home > From “We Will” to “At Will”: How to Successfully Hire, Onboard and Retain Military Veterans

2018 Annual Conference & Exposition
You will learn how to implement the critical components of a successful Veteran Hiring Program that’s both scalable and sustainable.
PowerPoints/Handouts Available

250,000 service members transition from the military every year, and while many companies recognize the value these veterans bring to the workforce they may struggle to implement a successful veteran employment program. Whether you are looking to hire one veteran or 1,000, you need to know how to source, attract, and hire the right candidate – with the right skills. More importantly, it’s essential that you implement an effective onboarding process while instilling a culture that fosters both engagement and retention. Imagine the time, money and reputation you can save your organization if you create a program that helps your veteran employees succeed while simultaneously supporting your business goals. During this session, you will learn:

  • How to manage the hiring process from recruiting to resume, interview to onboarding. (Where to source, how to identify skill-sets, structuring the offer, and how to purposefully onboard your new hire) 
  • How to cultivate a military-friendly culture and work environment that leads to retention and productivity.  (Breaking down stereo-types, dispelling myths, and creating an environment of diversity, inclusion and belonging).
