Ways You Can Invest in Veteran Hires

This article was originally published here

If your firm has dedicated time and resources to veteran recruitment or is stepping up these efforts, you also have to think of ways to invest in their success once they’ve been hired. Here are some top tips.

Benefits & Policies evaluation

Actions speak louder than words when developing a diverse, engaged workforce. You can take action by offering more tailored benefits to veterans and military-connected individuals. Group life and health insurance can enhance veterans’ government coverage. If you hire or recruit many veterans, you should provide them special perks personalized for their circumstances. Many of these options offer profitable rates, individual customer care, and financial education resources for military-connected employees.

Many industries now allow remote or hybrid work. Make sure military spouses and veterans have flexible work opportunities too. Providing a serving spouse job stability in the face of relocations or allowing a recently-separated veteran to find a permanent home while keeping employment at your company helps employees and lets your company retain top talent regardless of location and lifestyle.

Inform staff about affinity groups and EAPs. Many give veterans direct access to additional resources and incentives, such as mortgage recommendations, gym membership discounts, and physical and mental health help. Show your support by continuously connecting with affinity groups and making their resources available to veteran employees during onboarding and through internal communications.

Promote networking

Many veteran employees will be at a significant transition point in their lives and careers. Using existing talents and structures can make employees feel welcome and supported. If your company employs veterans or military-connected individuals, create a special employee resource group for them. That can help them find mentors, learn about corporate culture, and exchange experiences. Human resources and benefits decision-makers should stay in touch with this group. Their feedback on things like family leave, childcare, and training programs might help identify a need for changes. Your employees will appreciate you actively listening and changing corporate regulations.

Encourage learning

Your organization needs a thorough education program to encourage veteran hiring. Easy access to certificates, college credits, and tuition help is a win-win. They’ll gain skills and confidence in a new job setting or industry, making them an asset to your company. HR and mentors should ask veterans what they want from their careers in the future and support further education.

On-the-job training and development initiatives for new hires of various backgrounds are also important. If you have a network of veteran employees, foster mentorship through training and development initiatives. Discuss these programs with new and old employees. Their experience can guide training and development structure, goals, and metrics.

If you’re still hiring experienced employees, external organizations and affiliates can help. American Corporate Partners can help with mentoring, hiring, and onboarding as you build internal procedures.

Engage with other firms and service organizations

Even if your veteran hiring and engagement program is robust, consider chances to collaborate with local and national service organizations. Countless organizations range from general awareness to industry or issue-specific. Explore affiliate programs with these organizations to determine if they may offer mental health or financial advisory services to your veteran personnel.

Providing annual service hours is another approach to keep staff engaged and strengthen ties to local military and community organizations. That’s a win for local nonprofits, veteran employees wishing to continue active in service, and your company as it grows its role as a change-maker for staff and the community.
