Many employers are currently facing recruiting challenges. Veterans and the military community face employment challenges regularly. In fact\, in a recent survey\, 90% of veterans indicated there were obsta cles in obtaining employment. In this session\, we explore ways to help b reak down the barriers to employment opportunities for transitioning servi ce members\, veterans\, and military spouses and promote inclusive policie s and practices. The presentation\, developed by USAA and the SHRM Founda tion will help promote inclusive policies and help employers understand th e importance of communicating their desire to be inclusive and welcoming. We will also explore unique strategies for recruiting\, onboarding\, and retaining veterans and military spouses.
\nSheri Bender\, Pulse HR Solutions\, LLC serves as a USAA/SHRM Foundation Veterans Ambassador. She has over 25 years of pract ical HR/Training experience and enjoys working with organizations and mili tary veterans to bridge the gap and help translate skills. In her experien ce\, there is a big language barrier and it is enlightening to have true c onversations about what a candidate has to contribute and watch them flour ish when matched with the right role. That’s why she believes this progra m is so valuable.
