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 obstacles in obtaining employment. In this session, we explore ways to help break down the barriers to employment opportunities for transitioning service members, veterans, and military spouses and promote inclusive policies and practices. The presentation, developed by USAA and the SHRM Foundation will help promote inclusive policies and help employers understand the 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.
Sheri Bender, Pulse HR Solutions, LLC serves as a USAA/SHRM Foundation Veterans Ambassador. She has over 25 years of practical HR/Training experience and enjoys working with organizations and military veterans to bridge the gap and help translate skills. In her experience, there is a big language barrier and it is enlightening to have true conversations about what a candidate has to contribute and watch them flourish when matched with the right role. That’s why she believes this program is so valuable.
