Creativity and focus are key to how companies in the market can make the most out of what veterans bring to the workforce, ASRC Federal’s chief human resources officer Shaveta Joshi writes.Those of us who have worked at companies that employ U.S. military veterans know the benefits these dedicated and loyal workers can bring to an enterprise.
As the Labor Department points out, the benefits go beyond payback to people who have served our country. It’s simply a good way to do business.
Notably, Syracuse University’s Institute for Veterans and Military Families found in a 2016 research project, characteristics commonly identified in military veterans generally map to those that contribute to a competitive and dynamic business environment.
“In other words, the academic research supports a robust, specific, and compelling business case for hiring individuals with military background and experience,” the institute wrote in its report.
This holds especially true for federal government contractors. Given their background, many veterans understand the value of supporting the government’s mission and will go the extra mile to ensure their employer delivers the best service possible to their government clients.
U.S. military veterans and their families have selflessly protected and defended our nation. When it’s time for them to transition to the civilian workforce, companies that prioritize and value veterans’ experience will gain incredible talent and expertise. So how do government contractors commit to, paving the way for leveraging the value of veterans in the recruitment process?
