Retention, Training, Culture & Engagement

Services In Detail:
Retention, Training, Culture & Engagement

To create lasting organizational change, you need to do more than recruit veterans. Implementing targeted retention efforts for veteran hires, setting up training for your staff, and creating engagement channels such as Employee Resource Groups (ERGs/BRGs) are all absolutely critical to prevent your veteran hiring pipeline from turning into a revolving door, and we can help with those items and more.

All of our services are offered either item-by-item or as multi-service package deals. And our custom package deals can include services from any category, based on your organization’s particular needs and budget.

The Business Case For Hiring Veterans

Forget public relations — the real reason organizations are recruiting veterans is that they’re simply better employees.

Veterans have led and founded many of the country’s most successful businesses, and their skills outclass those of their civilian counterparts in one area after another.

The bottom line is: Veteran employees make a difference that shows up in your bottom line. Here’s how:

  • Cutting-edge technical training from the military, in critical fields
  • Teamwork & Leadership
  • Mission-Driven
  • Responsibility
  • Problem Solving
